Engagement Models

How We Work Together

We offer four engagement structures designed to match different stages of an institution's transformation journey, from initial diagnosis to full program delivery.

Most Popular

Fractional CTO Retainer

Monthly retainer · 12-month minimum💳 Monthly billing

Ongoing strategic technology leadership on a flexible, defined-commitment basis. Includes strategy ownership, architecture governance, vendor management, and board-level reporting.

Best for: Financial institutions requiring sustained technology leadership without a full-time CTO.

Transformation Program (Fixed Scope)

4 to 24 months💳 Milestone-based billing

A defined-scope, time-bound program delivering a specific transformation outcome such as payments modernization, AI deployment, cybersecurity alignment, or a combination of these.

Best for: Institutions with a defined transformation objective and board-level mandate to execute.

Advisory & Due Diligence (Project-Based)

4 to 10 weeks💳 Fixed fee

Focused advisory engagements for specific decisions such as technology due diligence for M&A, vendor evaluation, architecture review, or regulatory preparation.

Best for: Institutions facing a specific decision that requires independent expert input.

Discovery Workshop

2 days💳 Fixed fee

A facilitated two-day workshop with your senior leadership team, culminating in a structured findings report covering technology posture, key risks, and prioritized transformation opportunities.

Best for: Organizations that need to build internal alignment before committing to a larger program.

Getting Started

Every engagement begins with a no-obligation Discovery Call, a 30-minute conversation with a senior AFRICOPIL principal. We listen, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
