How the process works
Review
We inspect the product, roadmap, stack, team structure, and decision pressure.
Prioritize
We separate urgent technical risks from nice-to-have improvements.
Decide
We document recommendations for architecture, vendors, hiring, delivery, and scope.
Govern
For ongoing work, we support sprint planning, quality control, and delivery rhythm.
Typical engagement models
Advisory Sprint: one focused review with recommendations.
Monthly Fractional Lead: recurring technical and product leadership.
Build Oversight: LeadWise supervises or coordinates an external/internal development team.
Founder Technical Partner: deeper involvement for early-stage products, optionally including hybrid fee/equity discussions when appropriate.

FAQ
Is this the same as a technical co-founder?
No. LeadWise can bring co-founder-style thinking as a technical partner, but this is not a legal or equity promise.
Can you review an existing team or vendor?
Yes. We can review delivery quality, architecture risk, roadmap clarity, and collaboration process.
Can this be monthly?
Yes. Some teams need a one-time advisory sprint, while others need recurring product and technical leadership.
