External CTO and AI consulting

First define what the business needs. Then implement it.

Gonenych works as an external CTO for a specific AI or digital task: mapping the process, shaping solution options, checking data and risk, selecting a product, delivery partner or architecture and staying involved through acceptance.

Review the task

Service model

CTO-level thinking without a full-time hire.

Consulting is not a development presale. The output belongs to the client and can be implemented by an internal team, a selected vendor or with our guidance.

Consulting as a standalone output

Diagnosis, solution options, recommendation, risk and a guideline that remains useful regardless of the delivery partner.

External CTO in the loop

Negotiation, scope, vendor selection, contracts, prioritisation, feature review and acceptance.

Implementation when required

If code or integration is needed, delivery can involve the client's team, a selected vendor or A-HOV. The task determines the choice.

Capability basis

From decision to a working product.

Experience covers more than AI tools. It includes the full CTO scope: client, contracts, team, architecture, delivery, review and release.

CTO

Full accountability scope

Clients, delivery partners, contracts, project management, review and acceptance.

Review the case

When consulting is useful

Start with the decision, not the model name.

01

Tools are already paid for, but there is no result

Examine the actual jobs, lost time and which products should remain.

02

The business needs a corporate toolset

Compare products, access models, administration, data handling and the real team need.

03

A manual workflow needs to move faster

Map the workflow and decide between a product, API, automation or custom development.

04

The team uses AI without working rules

Define permitted data, risk, output verification, ownership and escalation.

What we compare

Product, automation, API or custom solution.

The choice depends on data, task frequency, control, integrations and the cost of error. Tool popularity is not a decision criterion.

Ready AI product

For a common task, permitted data and a team that needs a fast start.

Automation

When several systems need to run a repeated workflow without manual copying.

API and code

When the business needs custom logic, control, integrations or scale.

Local model

When data and environment requirements rule out an external service.

Consulting output

Not a market tour. A decision for your context.

01

Task map

What is worth solving with AI and what should remain untouched.

02

Recommended approach

Tool, working mode, constraints and alternatives.

03

Safety rules

Permitted data, output verification, access and ownership.

04

Next step

Independent rollout, training, automation or custom development.

Public case standard

A case is published only when the result can be verified.

01

Starting process

Record the task, manual steps, time, volume and cost of error before any change.

02

Decision

Show the selected approach, alternatives, constraints and security gate.

03

Artefact

Include the workflow, operating rules, prototype or working integration.

04

Outcome

Compare the same measures after launch without changing the measurement method.

05

Attribution

Name the client or clearly label an anonymous case and its verification limits.

How work continues

The recommendation does not lock you to a vendor.
