Senior technical judgement, without a full-time hire.
Fractional technical leadership gives a business access to a senior engineer for the decisions that matter, without hiring a full-time CTO. Leemer Group helps founders and managers choose architecture and vendors, plan builds, hire engineers and adopt AI tools with sensible review habits.
Fractional technical leadership
Senior technical judgement without a full-time hire: architecture, vendor choices, hiring help and a plan your team can follow.
What decisions do you help with?
What to build and what to buy, which vendors or agencies to trust, how systems should fit together, how to plan and budget a build, and how to judge whether a technical proposal is sound.
Can you help us hire engineers?
Yes. We help write the role, design a practical interview and review candidates’ technical work, so you can hire with confidence even without an engineer on staff.
Can you help our team adopt AI and coding agents?
Yes. We set up tools, guidelines and review habits so agents speed up work without hiding mistakes, drawing on how the group builds Critique.

How an engagement works.
- 01
Brief
A conversation about the problem, the people affected and what a good result looks like. You can draft the idea first in Build Brief.
- 02
Scope
A written scope: what we will build or test, what we will not, and how we will agree it is done.
- 03
Build
Focused work in short cycles. You see working software or evidence early, not a reveal at the end.
- 04
Handover
Code, documents and the reasoning behind decisions, in a form your team can run, change and own.
Questions, answered.
How is this different from consulting?
- It is ongoing and hands-on. The aim is good decisions over time, written down so your team can follow and question them.
Can you help with funding applications?
- We can write the technical scope and plan that grant and funding applications ask for. Eligibility is decided by the funding body.
How do we start?
- Use the contact page. It opens an email draft with this service selected, which you review and send yourself. No form collects your message on our side.
