Options + the call
You get a one-page memo: options, tradeoffs, recommendation, and why. Ready to act.
What's in a memo
One page. Four parts that matter.
Tradeoffs
What each path costs you in time, risk, focus, and money. Named plainly.
Recommendation
One pick. Not “it depends.” The call we’d make in your seat, given what you told us.
Why
The reasoning behind the call — so you can defend it, adapt it, or push back with eyes open.
Sample
What a memo looks like
Fictional example — labeled as such. Not a testimonial.
Should we hire a second engineer or keep contracting?
Options
- Hire full-time eng #2 — own roadmap velocity; ~3–4 months to productive.
- Keep a senior contractor — flexible capacity; higher hourly, weaker ownership.
- Hybrid — hire junior FT + keep contractor 10 hrs/week for hard problems.
Tradeoffs
- FT hire: lower unit cost over 12 months, but recruiting drag and fixed burn.
- Contractor-only: ships now, but knowledge stays rented and context resets every sprint.
- Hybrid: best coverage short-term; most process overhead and two people to manage.
The call
Hire the full-time engineer. Your constraints (12-month product bet, one founder already maxed on code review) favor ownership over flexibility. Start recruiting this week; keep the contractor through the first month of the hire’s onboarding, then cut contractor hours to zero.
Why
You’re past “prove the idea” and into “compound the codebase.” Contracting optimized for uncertainty you no longer have. A second FT eng pays for itself if they stick 9+ months — and your runway supports that bet. Hybrid looks balanced but splits attention when you can least afford it.
