A fractional CTO for businesses that aren't ready for a full-time one.

The problem

Sounds familiar?

  • Technology decisions get made by whoever is closest to them.
  • You're not sure whether you're paying too much for software or for developers.
  • Vendors and freelancers each have a different answer.
  • Everyone says you need AI, but nobody says where.
  • Growth keeps adding tools instead of fixing processes.

Technology Leadership

What you get

  • Business assessment

    A review of your systems, workflows and spend, and a written view of what to fix first.

  • Technology roadmap

    What to build, buy, replace or retire, in what order, for what investment.

  • Architecture

    How your systems, data and integrations fit together, designed to grow.

  • Vendor and hiring decisions

    A second opinion on quotes, contracts, tools and the developers you hire.

  • AI strategy

    Where AI pays off in your business, and a plan to get there.

  • A direct line

    A standing meeting, plus same-day response when something can't wait.

In practice

Before building anything for a pool builder, we mapped the real workflow from lead to final inspection. That map became the system.

How it works

Understand the operation. Then build.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand the business, workflow, people, technology, and problems — before anyone talks about features.

  2. 02

    Design

    Architect the solution before development begins: data, systems, integrations, and the experience around them.

  3. 03

    Build

    Develop, integrate, test, and deploy the system — in milestones you can see and use.

  4. 04

    Evolve

    Maintain, optimize, automate, and continuously improve. Built isn't the end.

Questions

Common questions

What is a fractional CTO?
A senior technology leader who works with your business part-time, on a monthly cadence, instead of as a full-time executive hire.
How is this different from hiring a developer or an agency?
A developer or agency builds what you ask for. A fractional CTO helps decide what to ask for: what to build, what to buy, and in what order.
How does it start?
With a business assessment: a review of your systems, workflows and technology spend, and a written view of what to fix first.
Do you work on-site?
Yes, across Los Angeles, Pasadena and Orange County. Most of the work happens remotely, with on-site meetings when they help.
Where is ClawCTRL based?
In Southern California. We work with businesses in Los Angeles, Pasadena and Orange County in person or remotely, and with clients across the US.
