FAQ

• What does an Architecture Review include?+−

  The Architecture Review is a fixed-scope, two-week engagement. It begins with a scope definition call to establish what's in flight or planned, followed by a full review of your Agentforce initiative's current or proposed architecture. You receive a written assessment covering what's sound, what's at risk, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. An optional follow-up call walks through findings with your team.

• How does a Fractional Chief Architect retainer work?+−

  On retainer, our founder serves as your independent architectural authority across the program. This typically includes a monthly architecture review cadence, review of work delivered by your SI or internal teams before it ships, architecture decision records for significant design choices, and a clear escalation path for high-risk changes. Retainer scope is defined at the start of each engagement and adjusted as the program evolves.

• Can engagement types be combined?+−

  Yes. Many clients start with an Architecture Review to establish a baseline, then extend into a Fractional Chief Architect retainer or a project-scoped Custom Engagement. The assessment findings directly inform the scope of whatever comes next.

• What is your technology focus?+−

  The primary focus is Salesforce Agentforce including architecture, agentic experiences, external integrations, and production observability. For engagements that require a modern web layer, we bring deep experience in Next.js and Vercel, allowing for a 100% custom front-end that is vendor agnostic of your agentic back-end. Infrastructure outside the Salesforce and Vercel platforms is handled on a case-by-case basis.

• How are engagements priced and billed?+−

  Architecture Reviews are fixed-fee, quoted before kick-off. Retainer engagements are billed monthly. Custom project engagements are quoted per scope and typically structured as a percentage upfront with the remainder based on flexible options. All engagements are invoiced. Payment terms are established in the engagement contract.
