Fixed-scope offers. Transparent prices.

Format

15-day engagement · 2 to 4 sessions of 2 hours each + async comms

Deliverables

• — A dense Architecture Teardown PDF with system diagrams and DB ER schemas
• — Full audit: architecture & system design, DB schema, scalability, model/AI-dev, security, code maintainability, auth & access control, prompting strategy & guards
• — System design, guardrails, and strategy
• — A prioritized remediation roadmap

Who it's for

Founders with a prototype/MVP (including AI-built) unsure about scale, security, or production-readiness; acquirers and VCs wanting a fast technical read.

Who it's not for

Pure idea-stage with nothing built (start with the Retainer); teams who want someone to write all the code this month (that's execution, which Brahma Labs handles).

What to expect

A clear, documented picture readable by your CEO and executable by engineers (or AI coding agents).

What not to expect

A 50-page document nobody reads, rewrites during the teardown, or vanity metrics.

Expected of you

Repo/access (read-only is fine), one decision-maker available for the sessions, and honest context on how it was built.

Format

~10 hrs/week · biweekly sync strategy sessions · async throughout

Deliverables

• — Architecture & system design
• — The 14-step build process
• — AI pipelines
• — DevOps / CI-CD
• — Beta MVP in 15 days
• — Production launch in 45 to 90 days
• — Team bootstrapping and due-diligence prep

Who it's for

Pre-seed to Series A founders who need a CTO's judgment and hands now, without a full-time hire.

Who it's not for

Companies needing daily full-time executive presence (hire full-time); teams of 8 or more engineers that need a permanent CTO.

What to expect

A shipped product, a defensible architecture, and a roadmap, with scope cut (not quality) when timelines tighten.

What not to expect

Gold-plating or over-engineering. 90% of technical debt stems from over-engineering.

Expected of you

Product decisions, user access for build-with-users, and responsiveness in the biweekly syncs.

Format

Async-first · max 1 sync meeting/month if required

Deliverables

• — Continuous architectural review
• — Process oversight
• — Decision guardrails
• — Technical-debt triage

Who it's for

Teams executing on their own who want senior judgment on call.

Who it's not for

Teams needing hands-on daily building.

What to expect

A steady architectural backstop and unblocked decisions.

What not to expect

Daily hands-on-keyboard implementation.

Expected of you

Visibility into your repo and decisions, and a point person.

Format

Process audit → roadmap → embed → govern; sync + async; hours/meetings defined per scope

Deliverables

• — Process audit
• — AI embedded into ERP / CRM / LMS / HRMS / CMS
• — RAG and agentic workflows
• — Multi-system integrations
• — AI governance and compliance

Who it's for

SMEs, MSMEs, agencies, and enterprises with real processes to improve.

Who it's not for

Teams chasing AI for its own sake with no process to anchor it.

What to expect

A prioritized, ROI-anchored plan.

What not to expect

A science project.

Expected of you

Process access and a point person who can make decisions.

Format

Scoped project engagement for VCs, PE, and acquirers

Deliverables

• — Architecture, scalability, security, IP and maintainability assessment
• — Red-flag report
• — Remediation cost / effort estimate

Who it's for

VCs, PE firms, and acquirers evaluating a technical asset.

Who it's not for

Pre-product companies with nothing to assess yet.

What to expect

A clear-eyed read on risk, with the remediation cost surfaced.

What not to expect

A rubber-stamp.

Expected of you

Access to the target's repo, team, and infrastructure.
