Why 84% of Businesses Have Critical Tech Leadership Gaps

You can't challenge what you don't understand. Most businesses are at the mercy of their technical partners.

Overpriced, Underdelivered Projects

Without technical expertise, you can't challenge vendor quotes, timelines, or quality. Average UK businesses overpay 40-60% on development projects.

Missing Technical Opportunities

Competitors gain advantages through better technology decisions whilst you're still figuring out your technical strategy.

Full-Time CTO is Too Expensive

£120K-£300K+ annually plus benefits, equity, and 6-month hiring process. Most businesses need strategic oversight, not a full-time executive.
