Model Info
How do I know which service tier is the right fit for my current business stage?

Choosing the right level of leadership depends on your team's size, budget, and urgency.

If you need active leadership, hands-on execution, and full team management, the Engaged tier is built for you.

If your team is currently "stuck" and needs a concrete roadmap before committing to long-term help, the Half-Day Strategy Session provides that immediate clarity.

The Advisor tier is best for alumni clients who already have stable operations but want long-term strategic oversight and risk management.

What is the difference in time commitment between these three options?

Each tier is designed for a different level of momentum:

  • Engaged: Requires a 3-month minimum commitment to allow for high-octane stabilization and delivery
  • Advisor: Requires a 6-month commitment to ensure long-term strategic continuity.
  • Strategize: This is a one-time, 4-hour intensive engagement designed for rapid roadmap creation.
How does the level of team management change across the tiers?

Your level of delegation increases with the higher tiers:

  • In the Engaged model, I have full authority to hire, train, evaluate, and even fire vendors, employees, and contractors.

  • In the Advisor model, my role shifts to providing mentorship and guidance to your existing technical leads rather than direct management.

  • For the Strategize session, there is no ongoing team management included, as the focus is purely on strategic planning.

     

Model Info
What are the different meeting cadences for each service?

I integrate into your company at varying depths depending on the tier:

  • Engaged: We maintain a high-velocity rhythm with daily stand-ups, weekly sprint reviews, and quarterly planning.
  • Advisor: We meet for twice-monthly sprint planning and quarterly strategy sessions, supplemented by unlimited email support.
  • Strategize: This is a single, focused 4-hour intensive session.
What specific deliverables will I receive from each engagement?

Each tier produces different strategic assets to move your business forward:

  • Engaged: You receive the Functional Technology® Systems Map, defined KPIs, and daily execution of your roadmap.
  • Strategize: You get an immediate technical punch list, a blindspot analysis, and a 6-month technology campaign plan.
  • Advisor: You gain access to our library of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and maintain long-term strategic continuity.
Are there any prerequisites I need to meet before hiring you?

The Engaged and Strategize options have no prerequisites and are open to any qualified company looking for immediate technical leadership.

However, to ensure I have the necessary deep context to provide effective guidance, the Advisor tier is only available to clients who have already completed at least one 90-day Engaged sprint or a Half-Day Strategy Session.
