Advisory calls

Start with a call.

One conversation to describe the operation and where it hurts. You will know what a diagnostic would cover and what it costs before anything else happens.

01

30 minutes, $150

The entry point. Describe the business, get an honest read on whether there is work worth doing.

02

60 minutes, $275

A deeper dive into the operation. Credited toward a diagnostic if you move forward.

03

Diagnostic, from $2,500

A fixed-fee walk of the operation as it really runs. Written findings, ranked by payback, plus the roadmap.

How the work gets done

The process runs itself.
The thinking does not.

Every engagement runs on the same backbone. The repetitive work, the digging, the paperwork, the checking, is handled by agentic workflows built for the task. What stays human is the part that matters: the read of the situation, the call on what to do, and the accountability for the result.

01

Research and diagnosis

Workflows gather the numbers, the documents, and the history before anyone sits down. You arrive ready to think, not to data entry.

02

Drafting and documents

Plans, summaries, and paperwork are drafted by the workflows and reviewed line by line by the principal before you ever see them.

03

Monitoring and follow-up

After the engagement, workflows keep watch on what was agreed and flag what needs attention, so nothing decided gets quietly dropped.

The terms

Quoted before work begins.
Paid only on acceptance.

One principal does the work. If our own checklist fails on delivery, the revision is free. That is the entire arrangement, and it has never needed fine print.
