Fractional Solution Architect
Fractional solution architect services
Architecture decisions made once, written down, and held to.
A named architect who owns the system design across your platforms - integration boundaries, data contracts, and the build-vs-buy calls underneath them. For teams shipping faster than their architecture was designed for, where every new feature costs more than the last one did.
What this covers
- End-to-end solution design across platforms, integrations, and data flow
- Architecture decision records, so a call made once stays made
- Technical due diligence on vendors, platforms, and inherited systems
- Design authority over delivery teams, with review gates that actually hold
How we engage
- Map the current architecture and name where it is actually costing you
- Embed a named architect with design authority over delivery
- Land the target architecture and hand over the decision record
Business impact
- Integration work stops being rediscovered on every project
- Technical debt gets paid down against a plan rather than absorbed as drag
- Delivery estimates get more reliable as the architecture stops surprising teams
Transformation outcomes
- A documented target architecture the team builds toward, not around
- Integration and data contracts that new work plugs into instead of reinventing
- An in-house team that inherits the design authority, not just the diagrams

How is this different from hiring an advisor?
An advisor gives you an opinion; a fractional executive owns the outcome. Ours sit inside your leadership team with the roadmap, the vendor decisions, and the delivery accountability - the same responsibilities the permanent hire would carry.
