Engagement Models

Three ways to work with us.

Pick the cadence that fits your stage. Most clients evolve from project work to fractional support over time.

Fixed-fee pricing
Documented handoff

Fractional Retainer

Ongoing senior support — a defined number of hours per month, recurring deliverables, and a partner on call when decisions arise.

Monthly engagement
Defined scope & cadence
Senior partner access

Advisory

Senior expertise on speed-dial, billed by the hour or block. Best when you have an in-house team but want a sounding board.

Hourly or block packages
Same-week response
No long-term commitment

FAQ

Common questions.

You get senior expertise without the full-time salary, benefits, equity, or long onboarding ramp. For most $1M–$25M businesses, fractional gets you 80% of the value at 20–30% of the cost — and you can scale the relationship up or down as your needs change.

Yes. We work with clients across the U.S. — most engagements run remotely with periodic on-site visits when it adds value. Our economic-impact work has additional jurisdictional considerations we'll walk you through on the discovery call.

Project work generally ranges from $5K–$40K depending on scope. Fractional retainers typically start at $2,500/month. Economic-impact studies are quoted individually based on geography and complexity. Every engagement is fixed-fee — no surprise invoicing.

From discovery call to kickoff, most engagements start within 2–3 weeks. Urgent project work can move faster when scope is well-defined.

We'll tell you. Where we can't help directly, we usually know someone who can — and we're happy to make the introduction. We'd rather lose a project than oversell.
