Services & pricing

Four ways to work with us. One clear path to start.

Every engagement begins with a two-week Operations & Opportunity Assessment. From there, most clients move into one of three managed tiers. Pricing is posted. Scope is defined. No mystery proposals.

Step one · For every engagement

Operations & Opportunity Assessment

$2,500 fixed · two weeks

Satisfaction guarantee: if you don't walk away with a clearer picture than you came in with, we refund it.

Start with an Assessment

Before we ask you to commit to anything monthly, we spend two weeks understanding the business — your workflows, your constraints, where the weight is, and what's actually worth doing next.

What you get

  • A structured operations diagnostic — where time, money, and attention are actually going.
  • A prioritized opportunity map ranking the moves most likely to create real value.
  • A proposed managed-services scope with specific playbooks, tier recommendation, and pricing.
  • A written debrief you can share with partners, investors, or your team — plain English, no buzzwords.

Who it's for

SMB owners and operators ($500K–$30M revenue) who want a clear next move before making a bigger commitment. It's also the fastest way to see whether we're the right fit for you — and whether managed services is the right shape of help.

Step two · Managed services

Three tiers. Pick the altitude.

Each tier is a defined set of managed functions we operate on an ongoing basis. Contracts start with a 12-month initial term, then go month-to-month. A 60-day-for-cause out clause keeps everyone honest.

Also available · Pre-revenue founders

Startup Launch Plan

$5,000 — $10,000 · or cash + SAFE

Four-week engagement. Deliverable-based, not hourly.

A working plan for founders building a new business or offering. We help shape the product, the positioning, and the operating model — including how new technology fits in without overwhelming the early team.

For pre-revenue founders, we'll consider a blended cash + SAFE structure so the engagement doesn't starve the business. When the startup has revenue, there's a discounted path into managed services if it makes sense for both sides.

Talk it through
Questions we hear often

Before you book a call.

Do we have to start with the Assessment?

Yes. Not because we're trying to tack on revenue — the Assessment is priced close to cost — but because we've never had a managed engagement go well when we skipped it. Two weeks of structured diagnostic saves six months of guessing.

What happens if we want to cancel the managed contract?

The initial term is 12 months, then month-to-month. Inside the initial term, there's a 60-day-for-cause out clause: if we miss defined SLAs or don't deliver against the scoped outcomes, you can exit without penalty. After month 12, 30-day notice is enough.

What counts as "a managed function"?

A defined scope of operational work we pick up and run end-to-end — not a project, not an hour-bucket. Examples: inbound lead qualification and routing; tier-1 support triage; meeting operations; SOP documentation; CRM hygiene. The full catalog is on the Playbooks page.

How much of this is "AI" versus people?

Both. We use modern tooling — including AI — wherever it legitimately makes the work faster, more consistent, or more affordable. But there are always people in the loop: reviewing, adjusting, and owning the client relationship. We don't sell automation as a replacement for judgment. We sell operations that actually run.

Do you work with businesses outside the US?

Today, we focus on US-based SMBs. Time zones, compliance frameworks, and the regulatory environment are simpler when we're on one continent. We may expand later.

Can we buy just the Assessment and stop there?

Absolutely. Plenty of owners use the Assessment to get a clearer picture and a roadmap they implement themselves. If you come back later for managed services, the Assessment fee is credited against your first month.
