Engagement model
How PrecisionLogic Engagements Work
There are two ways to work with PrecisionLogic. Fractional CTO engagements start with a two-week Discovery Sprint, then run month over month at $12,000 to $15,000. Agentic AI builds are standalone fixed-fee packages between $3,500 and $20,000, scoped before you commit.
Key takeaways
- Two tracks: an ongoing Fractional CTO engagement, or a standalone fixed-fee build.
- Discovery Sprint: two weeks, produces a roadmap you keep either way.
- Ongoing engagement: $12,000 to $15,000 per month, six-month initial commitment, 30 days notice to end.
- Builds: $3,500 to $20,000 per package, 50% at kickoff and 50% on acceptance.
- You own the code, prompts, configuration, and documentation on either track.
Step 1: Discovery Sprint
Two weeks.
We map four things: your operating model, your stack, your team, and the places where agents compound value.
That means interviews with your leadership and your operators, a full inventory of tools with cost and actual utilization, a look at your data, and a workflow-level assessment of where automation returns most.
You leave with:
- A 24-month technology roadmap with sequencing and dependencies
- A stack inventory with consolidation and cost recommendations
- An AI readiness assessment naming specific workflows, expected impact, and effort
- A clear recommendation on whether an ongoing partnership makes sense
The roadmap is yours regardless of what you decide next. No pressure either way, and we will tell you if the answer is no.
Step 2: Onboarding month
Month one of the ongoing engagement.
We plug into your leadership cadence, your Slack, and your tooling. We finalize the roadmap with your team rather than at them, lock priorities for the next two quarters, and start shipping the first wave of work.
By the end of month one there is something in production. That is deliberate. Momentum in the first 30 days is the strongest predictor of whether a transformation sticks.
Step 3: The ongoing engagement
Month over month.
This is the actual relationship. A senior operator available every week:
- Driving the roadmap and adjusting it as the AI landscape moves
- Leading vendor evaluations and technical hiring decisions
- Architecting and shipping agents and integrations
- Running the technology conversation at your leadership table
- Preparing you and your board for the technology narrative
- Being reachable when something breaks
The build track
Not everyone needs a seat at the leadership table. Some companies know exactly what they want built and need it delivered well.
Agentic AI builds are sold as standalone fixed-fee packages. Matt scopes the work, designs the architecture, and builds through delivery. Nothing ships until it has passed a written quality review. PrecisionLogic is the prime on the engagement, so you have one accountable relationship.
See the build packages and what each one costs
What it costs
| Ongoing engagement | Agentic AI build | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | Month over month | 4 to 8 weeks typical |
| Commitment | 6 months initial | Per package |
| Price | $12,000 to $15,000 per month | $3,500 to $20,000 fixed |
| Payment | Monthly in advance | 50% kickoff, 50% acceptance |
| Change orders | None | Only for scope changes you approve |
What is not included: third-party software licenses, model and API usage costs, and infrastructure. Those are billed to your accounts directly so you own them and can see them.
Commercial terms in plain language
- Initial commitment: six months, then month over month.
- Notice: 30 days, either side, no termination fee.
- IP: you own everything built. Code, prompts, configuration, and documentation live in your accounts.
- Vendor neutrality: no referral fees, reseller commissions, or platform sponsorships, from anyone.
Do you ever do one-off projects?
Yes. That is what the build track is for, and it is a deliberate second door rather than a reluctant exception. Builds are scoped to a fixed fee before you commit, and we will say directly if we think a project would leave you worse off than doing nothing.
How we measure success
Three lenses, reviewed quarterly:
- Operating metrics that reach the P&L. Cycle time, cost per unit of work, throughput per head.
- Leverage created. Work taken off the team, decisions accelerated, hours recovered.
- Durable assets. Systems, documentation, and team capability that keep working after we step back.
The third one is the point. If the value leaves when we leave, the engagement failed.
Frequently asked questions
Which track is right for us?
If the decisions are the problem, take the Fractional CTO track. If the decision is already made and you need the thing built, take the build track. If you are unsure, the discovery call sorts it in thirty minutes and there is no cost to finding out.
Can we do a build first and add a fractional engagement later?
Yes, and that is a common path. A build often surfaces the strategic questions worth an ongoing engagement. There is no penalty for starting small and no requirement to move up.
What is the minimum commitment?
Six months for the ongoing engagement, after which it runs month over month with 30 days notice. The Discovery Sprint carries no commitment beyond itself.
Can we start with just the Discovery Sprint?
Yes, and many do. It stands alone, and you keep the roadmap whether or not you continue.
What happens if we want to stop?
Thirty days notice, no termination fee. Documentation, code, and credentials transfer within that window.
Do you work on site?
Primarily remote, based in Los Angeles, with on-site visits for kickoff, quarterly planning, and anything that genuinely benefits from being in the room.
How many clients do you take at once?
A deliberately small number, because the model depends on availability. If capacity is full we will tell you and give you a realistic date.
Let's talk
A 30-minute discovery call is the fastest way to find out whether an embedded Fractional CTO is the right move right now. If it is not, you still leave with a clearer view of the next 24 months.
