Questions buyers ask
Is this advisory only?
No. The strongest engagements combine technical direction with hands-on delivery on the riskiest or most valuable parts.
Can you work with our existing engineers?
Yes. Code review, mentoring, architecture pairing, and delivery unblockers are common parts of the retainer.
How is this different from a consultant?
The role is closer to a part-time technical lead: recurring context, delivery ownership, and practical engineering support instead of one-off advice.
