HOW I WORK

Nothing is sold before the

problem is named

Three engagements, in sequence, and each one earns the next. A complimentary conversation to

name the problem. A fixed-fee diagnostic to map it. A partnership that corrects it, built to end.

1 The Founder Conversation

Complimentary • 30 minutes

Thirty minutes about where execution still runs through you,

and an honest answer, either way, on whether I can help.

WHAT IT IS

A private working conversation. No slides, no pitch. I listen for which of the seven operating failure patterns is present in your business and tell you plainly whether this is a fit for both of us. Half the value of this call is a founder hearing their own operating problem named accurately for the first time.

TIMELINE

Thirty minutes, scheduled within one week of request.

Request a Conversation

No slides, no pitch, and an honest answer either way.

THIS CONVERSATION IS FOR YOU IF

You founded, and still run, a bootstrapped or founder-controlled B2B software company.

Revenue is roughly $8M to $30M, with a team that is lean by design.

Your leadership team discusses, but decisions keep landing back on your desk.

Priorities stall between meetings, and growth is exposing cracks in how the company operates.

WHAT YOU GET

A candid read of your situation against the seven operating failure patterns.

An honest answer on fit, including "no, and here's who to talk to instead."

A short follow-up note summarizing what I heard and what I'd examine first.

It is not for companies looking for a project manager, a part-time employee, or a deck. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so in the first call and point you somewhere better.

2 The Operating Diagnostic

$8,500 fixed • 3 weeks

Find out exactly why execution keeps coming back to you. Findings in plain language, and a corrective plan you own outright.

WHAT IT IS

A structured examination of your business across seven operating domains: strategic alignment, decision-making friction, signal integrity and visibility, cross-functional alignment, capacity and commitment, executive leverage, and organizational design.

It is conducted through direct work, not surveys or templates: founder intake, confidential leadership interviews, and review of your real operating artifacts, including dashboards, roadmaps, and meeting cadences. You get the truth about where organizational energy is being wasted and a sequenced plan to correct it.

TIMELINE

Readout within three weeks of intake.

Week One: Intake and interviews.
Week Two: Analysis and artifact review.
Week Three: Written findings and readout.

The clock starts when the founder intake is complete and every leadership interview is on the calendar, so the promise never absorbs scheduling delays.

Credited in Full. The $8,500 fee is credited toward a retained engagement signed within ninety days of the readout. Continue working together, and the Diagnostic costs you nothing. The ninety-day window is firm.

Every Diagnostic begins with the Founder Conversation.

THE DIAGNOSTIC IS

FOR FOUNDERS WHO

Know the feeling: everything depends on you, every important decision finds its way back to you, and growth feels held together with duct tape.

See the symptoms: leadership agrees on priorities but weeks later little has moved, initiatives launch with enthusiasm and then stall, and your time goes to chasing follow-through.

Run founder-led software companies that have grown past what one person can hold together, and want root causes named before committing money to fix them.

WHAT YOU GET

A written findings report scoring all seven domains, with a dollar estimate of what your most expensive breakdowns are costing you.

A corrective roadmap, sequenced by impact and dependency: what to fix first, and who should own it.

A private 90-minute readout with you alone.

A straight recommendation: what your team can fix internally, and where outside help is warranted.

The report and plan are yours to act on, with me or without me.

It is not for founders looking for validation. The findings are direct. That is the point of paying for them.

3 The Operating Partnership

$10,000 / month • 6 months

The plan is written. Now someone has to make it hold.

WHAT IT IS

A hands-on fractional Chief of Staff engagement. I work inside your company, with time scaled to what the roadmap needs each month, executing the corrective roadmap: installing decision rights, operating cadence, reporting your leadership can trust, and the portfolio discipline the Diagnostic showed was missing. Issues that surface within the seven operating domains are folded into the plan: genuinely new bodies of work are logged in the monthly review and scoped separately. The engagement is built to end: the goal is a company that runs without me, and without running through you.

TIMELINE

Six months, time scaled to what the roadmap needs each month.

Month One: Sequencing and standing up the fastest corrections.
Months Two through Five: Systematic implementation.
Month Six: Transition and handoff.

Your Diagnostic Pays for Month One. The $8,500 fee is credited in full against the first invoice when the Partnership is signed within ninety days of the readout.

Request a Conversation

Every Partnership begins with the Operating Diagnostic.

THE PARTNERSHIP IS

FOR FOUNDERS WHO

Have completed the Operating Diagnostic and accepted what it found.

Are ready to change how the company operates, not commission another study of it.

Will give an outside operator real access: to the leadership team, the operating reviews, and the decisions.

WHAT YOU GET

An operator embedded in the business, on site or remote as the work requires, one day per week for six months.

Execution of the full corrective roadmap from your Diagnostic.

An installed operating cadence: weekly execution rhythm, monthly business review, quarterly planning.

A decision-rights and escalation framework that takes routine decisions off your desk permanently.

Standardized reporting with measurable status criteria. No more subjective green.

A monthly written progress review against your Diagnostic baseline.

Counsel between sessions on operating matters as they arise.

A transition plan in the final month, so the gains hold after I leave.

It is not for companies that want a report presented and shelved, or a body in a seat. Engagements conclude with an optional continuity arrangement through the Executive Office.
