I think that because that's exactly what I was discussing and doing with multiple companies.
The only reason I never got into serious compensation talks is that I was just testing out the waters to see if my contacts could help me find interesting work.
I did actually do some small and limited architectural design projects / tech leadership projects (think 40 hour total project time over several weeks) and I was able to get a rather high rate for that.
I'm not sure why people are saying contract leadership isn't a thing. My day job routinely hires temporary contract leadership for things outside our wheelhouse. The people we contract are people who would never work at our company because it's beneath them, but they're willing to take some short highly paid contracting jobs.
