01 — Challenge
The problem
Adapt Health was growing rapidly but lacked senior technical leadership. They had ambitious product roadmap goals including AI-powered patient workflows and automated administrative processes, but no clear technical strategy or architecture. The development team needed direction, and the business needed someone who could translate product vision into technical execution.
02 — Approach
The decision
Marshall Tech embedded as fractional CTO on a 2-day per week basis. We provided strategic technical direction, reviewed architecture decisions, mentored the development team, and hands-on built the AI and automation features. This gave the business senior technical leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, with immediate delivery of high-value features.
