About the startup

CTO-in-a-Box ships twenty-six battle-tested templates that codify the full scope of the chief technology officer role. Craig Hunt, a 20+ year fractional CTO who has stood up agile practices, QA functions, and cybersecurity posture in companies that started with none, drew every template from engagements where the work shipped at companies from 15-person startups to 350-person global engineering orgs. The templates span strategy, team operations, security, finance, product alignment, coding standards, AI coding tool governance, board-level communication, the 30/60/90-day new-CTO playbook, DevOps pipeline standardization, incident response, post-mortem framework, engineering metrics, and technical debt management. Built for the working CTO who needs frameworks rather than theory. Built for the fractional CTO who needs reusable assets across engagements. Built for the founder who hires a CTO and wants to know what the role covers in practice. Also listed on ProductHunt at https://www.producthunt.com/products/cto-in-a-box.
