Technical Due Diligence
Inspect the product architecture, infrastructure, CI/CD, data boundaries, model dependencies, and operational risk before investment, acquisition, or a major build.
Work with DemocAI
AI Fractional CTO for SaaS and infrastructure-heavy teams.
DemocAI works with founders who need senior technical judgment on AI architecture, engineering delivery, infrastructure, hiring, and product risk before the next big engineering commitment.
AI Strategy & Roadmap
Answer the first-order AI questions: agents or workflows, RAG or fine-tuning, OpenAI or Anthropic or open source, and how inference cost will be measured.
Engineering Team Scaling
Set hiring profiles, review team structure, choose delivery rituals, and define the engineering standards needed before the team grows.
Architecture Review
Find the production risks in cloud topology, Terraform, Kubernetes, service boundaries, auth, observability, and data flow before adding AI behavior.
CTO Office
Provide recurring technical leadership for founder decisions, vendor review, product architecture, delivery planning, incident follow-up, and board-facing technical material.
Interim CTO
Lead technical direction while the company searches for a permanent CTO, prepares for Series A, or replaces an expensive engineering management layer.
AI architecture decisions
Practical answers before the team writes six months of code.
The work turns open questions into a written plan: which model path to use, where human review belongs, how data enters the system, how logs prove behavior, how fallback paths work, and what the first production milestone should be.
