Common questions
What is StackUp?
StackUp is an independent assessment platform for your technology and AI function. There are six assessments: Core Technology, AI Maturity, Digital Governance, AI Leadership Skills, Project and Crisis Tabletop. Each gives you a score out of 100, a dashboard, a full report, a presentation deck and an action plan.
Who is StackUp for?
Founders, executives, boards and investors who need a clear view of technology and AI without relying on opinion. It suits organisations worth scaling and protecting, with $5m or more in revenue. Fractional CTOs and service providers also use it to assess their clients.
How long does it take?
You can start in minutes. Your score, benchmarks and action plan appear on the platform as soon as you finish an assessment. If you would rather have it done for you, the AI Leadership Sprint runs over four weeks with a senior CTO alongside your leadership team.
How much does StackUp cost?
You can get started free, with no credit card. The StackUp platform is US$250 per month, or US$2,500 per year. Done-for-you engagements are fixed price: the AI Leadership Sprint from US$20,000, a single-day consult for US$2,500 and an ongoing Fractional CTO for US$5,000 per month.
How is StackUp different from a consulting review?
A consulting review usually means a custom quote, weeks of meetings and a long report built around the areas the consultant knows best. StackUp has fixed, public pricing, covers every area of your technology function, shows the evidence behind each finding and turns the results into an action plan your team tracks through to done.
Is the score independent?
Yes. Every score is calculated by fixed rules from your answers and evidence, so the same answers always produce the same number. AI writes the narrative around the score, but it never changes the figure.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your answers, evidence and results stay private to your organisation and are not shared.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. You'll feel the value in one week, or it's free. If the StackUp platform does not give you clear, actionable insight within seven days of your first payment, tell us and we will refund it in full. The guarantee covers self-serve platform subscriptions.
