## FAQ

**What does a fractional CTO actually do?**
A fractional CTO provides senior technology leadership on a part-time or project basis. Instead of a full-time executive hire, you get experienced guidance on architecture decisions, vendor selection, AI strategy, and team structure — calibrated to your actual needs and budget.

**When should a company consider a technology assessment?**
When you're unsure whether your current systems can support your next stage of growth, when you're evaluating a major platform change, or when you suspect your technology spend isn't translating into business value. An assessment gives you clarity before you commit resources.

**How is Vitasphere different from a traditional consulting firm?**
We don't send a team of junior analysts with a template. You work directly with a senior technologist who has built and shipped in your industry. Our recommendations come from two decades of hands-on work, not from a playbook.

**Do you work with companies outside Northwest Arkansas?**
Yes. While we're based in Northwest Arkansas, most engagements are remote or hybrid. We work with companies across the United States — the only requirement is that you're serious about improving how technology serves your business.

**What's your approach to agentic AI?**
We evaluate AI systems based on what they actually do well today — not what a vendor promises for next quarter. We help you identify where agentic AI creates real value in your operations, where it's not ready yet, and how to build the foundation so you're ready when it is.

**How much does a fractional CTO engagement cost?**
Every engagement is scoped to what you actually need, so pricing is discussed during our initial conversation. Book a discovery call and we'll give you a straight answer.

**How long does a typical engagement last?**
It depends on scope. An assessment is a few weeks. Advisory relationships are ongoing, typically month-to-month. Transformation partnerships run the length of the project. There are no long-term contracts — we stay as long as we're useful.

**What size companies do you work with?**
From Series A startups making their first architecture decisions to Fortune 500 enterprises navigating platform migrations. The common thread is a need for experienced technology leadership at a critical moment.

**What happens after an assessment?**
You get a written deliverable with findings and a prioritized roadmap. From there, you can execute independently, bring us on for advisory, or engage us for full transformation oversight. No pressure — the assessment stands on its own.
