Decide it here, or build it weekly.
Think Together is paid advice: a CTO Deep Dive at $250. Build Together is weekly development in one-week cycles, from $3,000 per week. Take one, take both over time, orstart with a short call if you are unsure.
Published pricing · no custom quotes · you pay for shipped work, not hours
Decide what to do next.
When the problem is unfinished, the useful service is thinking, not building. The CTO Deep Dive is a working session with Zeljko on whatever you bring.
A Deep Dive is two focused hours on your situation:architecture questions, product planning, AI assessment, or a technical diagnosis. The conversation is shaped by your problem, not by an agenda.
Founders use it before a first build, when a project stalls, before a build-versus-buy call, or when the codebase has become hard to change and priorities are unclear.
- An idea, a stalled plan, or a codebase, in any state
- The decision you keep deferring
- Nothing prepared in advance is required

Fixed-price diagnostics and planning engagements. Every fee is credited toward a sprint if you book within 14 days.
User Friction Teardown
Half a day. A clear map of where your users are getting stuck. We tear down your core user journey step-by-step and show you exactly where friction is blocking your growth.
Architecture Roadmap
One day of strategic planning that ends in a focused plan for your architecture. Two starting directions:
- From an idea: product direction, technology choices, build phases, core UX flows
- From an existing codebase: full diagnostic, alternatives, and priorities
Every starting-point fee is credited toward a sprint when you book within 14 days.
Ship work every week.
Momentum Sprints are one-week development cycles with a clear priority, visible progress, and a review you decide on every Friday.
Explore
Explore a path forward with prototypes, technical investigation, and fast feedback, so the decision to commit rests on evidence.
Ask about ExploreBuild
Dedicated senior product engineering for teams that know what matters and need visible weekly progress.
Ask about the Build tierCrew
Move faster when the work spans UX, frontend, backend, and integration without adding agency overhead.
Scale with CrewStart small, scale fast. Most engagements begin with Explore at $3K per week, personally led. Once we’re aligned on goals and tasks, we ramp up to larger initiatives. Each sprint has a clear set of goals, so execution stays fast and progress stays visible. Sprints can carry a UX focus too: run the User Friction Teardown first, then spend a build week fixing what it found.
Take one path, or both in turn.
Think it through first, or start building this week. If the right entry point is unclear, the 30-minute call exists for exactly that.
