Pricing
Flat monthly. Never a percentage of anything.
Same team and same standard at every level. What changes is how much we can work on at once, which is really a question of how fast you want the constraints to clear.
The range
$4,250 to $8,150
a month, flat.
Plus a $9,000 build if you want one. The rest of this page is what those numbers buy, starting with what counts as a fix, because that is the unit the tiers are counted in.
What counts as a fix
One scoped piece of work that makes your information better at getting captured, moved, or used.
Which one comes next is picked by the numbers rather than off a wish list. These are the shapes it usually takes. It isn't a menu, and it isn't the whole set.
| Shape | What that looks like in practice |
|---|---|
| An integration | Connect quoting to the ERP so quoted cost and actual cost land in the same place, and job margin stops being a guess. |
| A killed handoff | Stop someone retyping every closed order into three systems. Usually the first win, and it comes with an hours-per-week number attached. |
| A business rule | Define what a qualified lead or a won job actually means, then enforce it where the record is created, so the number means one thing to everybody. |
| Error-proofing | Validation at entry, so bad records stop being born instead of getting cleaned up later. |
| A decision-support build | A forecast model, exception reporting, or an alert the first time a job crosses its estimate rather than at month-end. |
| An AI placement | An agent on your quote intake that drafts from your last 200 quotes. Named job, named system, someone gets time back. |
| A process change | Move month-end off the export-and-stitch routine and onto the instrument. |
| A vendor swap | Replace a tool that became shelfware and migrate the data properly. Not a rip-out. A swap the numbers recommended. |
| An enablement sprint | One department, one system, until they can run it without us. |
| Something not on this list | Your business isn't a template. If the binding constraint needs work we haven't described here, that's still a fix, and we'll scope it the same way. |
A fix is a piece of work, not a month of it. Some finish in two weeks; a vendor swap might run three months and still be one fix the whole time.
Only the enablement sprint needs your people, so a month where your team is slammed still moves.
And we give time back before we ask for it. The reconciliation kill comes before anybody is asked to learn something new.
In every tier
What runs at every level, regardless of pace.
Underneath the fixes there's a standing function that never stops, and it's the part people underestimate. It isn't a fee for access. Stop it and the connections drift, the definitions rot, and the constraints you already paid to clear come back.
| What you get | What it does for you |
|---|---|
| We keep the connections true | Every new product, customer, employee and tool would otherwise quietly break something you rely on. We maintain the layer so the numbers stay right without anyone noticing they could have gone wrong. |
| A report you can decide from | The numbers that matter, reconciled, on a schedule. Not a dashboard you have to interpret and not a request you have to make. |
| A forecast against one target | One number everybody agrees on, and a clear read on whether you're pacing to it while there's still time to act. |
| A quarterly look at the whole map | We re-run the diagnosis together and name what's binding now. That's what decides the next fix, so the work never drifts into busywork. |
The Standing Order
Pick your pace.
A standing order is what a shop calls something that just keeps arriving without being re-ordered every time. Same team, same standard, every month. What you choose is how many fixes we can have going at once.
$8,150
per month
Three fixes at once
Weekly working review
For a long backlog, several departments, or a business that wants to be working the last constraint on the map inside a year rather than the first.
$6,350
per month
Two fixes at once
Bi-weekly working review
Where most engagements settle after the first 90 days.
$4,250
per month
One fix at a time
Monthly working review
Steady progress, and the standing function keeps running whether or not your team has time for us.
The commitment
Pick your pace for the quarter.
You commit a quarter at a time. Three months is roughly what it takes for a fix of any size to finish and for the change to show up in a number, so anything shorter would have us both guessing about whether it worked.
At the end of each quarter we sit down and re-run the diagnosis together. What cleared, what's binding now, and how much of it you want moving over the next three months. Then you set the pace for the quarter ahead.
Move up, move down, or stop. The decision gets made against the numbers in front of you, not against a renewal date.
Why it's priced this way
Priced to keep us on your side of the table.
How a firm gets paid decides what it recommends. Three things about the shape of this fee, and each one is a commitment you can hold us to.
It's flat, so we never earn more by making you spend more.
Not a percentage of your ad spend, not a percentage of your software bill, and no commission from any vendor we recommend. When we tell you a tool is fine and the problem is elsewhere, there's nothing in it for us either way. That's the point.
The rate per fix falls as you go up, and here's the actual reason.
More of our week sits on your business instead of being split across several. Less context to rebuild each time we come back, fewer half-finished threads, more of the hour in the work. That efficiency is real, and we'd rather it show up in your invoice than in ours.
We're paid for pace, so slow is expensive for us and not for you.
A firm billing by the hour earns more the longer a job takes. We don't. The tier you pick is a rate of progress, so every week a fix drags is a week we carry. And at the quarterly review you see what cleared before you decide whether to keep going.
Before either
The systems audit.
$1,200The Snapshot tells us what you believe. Getting into the systems tells us what's actually true, and those are frequently different.
You leave with a 90-day plan: what's binding, in what order, and what it takes to fix each one. Implement it yourself, or put us on it and the full $1,200 comes off the build.
Either way, the plan is yours.
Getting started
Two ways in. Neither one is a hoop.
The 90-day build.
$9,000We take the most pressing bottleneck and work it through, one thread at a time. Fixed price, fixed scope, and at the end you own a working instrument whether or not we keep going.
It costs less than three months of the lowest standing order because it does less at once. One thread, one scope, and a defined end.
Or open the standing order directly.
If you already know you want this running permanently, skip the project framing. You get the same day-90 guarantee, and you set the pace: at two or three fixes at once we clear more of the map in those same ninety days than the build does.
That is what the extra money buys. Not a different standard, more of it at once, and it doesn't stop on day 90.
Most people take the build, because most people want to see it work before they commit to something ongoing. If that's not you, don't let us slow you down.
The guarantee
You'll trust the numbers, and you'll get answers faster.
By day 90 the systems and numbers the 90-day plan named are connected, they reconcile, and the report ships. If they don't, we keep working until they do at no additional cost. The plan is agreed in writing before we start, and it is not a promise that every system in your building is connected by day 90.
And we measure the change rather than asserting it: how many of your own numbers you can produce and how long each takes, on day one and again on day 90.
Twenty-five minutes, five questions, nothing to prepare.
