Common questions
What is an embedded platform advisor?
An embedded platform advisor is a senior, founder-level advisor on a monthly retainer who reviews progress against a platform roadmap, supports escalations, and re-prioritises periodically. It is sold as a follow-on to a Platform Roadmap Audit, not as a standalone engagement.
Can we start here?
No. The Embedded Platform Advisor follows a Roadmap Audit or a Platform Strategy Workshop, so there is an agreed direction to advise against. Starting here without a roadmap would mean advising without context.
Do you run the platform?
No. You execute; we advise. This is an advisory retainer, not an operational role.
How much time is included?
A capped number of advisory hours each month, agreed up front. The cap keeps the engagement advisory and the cost predictable.
Executing a platform roadmap and want a senior advisor on call?
The Embedded Platform Advisor follows a Roadmap Audit. If you have already completed one, tell us about your platform and where you are in the execution.
