Both engagements are monthly and both are built for companies that already have people building the product. Choose the level of involvement your engineering organisation needs.
Continuous technical analysis and engineering visibility.
Suitable for companies that already have an engineering team but need experienced technical oversight around what is being built, how it is being built, and how the system is performing.
Evaluate important features before and during development. Mentorly assesses the technical implications of taking a feature from validation to production scale; market research stays with you.
Evaluate third-party services and technical dependencies: payments, authentication, messaging, AI providers, analytics, storage, CRM and infrastructure.
Continuous evaluation of how the production system behaves, and what it is telling you.
Make sure the business and product metrics you rely on can actually be trusted.
Up to 5 technical interviews per month, with Mentorly assisting on the technical side of hiring.
Analysis of engineering effectiveness against technical priorities. This is about how the organisation delivers, not surveillance of individuals.
Technical Oversight with active engineering operations and direction.
Suitable for companies that want Mentorly involved in how engineering work is structured, sequenced and released, not only in how it is evaluated.
Everything in Technical Oversight, plus:
Product priorities remain with the company. Mentorly manages the technical execution structure around them.
Mentorly manages the lifecycle of changes from ready-to-merge to deployed. Continuous line-by-line code review is not part of this package.
PR management, not line-by-line PR review.
Direction and follow-through on the engineering foundations the team works inside every day.
