about CTO as a Service.
Answers to the questions I get most often about pricing, lock-in, and working alongside agencies and developers.

What you’re probably wondering
For a lot of things, yes. Use it to write a product description, explain a GA4 concept or draft a first Klaviyo flow.
But an AI model doesn’t know your setup. It can’t log in to Shopify and notice that your server-side container is losing part of your purchases, and it can’t turn down an agency quote because you already have an app that does the same thing. It sounds just as convincing whether it is right or wrong, and it takes experience to spot when it is wrong.
I use AI every day myself. It makes me faster, and that is part of why the packages cost what they do. You are paying for judgement and accountability, not for text.
The agreement runs one month at a time. If you cancel, it ends at the end of that month. There is no minimum term.
Yes, and that is often where Advisory adds the most. I don’t replace the agency. I make sure you get what you pay for, that quotes are reasonable, and that their solutions fit the rest of your setup.
The focus is Shopify and Shopify Plus. GA4, server-side tracking, CRO and Klaviyo work the same way on other platforms, though, so ask if you run something else.
Because a store with one market and three apps needs less than one with five markets, an ERP and two agencies. You get a fixed monthly price before we start, and it doesn’t change unless we agree on it.
Then I tell you before the hours are spent. You can move up a package from the next month, or we do the work as a separate fixed-price project, such as a new app or a migration.
