I actually do this with my own Fraction CTO pricing. I use tiers. The Advisor tier is essentially exactly what you describe. I join meetings and advise for up to 10 hours / month and then have an hourly rate after that. It's most appealing for companies who essentially want to make sure they aren't steering down a path that's going to lead to a lot of pain later on. CEO's who are looking to bounce ideas off of somebody to help refine them, etc. This is also month to month. The next tier is up to 30 hours / month with a slightly discounted hourly rate for more, minimum 2 months. The final is up to 70 hours / month with a greatly discounted hourly rate for more, minimum 3 months. I started doing this to set clear expectations with clients as well after having a client frustrated with me at the 10 hours / month rate when he wanted me to run his entire dev and operations team without going over the baseline hours. That wasn't clear until after I started and the engagement didn't last long. Clear expectations work much better and I really like the work that I do. I get to work with execs, product, devs, operations, support, QA. I get to put together a clear picture of what is working and what isn't. Map out potential solutions. Coach people at different levels on implementations without being disruptive. Mob with dev teams around performance or architectural needs. Teach technical people how to put things in terms that the non-technical folks they work with will understand. It's very rewarding work and the flexibility has been good for my family during our current phase of life.
