Second Opinion · $2,500 / mo

Every vendor has an opinion. Get one from someone on your side.

Second Opinion is a monthly call with a senior engineer before you make a technology decision: AI, software, security, who owns your data. We tell you plainly what each choice costs. It is advice only. We don't sell you software or a build, so the advice has no angle.

Who we are

A small senior engineering studio.

Miracle Mind designs, builds and runs the software a business operates on: website, payments, customer records, team tools and AI. Everything is set up in the client's own name and accounts, so the business owns it outright.

Founded by Matthew Miceli, a robotics engineer (MS, Boston University) who has served as CTO and lead developer for retreat centers, franchises and nonprofits.

The problem

You're making technology decisions alone.

  • Three vendors pitched you AI this quarter and you can't tell which one is real.
  • You signed a software contract and only later found out who owns the data.
  • Your developer is good, but nobody senior checks the plan.
  • You want a roadmap you understand, not a deck you nod at.

The offer

What a month of Second Opinion includes.

Included

  • One 90-minute strategy call a month, at a time we agree.
  • Email between calls, with replies within two business days.
  • Up to two vendor or contract reviews a month.
  • A short monthly briefing on the AI changes that matter to you.
  • A one-page summary of decisions after each call.

Not included

  • Building or changing anything. That's Lead Developer.
  • Weekly calls or same-day answers.
  • The Blueprint, our written, priced plan. It comes from a two-week Audit, or with Lead Developer or Fractional CTO.
  • Owning your vendors and security. That's Fractional CTO.

Where it fits

One of three paths out of the Audit.

Second Opinion is Path A, Advise: we sit on your team as advisor, and your team does the rest. Path B is a system we build and you own, with monthly Care. Path C, Lead Developer or Fractional CTO, puts us on your team for the long run. Advice can grow into either.

Price and terms

$2,500 a month, paid in advance.

A three-month initial term, then month to month. After the first three months, either side can end it with 30 days' written notice. You can move up a level at the start of any month.

Had an Audit in the last 30 days? Its full $2,500 comes off your first month's invoice.

Proof

A client, in his own words.

Retreat center and venue

AWKN Ranch & Within Center

Bookings, invoices, contracts, pricing and taxes run in one system across two properties. Every guest price lives in one place and both public sites read it, and the staff run the system by talking to an AI assistant that asks before it changes a price or sends an email.

I'm not sure how to even begin writing this. MiracleMind built the entire operating system for our 12-acre wellness ranch and retreat center. We were able to remove all the annoying software we'd been juggling and integrate our whole business into one system. The result is the most efficient flow, connectivity, and visibility we've ever had. It rearranged how we operate and made everything energetically cohesive. It's been truly transformational, for the business and for our own nervous systems. If you want to build your business to the next level, I highly recommend working with MiracleMind.

This is for you if

  • You'd rather decide than delegate, and want to decide well.
  • Technology is now a line on your P&L you can't ignore.
  • You want one trusted voice across every vendor.

It's not for you if

  • You want someone to write code this month (see Lead Developer).
  • You want a report and never to talk about it again.
  • You need a full-time hire.

Questions

Straight answers.

Why a three-month start?
The first month is mostly learning your business. Advice gets valuable in months two and three, once the context is there.
Do you also build what you recommend?
Only if you ask, as a separately quoted project or as Lead Developer. Second Opinion never includes a build, so the advice isn't steering you toward one.
Who will I actually talk to?
A senior engineer, every time. Not an account manager, and not a junior analyst reading from notes.
What if we need more than one call a month?
Move up to Lead Developer or Fractional CTO at the start of any month. Nothing is billed by surprise.
