The annual chart rebuild
40–60 hrs
Importing, formatting, reformatting the same data. Every single year.
4.5 hrs
Plain-English prompts. Your brand colors. Reproducible every year.
BizWest Media — real result, not a projection.
- Your tech stack is held together with tape, and the only person who understood it left.
- You're refereeing technology decisions nobody on your staff is equipped to make.
- Every new tool promises to help and hands you another thing to manage.
You're not behind because you're not smart enough.
A fractional CTO is a department, not a hire.
CTO-level leadership without the full-time cost — and behind it, the people who do the work: developers, frontend, operations. Strategy from Jacob, delivery from a real bench. A team doesn't vanish, go on vacation, or quit.
We took a daily human-in-the-middle process out of a publisher's paywall — and not a line of it needed AI.
Every piece of the engagement, purchasable on its own.

We're an extension of your team, not a vendor you manage.
Twenty years in web development, seventeen of them inside the business-journal industry. We have sat in your chair. You get a partner who answers, who knows publishing deadlines, and who tells you plainly when technology is not the answer.
A team does not vanish, go on vacation, or quit.
