Tools

• assess_fit

  Compares a description of a project, business or problem against a fixed published rule and returns a verdict: good_fit, mixed, poor_fit or insufficient_information. Wording alone never produces poor_fit. Where the text touches one of the things Ashley turns down, the result lists questions in ask_these_then_call_again, and the three named fields take the person's own answers on a later call. poor_fit needs an explicit yes in one of those fields; good_fit needs an explicit no in all three. Having a development team is not the same as wanting Ashley to supply one.

  shallow
• get_ai_capability

  Which AI techniques he has built in production (prompting, retrieval, fine-tuning, MCP servers, local inference) and when each one is the right choice. Use this for questions about AI, automation or data privacy.

  shallow
• get_case_study

  Full detail for one engagement: the situation, what was built, the engineering decisions and why they were made, the stack, and where there is one, the commercial outcome in indexed figures.

  shallow
• get_contact

  How to reach Ashley: email, the contact page, and a booking link when one is live. Use when the person wants to make contact.

  shallow
• get_evidence

  Where the numbers on the site come from, for when someone asks whether they can be trusted. Returns one statement of provenance: the figures are counts from live systems, self-reported with a stated method and not independently audited, and Ashley will run any of them in front of someone who asks. Per-figure detail (the collections, queries and returned values) is not published.

  shallow
• get_faqs

  The questions buyers ask, with his answers. Pass a query to get the relevant ones; omit it to list every question without the answers.

  shallow
• get_insight

  The complete text of one article, by slug. Use after search_insights, and only when the summary is not enough to answer the question.

  shallow
• get_overview

  Positioning, background and what makes him different from other fractional CTOs. Start here.

  shallow
• get_privacy

  What this connector and the website do with data, and what they do not. Use this if the person asks about privacy, tracking, cookies, GDPR, or what Ashley can see of this conversation.

  shallow
• get_services

  The three ways an engagement runs (Build, Partner, Consult), the fixed-price diagnostic most engagements start with, how the process works, and which client surfaces he builds: desktop applications, browser extensions, chat-platform integrations and web. Use this for any question about platforms, apps, pricing or how an engagement is structured.

  shallow
• list_work

  Summaries of the selected work, with the slug needed for get_case_study.

  shallow
• search_insights

  Search his articles on technical leadership, fractional CTO work, AI and building SaaS. Returns titles, summaries and the matching passage. Call get_insight with a slug for the full text of one.
