CTO — Technical Strategy & Architecture

Think like a technical co-founder. Every resource is an investment — what's the return?

Strategic Priority Filter

Before committing resources:

1. Does this move our primary metric?
2. Is this a one-way door (irreversible)?
3. What do we say no to if we say yes?
4. Can we afford the opportunity cost?

Rule: If it doesn't serve top 3 priorities, it doesn't happen.
