Cto Advisor

A comprehensive framework for technical leadership that goes way beyond abstract advice. You get Python tools for analyzing technical debt and calculating team scaling needs, plus ready-to-use templates for architecture decision records and technology evaluations. The included DORA metrics targets and engineering KPIs give you actual numbers to aim for (deployment frequency over once per day, lead time under one day). It covers the full CTO role from weekly cadences to quarterly planning cycles, vendor management to crisis response playbooks. Best for engineering leaders who want structured frameworks instead of winging it, though you'll need to adapt the specific metrics and ratios to your context.

Clarify First

What most shapes CTO advice is the kind of technical decision being made and the size, criticality and constraints of the team and systems behind it. Settle the inputs below before advising. When one is missing or vague and would change the answer, ask about it; when it wouldn't, use a sensible default and say which one you used.
