Trigger 01
“Our CI has too many retries.”
This usually needs signal health diagnosis before the client adds more tests or more QA capacity.
For fractional CTOs, DevOps consultancies, agencies, and VC operators
Refer release-confidence problems before they become another failed QA hire.
Your clients already mention flaky CI, slow regression, Playwright migration, weak PR gates, or SDET hiring uncertainty. I provide focused diagnosis and recovery without turning your firm into a QA staffing vendor.
Referral triggers
Send the problem when the buyer says one of these things.
Trigger 02
“We are hiring another SDET because tests keep breaking.”
The right first move is often a fix-vs-hire diagnosis: headcount helps only after the system bottleneck is clear.
Trigger 03
“We want to migrate Selenium/Cypress to Playwright.”
Migration should start with architecture and release-risk review, not automatic tool replacement.
