Stalled projects, moving again. Senior architecture leadership, available fractionally, for systems integrators, composable vendors, and mid-market brands. Remote delivery, vendor neutral, and priced in the open.
Composable and AI builds stall in the same place. Not the demo. The gap between something that works in a demo and a system your organization can actually run. The team is capable. The architecture calls are not getting made fast enough, and every week the wrong one compounds.
Fidget Labs supplies the senior architecture that closes that gap. Embedded when you need someone making the calls. Fixed scope when you need a diagnosis, or your team brought up to speed.
Trimble. A stalled engagement re-ignited into seven figures of new scope.
Two decades of enterprise delivery behind the practice. Former Senior Technical Director for MACH and composable technologies, with delivery for AstraZeneca, Corteva, Trimble, REI, US Foods, Konica Minolta, and NVA.
Delivery Lead for the MACH AI Exchange, under contract with the MACH Alliance Tech Office. That contract keeps the work vendor neutral. No platform pays us to reach a conclusion, so the recommendation you get is the one your build needs.
GSI. A user-journey model used across 26 RFPs. €22M won at a 77% close rate.
No discovery-call pricing theater. The number is on the page, and the scope is tight enough to mean something.
€1,250 / day
Embedded architecture leadership, part time. We join your delivery team, sit in your standups, and make the calls that unblock the build.

Month to month. 30-day notice. Remote. Net 30.

The same architecture gap looks different depending on your seat. Start from yours.
You are short a senior MACH architect on a live delivery, and the hiring cycle is longer than the client's patience. The Fractional Solution Architect embeds with your team on a day rate, month to month.
Fractional Solution ArchitectA customer build on your platform is at risk, or a partner team needs senior architecture support your solutions engineers cannot spare. The Architecture Review diagnoses the build. The Fractional Architect stays to fix it.
Architecture ReviewYour composable or AI build has stalled, or your engineering team is making architecture calls without a shared playbook. Start with the Architecture Review for a diagnosis, or the Enablement Day to level the team up.
