Services & pricing

Every rate is on this page. No onboarding fee, no long-term contract, and no charge until after the free discovery call. Rates are per hour and follow the stage of the business, not the size of the project.

Billing questions, answered

How long is a session?
One hour by default, on Zoom or on-site. Longer working sessions and half-day workshops are available and are usually the better choice for planning, where an hour ends right as the real conversation starts.
When do I pay?
Never before the free discovery call. Single sessions are invoiced the day of. Blocks, retainers, and quarterly engagements are paid up front — that discount is what you're trading the commitment for. ACH, check, or card.
What's the cancellation policy?
Reschedule a session more than 24 hours ahead at no charge. Inside 24 hours, the hour is billed. Retainers can be cancelled with 30 days' notice, and any unused prepaid hours are refunded.
Do hours expire?
The Starter Block is good for 2 months, the Monthly Retainer rolls month to month, and the Quarterly Engagement runs 90 days. If a launch slips or life gets in the way, tell us and we'll extend it.
Which rate applies to my business?
The rate follows the stage of the business, not the size of the problem. Revenue is a rough guide — a $3M business with a five-person team is usually growth stage. We'll agree on it during the discovery call before anything is billed.
Is remote cheaper than on-site?
No — same rate, same prep, same hour. The only difference is that on-site visits add travel, which is billed at cost and agreed before anything is booked.

Not sure which stage you’re in?

That’s what the discovery call is for. Tell us about the business and the problem, and we’ll tell you the rate and whether we’re the right team for it.
