No. 1

Three ways to engage.

Three structures: diagnostic, partnership, advisory. We scope each engagement on the call against scope, stage, and standing. No retail menu and no public price list.

i.

Execution Diagnostic

A short engagement to surface where ops is leaking velocity.

Two to four weeks embedded with product/ops leadership. We surface the operational debts that quietly compound across process, data, decision routing, and ownership, and write them up in a brief that survives the engagement.

ii.

Embedded Partnership

A multi-quarter operating partnership alongside the founder or CPO.

A sustained engagement where we run product ops next to the team, install the operating cadence, and stay until the operating system is durable enough to keep going without us.

iii.

Advisory Retainer

A standing seat across the operator's quarter. The least time-intensive engagement; the highest-trust one.

A monthly cadence inside the founder's biggest decisions: hires, restructures, market moves, the calls that don't fit a memo.
