Why Marshall Tech
Marshall Tech delivers senior technical leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, with the speed and accountability that agencies can't match. Every engagement is led by the same architect who scopes, builds, and ships. No handoffs, no juniors, no surprises.
Speed that compounds
Our 2-week diagnostic sprint is designed to create momentum, not just move fast. In two weeks you get a written technical audit, a prioritised roadmap, and a working prototype or fix for the most urgent issue. Most clients describe the diagnostic as “the most productive two weeks we've had with a technical partner.”

Deterministic AI, not hype
We don't sell AI as a magic solution. Every AI implementation includes structured output validation, confidence scoring, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and automated fallback to manual processes. If an AI system can't be audited, we don't deploy it. That's not conservatism. That's how you build AI your team actually trusts.
Rescue capability
Many clients come to us after a failed agency engagement, a departed CTO, or a platform that's become unmaintainable. We specialise in these situations: rapid assessment, triage, and stabilisation. Platform rescue is a common entry point, fixing broken workflows, data hygiene, and pipeline reporting within a 3-week sprint.
Frequently Asked Questions
You get a senior CTO-level technologist on a part-time or project basis. Typically 1–3 days per week, scaling up for critical phases. Same expertise, without the $400k salary and 6-month recruitment process.
Agencies sell senior expertise and deliver junior execution. At Marshall Tech, the senior architect who scopes the work is the same person who builds it. No handoff gaps, no learning-on-your-dime, no project manager relay.
Every engagement is structured in 2-week sprints. We re-prioritise at the end of each sprint based on what we've learned. If priorities shift, the next sprint reflects that. No change order bureaucracy.
We guarantee process: a diagnostic that identifies the highest-leverage changes, a clear roadmap with estimated ROI, and execution against measurable KPIs. We don't guarantee specific revenue outcomes because too many variables are outside our control.
