summary: >
  How an engagement can be structured. Each is independent and low-commitment.
  The work is advisory: recommendations, not unilateral decisions; the client
  keeps all decision authority.

models:
  "Fixed-scope advisory assessment": "A defined number of focused working days producing a decision-ready overview across the agreed areas, captured in an Oracle. Breadth-first: a complete picture quickly, with deeper follow-on work clearly flagged."
  "Advisory retainer or fractional CTO": "Ongoing part-time senior technical leadership and advisory on a recurring basis."
  "Project engagement": "A scoped implementation or integration project with defined outcomes."
  "Workshop or deep dive": "A short, focused session on a specific decision: architecture, AI posture, or integration approach."

posture:
  - "Internal-facing advisory; no public-facing or customer-facing activity unless explicitly agreed."
  - "No commitment required beyond the defined engagement itself."
