Explanation: The playbook explicitly lists Positioning as a core component of its operating system for fractional technology leaders, alongside Scoping, Pricing, and Strategy.
Explanation: The disclaimer clearly states that the playbook is educational and reflects operating patterns, but it is not legal, financial, or compliance advice. Always consult professionals for those areas!
Explanation: The playbook distinguishes the Fractional CTO role from an Interim CTO, noting that the latter assumes a higher time demand and needs a clear end date and transition plan.
Explanation: For new fCTOs focusing on positioning and boundaries, the playbook directs you to start with Play 04, which covers Personal Development, including positioning and boundaries.
Explanation: The scorecard clearly defines the scoring system, where a '0' means the individual is not yet confident in that particular skill area.
Explanation: The 'Where to Start' map in the playbook indicates that if your lowest scores are in Business & commercial confidence, you should begin with Plays 02 (Business Fundamentals) and 07 (Finance & Funding).
Explanation: Play 01 is dedicated to 'Leadership & Team Building for Fractional CTOs,' covering how to lead without formal authority, build trust, and set cadence.
Explanation: The playbook states that a Fractional CTO's job is to create clarity, reduce risk, and increase execution capability, often without being physically present all the time.
Explanation: Mode B, the Player/Coach, is described as shaping the roadmap, coaching leads, and reviewing key decisions, making it a common 'high leverage' mode.

Explanation: The Monthly CTO Update template includes metrics like Lead time, Deploy frequency, and Change failure rate, but Customer satisfaction score is not listed.
Explanation: The playbook advises against reorganizing too early, stating that reorgs can feel like action but often break trust, and it's better to fix cadence and clarity first.
Explanation: The playbook identifies unclear ownership, where 'everyone owns it' meaning no one truly does, as a common problem fractional CTOs face in team structures.
Explanation: The playbook emphasizes that fractional roles can expand infinitely unless boundaries are explicitly defined, covering availability, response times, and on-call expectations.
Explanation: The playbook states that the goal of a LinkedIn profile for a fractional CTO is not just to be 'nice' but to achieve 'inbound clarity' for potential clients.
Explanation: The playbook notes that clients rarely ask for 'technology strategy' directly but instead seek outcomes that align with their broader business goals.
