FAQ

Will I really get value in 55 minutes?

If I can't help in the first 5 minutes, I'll say so and refund the call. The materials you send beforehand do most of the work.

Are you trying to sell me a particular tool or vendor?

No. I don't take vendor referral fees and I have no quota to hit. The advice is whatever fits your situation — including "you don't need this."

What should I send before the call?

Whatever's relevant — architecture diagram, AWS bill or AI usage breakdown, your current stack, a project link. More context up front means sharper answers in 55 minutes.

Reschedule or cancel?

Free, up to 24 hours before the call.
