// SYS_INIT: FRACTIONAL_CTO + AI_ARCHITECT
Vidhata Trivedy, Fractional CTO and AI Architect. Your AI MVP demos well.
I make it hold up when real users hit it.
10+ years as co-founder, Head of Technology, and CTO. I take products from beta MVP in 15 days to production launch in 45 to 90, embed AI into the systems you already run, and rescue fragile AI-built MVPs before they collapse.

AUDIENCE_A // FOUNDER · VC
I'm a founder or investor looking for a Fractional CTO.
Launch your startup idea in days, not weeks, and pass technical due diligence when it counts.
AUDIENCE_B // SME · AGENCY · ENTERPRISE
I run a business and want an AI / automation architect.
Put AI to work inside the ERP, CRM, LMS, and workflows you already run, with governance you can defend.
[02] THE PROBLEM
PROB_01
Vibe-coded MVP falling apart?
It demoed beautifully and breaks the moment real users arrive. Every release brings a new bug, and nobody can fully explain the codebase.
PROB_02
AI pilots that never reached production?
Promising experiments that stalled. There was no real architecture or governance behind them, and no path from a notebook to something the business could run on.
PROB_03
Facing technical due diligence with no documentation?
You suspect the next diligence call goes badly, and the rebuild you're quietly dreading lands somewhere between expensive and terminal.
There's a disciplined way through it. Accuracy comes first, speed second, and perfection last, in that order.
[03] FIVE EDGES
EDGE_01
Fractional CTO for Seed to Series A SaaS
A technical co-founder who ships, not a strategist with a deck.
Architecture and DB design from first principles, AI pipelines, DevOps and CI/CD, and the hiring pipeline behind your first engineers.
EDGE_02
AI-pipeline architect for agencies
AI embedded into your delivery, built for agencies, not science projects.
Backend automation pipelines, RAG, and agentic workflows wired into the tools your team already runs on.
EDGE_03
Technical due-diligence auditor
Pass the technical read instead of triggering a costly rebuild.
Architecture, scalability, security, IP and maintainability assessment with a red-flag report and remediation estimate for VCs, PE, and acquirers.
EDGE_04
Enterprise skill-intelligence & LMS consultant
Move HR and L&D from intuition to evidence.
Multi-tenant skill-intelligence platforms, adaptive IRT assessment engines, and secure RBAC across enterprise clients (SiGiL / NxtCurve).
EDGE_05
Rescue operations for fragile AI MVPs
Turn an AI-built MVP that breaks with real users into something you can scale.
Stabilize architecture, secure APIs and data, cut technical debt, add CI/CD, and migrate toward production-native.

[06] HOW I WORK
Find Mutual Fit or book the teardown
Answer a short diagnostic, or go straight to the $1,000 Architecture Teardown.
I tear down your architecture
You get a documented plan: diagrams, ER schemas, a full audit, and a prioritized roadmap that your CEO and your engineers both trust.
We execute
Retainer, ongoing oversight, or rescue ops, whichever the teardown says you actually need.
[07] FEATURED CASE
NxtCurve // Founding Technology Partner & Fractional CTO
SiGiL
THE PROBLEM
Assess and grow workforce skills adaptively without LLM latency killing every request.
WHAT I BUILT
An adaptive, IRT-based assessment engine, a multi-tenant data model with secure RBAC, AI-curated learning paths, and multi-LLM integration with background generation so the front end never waits.
WHAT IT DID
A working Workforce Decision Intelligence platform moving HR from intuition to evidence, in production with enterprise multi-tenancy.

What's a Fractional CTO versus a CAIO?+
As a Fractional CTO I take founders from zero to one: I set the technical vision, architect the MVP and AI pipelines, stand up DevOps, and get you to a state Series A diligence respects. As a fractional AI/automation architect (CAIO) for established businesses, I audit how the company actually runs and embed AI into the ERP, CRM, or LMS you already use, with governance you can defend.
How fast can you ship?+
Accuracy comes first, then speed, then perfection, in that order. A POC takes roughly 2 days, a beta MVP about 15, and a production build 45 to 90. When scope balloons, I cut features, not quality.
What does the Architecture Teardown include?+
A dense Architecture Teardown PDF with system diagrams and database ER schemas, a full audit (architecture, DB schema, scalability, model/AI-dev, security, code maintainability, auth and access control, prompting strategy), guardrails, strategy, and a prioritized roadmap. It's readable by your CEO and executable by engineers (or AI coding agents).
What if my MVP was built with AI tools?+
That's a common starting point, not a problem. The Teardown is the diagnostic entry point: I map what you have, what's fragile, and the exact sequence to fix it. Then rescue ops stabilizes the architecture, secures your data, cuts technical debt, and migrates toward production.
Where do you work?+
I'm open to working with founders and operators across the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and India/global. Most of the work is async, with a small number of scheduled sync sessions per engagement.
How do we start?+
Find mutual fit through the short diagnostic, or book a free 20-minute fit call. For serious buyers, the $1,000 Architecture Teardown is the fastest way to a documented plan and a clear next step.
