RYO Embedded

Individually scoped. Your written agreement sets the fee and scope.

  • You get a private instance, and I sit in the work with you.
  • Not a ticket queue.
  • Not a black-box vendor.
  • We scope together
  • I ship inside your organization
  • You keep the platform when I leave

What Embedded adds

Private environment, elevated security, and faster support from + are included. Embedded is the relationship on top.

Embedded engineering

I do the build in your cadence. No account manager between you and the work.

Operating partnership

Roadmap, budget, and whether you should hire for this sit in the same conversation as the software.

Capability transfer

Docs, credentials, and judgment stay with you. I am not a permanent staff CTO.

Part-time, inside your structure, with a clear edge.

  • Typical weeks are bounded.
  • I report to one owner on your side.
  • I will not become full-time staff, and I will not disappear behind a vendor wall.
  • If the work needs a hire instead of me, I will say so.
  • One owner on your side. I do not get passed between committees.
  • Hours are capped in the agreement. This is not an open retainer by accident.
  • When I leave, the instance, credentials, and runbooks stay with you.

Climate Revolution NJ

  • Their list, mail, and daily tools moved onto infrastructure they keep.
  • Mass email came back within days of losing the old sender.
  • One platform replaced a patchwork of rented tools.
  • It has been in daily use since launch.
  • The technical roadmap sits inside the organization, on their budget.

If you need a person in the work, not another vendor.
