Company-stage decision library
The CTO mandate changes as the company moves from proving a problem to building repeatable delivery and operating at portfolio scale. These guides separate the decisions, evidence, capacity, and transition that matter at each stage.
Frame the mandateEvery page in this library is independently authored and reviewed. We do not generate role × stage × industry or problem × city permutations. A page enters the index only when it owns a distinct decision and can support a useful next action.
Choose the decision that matches the company’s current evidence—not a generic maturity label.
