Budget cycles and procurement rules shape how organizations hire. Interim and fractional executives are well understood here, particularly in agencies, nonprofits, and government suppliers.

- CEO is drowning in cross-functional coordination
- Weekly business review, OKRs, and exec cadence need an owner
- A big program (rebrand, replatform, expansion) needs a driver
