// Service catalog
Every engagement starts with a diagnosis and ends with a deliverable. One gateway engagement, four specialist services — each delivered AI-first, as a clearly scoped project or a fixed-fee retainer.
Tech Level UP!
The fixed-fee, two-week diagnostic that precedes all service delivery. Current-state assessment → gap analysis → prioritized roadmap → 90-day action plan.
01 — Cloud Foundation
End-to-end cloud architecture, migration, and optimization — the full journey from current-state infrastructure to a production-ready, cost-optimized cloud environment.
// What's included
// Best for
Teams moving off ad-hoc or on-premise infrastructure · companies with a stalled or unplanned migration · companies that lifted-and-shifted but never optimized.
02 — AI Studio
The studio is where experimentation begins. A simple structure around your experiments builds understanding — and gradual progress from first use case to AI running in your business.
// What's included
// Best for
Companies that explored AI but deployed nothing · pilots that never reached production · teams that want AI in specific workflows — customer service, document processing, internal search.
03 — AI & Automation
Repetitive, deterministic, information-based processes are the strongest automation candidates — and the best place to learn AI while you build. We map your operations, score the opportunities, and ship the automation in record time.
// What's included
// Best for
Operations teams buried in manual handoffs · data moving between systems via copy-paste or spreadsheets · companies trying to scale without proportionally scaling headcount.
04 — Fractional CTO
Every company needs effective IT leadership — not every company can justify the hire. We become your technology partner: embedded in leadership decisions, vendor relationships, and the roadmap, in the shape the moment requires.
Embedded technology partnershipMode A — Advisory
Monthly retainer · 3-mo minimum
Strategic IT leadership on a recurring basis — a technology voice in leadership decisions without the volume for a full-time hire.
Mode B — Initiative
Project-based · Scoped per initiative
Full ownership of a defined, time-bound initiative — ERP evaluation, migration program, platform consolidation, security overhaul. Technical program lead, not just an advisor.
Mode C — Stabilization
3-mo minimum · Renewable
Deployed when IT leadership departs unexpectedly or a crisis hits. Fast mobilization, rapid assessment, team stabilization, and a clean transition plan.
// The Monarca difference
Unlike a traditional firm that hands off a deck, our Fractional CTO is embedded — attending leadership meetings, owning vendor relationships, making real decisions. An operating role with a consulting structure.
// Pricing
Every engagement is priced to company size, complexity, and geography. Tech Level UP! is always fixed-fee and clearly defined upfront. Service engagements run as clearly scoped projects or fixed-fee retainers — whichever fits the work.
What you approve is what you pay — and AI-first delivery keeps engagements short, not open-ended.
