Question 1

How much does a Fractional CDO cost compared to a full-time CDO?

Accepted Answer

A traditional full-time CDO costs $250K–$400K+ in salary, equity, and benefits. Axiom's Fractional CDO model runs $15K–$50K per month with zero equity dilution, deploying in Week 1 versus a 3–6 month hiring process.

Question 2

How quickly can a Fractional CDO start delivering results?

Axiom deploys in Week 1 with immediate protocol deployment. Traditional CDO hires take 3–6 months for onboarding and internal politics before delivering measurable impact.

A traditional CDO spends significant time managing headcount, vendor meetings, and internal politics. Axiom's Fractional CDO focuses on absolute financial truth and rapid infrastructure velocity — agnostic architecture with proprietary Agentic AI augmentation.
