Bridging Code and Capital

Translates engineering reality into the financial vocabulary of CFOs, boards, and investors
 
Written by a fractional CTO and technical due diligence expert who has spent nearly twenty years observing hundreds of technical leaders and investors around the table
 
A concrete thinking framework
 
WHY?
 
 
Growth at all costs is over; engineering leaders who cannot justify their decisions economically lose budget and autonomy
 
Fills the gap between technical books and abstract management books with concrete formulas, metrics, and benchmarks
 
The framework applies wherever software creates value
 
 
WHAT?
 
 
A coherent framework for understanding the "hidden costs" of software: bugs, poor hires, technical debt, building the wrong product, premature optimization, outsourcing, and rewrites
 
Includes relatable situations, progressive formula, research-backed insights, and concrete "talk tracks" for difficult conversations
 
Practical tools to explain in budget discussions why a €50,000 investment in tooling can generate €200,000 in returns
 
 
WHO?
 
 
CTOs, VPs of Engineering, engineering managers, and technical leads
 
CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and investors/VCs
 
Senior software engineers and tech leads
