The Math

Why Embedded Leadership Makes Sense

Full-Time CTO

$37,500/mo
  • — Base salary: $25,000
  • — Bonus (20%): $5,000
  • — Benefits & burden: $7,500
  • ● ~28% time on technical execution
  • ● ~72% on meetings & overhead
vs

Embedded Leadership

$10-20K/mo
  • ✓ Scope-based engagement
  • ✓ No benefits or equity required
  • ✓ Minimal overhead
  • ● ~95% time on technical execution
  • ● Every meeting is a working session

The real question isn't "Can we afford fractional?"
It's "What could we do with an extra $250K/year?"
