Services

Five engagements, each answering one question.

Durations and figures below are typical starting points in United States dollars for the scope described. The fee in your written proposal is fixed and is what you pay.

Operations review

Typical duration

3 to 4 weeks

Typical starting point

from $1,900

A structured read of how work actually moves through your business: where it queues, where it is re-done, and which handoffs lose information. Delivered as a written findings document with a ranked list of changes, each with the effort it costs.

  • Process map of the two or three flows that carry the most volume
  • Queue and rework analysis with the numbers behind each claim
  • Ranked recommendations, separated into this quarter and later
  • A working session to hand over the findings

Go-to-market advisory

Typical duration

4 to 6 weeks

Typical starting point

from $2,400

For a business that has a product and no repeatable way to sell it. We work through positioning, the buyer, the channels worth testing, and what the first ninety days of evidence should look like before you commit budget.

  • Positioning statement written and tested against real objections
  • Channel shortlist with the cost and the signal each one gives
  • A ninety-day test plan with defined stopping rules
  • Weekly sessions across the engagement

Process documentation

Typical duration

2 to 5 weeks

Typical starting point

from $1,400

The unglamorous work of writing down how things are done, so the business stops depending on who happens to be available. Produces procedures your team can follow without you in the room.

  • Written procedures for the flows you nominate
  • A single index so people can find the right document
  • A review cycle so the documents do not go stale
  • Handover session with the people who will maintain them

Vendor and tooling selection

Typical duration

2 to 3 weeks

Typical starting point

from $1,100

An independent read on a software or supplier decision. We do not take referral fees from any vendor, which is the only thing that makes this service worth buying.

  • Requirements written from your workflow, not from a feature list
  • Shortlist with the trade-offs stated plainly
  • Reference questions to ask each vendor
  • A written recommendation you can show internally

Fractional operations support

Typical duration

Monthly, rolling

Typical starting point

from $980 / month

Ongoing availability for owners who need a second opinion regularly but do not need a full-time hire. A fixed block of hours each month, used for whatever is in front of you.

  • A set block of advisory hours each month
  • Written follow-up after every session
  • Async availability by email between sessions
  • Cancel with thirty days’ notice, no penalty

Scope

What is deliberately not included.

Implementation
Changes are made by your team, with support available through the retainer. Taking over a function turns advice into dependency.
Regulated advice
We do not provide legal, tax, accounting or regulated financial advice. Where a question needs a licensed professional, we say so and stop.
Vendor resale
We do not resell software or take commission on tools we recommend, in any engagement.
Named references
We do not publish client names or case studies, which means we cannot offer them as proof either.

Next step

A scoping call costs nothing and takes forty-five minutes.

If what you need is outside what we do, we say so in that call rather than writing a proposal for it.
