Advisory ROI
What does faster strategic decision-making save you?
Decision weeks recovered, opportunity cost reclaimed, fractional CTO breakeven — modeled on your decision cadence.
Your profile
Vendor choices, architecture pivots, build-vs-buy calls that the CTO weighs in on.
Calendar time from question raised to decision committed today.
What a week of stalled progress costs you (deal slip, eng idle, missed window).
Your blended cost for the engagement.
Decision-weeks recovered / year
—
Assumes ~60% reduction in decision delay with senior advisory in the loop.
Opportunity cost recovered / year
—
Decisions × weeks saved × opportunity cost.
Fractional CTO breakeven
—
Months until recovered opportunity covers the engagement fee.
Assumptions used in this model
- · 60% reduction in decision delay with senior advisory in the loop — based on PLEXI internal benchmarks across fractional CTO engagements.
- · Opportunity cost per delay week is your input — defaults to $25K (deal slip risk + engineering idle time + missed window).
- · Fractional CTO fee defaults to $15K/month — adjust to match your engagement structure.
- · Breakeven is capped at 36 months for legibility. Most engagements pay back within the first 2 quarters at the listed cadence.
These are PLEXI-internal benchmarks for first-pass sizing, not customer-validated numbers. Calibrate on a fit-check call.
