Technical Advisory & Audit Services for Hard Decisions

Not every challenge requires a full build team. Sometimes you need an honest assessment, a prioritized plan, or senior leadership embedded part-time while you scale. Froxfire's advisory practice gives you direct access to experienced engineers who have designed, shipped, and operated systems at enterprise scale — without the overhead of a traditional consulting firm.

What we deliver

Our advisory engagements are structured for action. You receive clear findings, ranked recommendations, and a path forward your team can execute — whether you continue with Froxfire for implementation or handle it internally.

• Architecture review — A thorough, honest assessment of your current systems: strengths, risks, bottlenecks, and technical debt — with specific remediation options and effort estimates.
• Security audit — Application, infrastructure, and data-flow review to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps before they become incidents.
• Technical roadmap — A prioritized plan tied to business goals, with milestones, dependencies, and resource requirements your leadership can budget against.
• Fractional CTO — Senior technical leadership on a part-time or project basis: hiring support, vendor evaluation, engineering culture, and board-level communication.

Use cases we solve

Founders and CTOs engage us before a major platform rewrite, after a security incident, or when engineering velocity stalls despite growing headcount. We have conducted pre-investment technical due diligence, reviewed architectures ahead of compliance audits, and provided interim leadership during CTO transitions.

Product teams also use our advisory services to validate vendor selections, evaluate build-versus-buy decisions, and stress-test designs before committing months of engineering effort to the wrong approach.

Honest, actionable output

Our reviews are direct — we tell you what is working, what is not, and what we would do if we were on your team. Findings are documented with evidence, not vague recommendations. Security audits include severity-ranked issues with remediation guidance. Roadmaps distinguish quick wins from strategic investments, so you can sequence work realistically.

For fractional CTO engagements, we integrate with your existing team: attending leadership meetings, reviewing pull requests, mentoring engineers, and representing technology strategy to stakeholders — without creating a dependency that outlasts the engagement.

Why Froxfire

Advisory work is only valuable when it comes from people who have built and operated real systems. Our reviewers are practicing engineers, not career consultants. That means recommendations are grounded in what actually works in production — not theoretical best practices disconnected from your constraints.
