Frequently asked questions

What does a Fractional CTO based in Japan typically cost?

Day rates vary by seniority, sector, and the size of the business engaging them, but most Japan-based fractional CTOs price engagements on a monthly retainer covering an agreed number of days per week. The directory profiles set out each CTO's typical engagement model and availability.

How is a Fractional CTO different from a consultant or interim CTO?

A fractional CTO works as part of your leadership team on an ongoing basis — typically one to three days a week — rather than delivering a fixed project (consultant) or covering a single full-time gap (interim). They provide continuity of technical leadership, board reporting, and team mentoring across an extended engagement.

Can a Fractional CTO based in Japan work with a remote team?

Yes. Most fractional CTOs in Japan are used to working with distributed engineering teams and stakeholders across timezones. Engagement scoping conversations typically cover whether on-site presence is required and, if so, with what cadence.
