How "My MVP has been in planning for 6 months and we still haven't started building" Impacts Automotive
This problem has significant impact on Automotive companies, affecting operational efficiency, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. In the Automotive Tech sector, this problem manifests differently than in other industries, requiring specialized expertise and industry-specific solutions.
Business Impact
Burning $40K-$80K per month in team salaries with zero revenue. Competitors shipping and capturing market share. Investors asking uncomfortable questions about progress. Missing market timing window. Opportunity cost exceeding $500K.
Automotive Tech Specific: Revenue loss, customer churn, competitive disadvantage
Team Impact
Developers losing motivation sitting in planning meetings. Best engineers starting to look for other jobs where they can actually build. Team cynicism increasing about whether product will ever launch. Morale at all-time low.
Automotive Tech teams face unique pressure and expertise requirements
Leadership Impact
Embarrassed to tell investors you still haven't launched after 6 months. Constant anxiety about competition moving faster. Losing sleep over opportunity cost. Family asking when your startup will actually start. Feeling like an imposter who can't execute.

Our Automotive Tech-Specific Approach
We combine deep Automotive Tech industry expertise with proven problem-solving methodologies to deliver solutions that work in your specific context.
Solution Framework
An experienced fractional CTO brings the decision-making authority and technical judgment your team needs. We ruthlessly cut your 47-page spec down to a 2-page MVP definition, make confident technical architecture decisions based on proven patterns, and get your team building immediately. The secret: shipped and learning beats perfect planning every time.
For Automotive Tech companies, we adapt this approach to account for industry-specific challenges including connected car, autonomous systems, and more.
Implementation Timeline
MVP Reality Check
In the first week, we analyze your specifications and cut scope by 70-80%. We identify the absolute core functionality needed to test your key hypothesis. Everything else goes on the 'after launch' list. You'll have a 2-page MVP definition instead of 47 pages.
3-5 days
Automotive Tech optimizedMake the Technical Decisions
We choose your tech stack, architecture, and infrastructure in 1-2 days based on your specific needs and team skills. No more endless debates. We use proven technologies that let you ship fast and iterate, not experimental ones that sound cool.
