What we cover

Four things, in 30 minutes

Before the call I read your assessment results and any context you send. The 30 minutes are spent on diagnosis, not preamble.

01

Your operating constraint

Where is your business actually breaking? Capacity, channel, positioning, leverage, financial visibility? We name it precisely.

02

The honest size of the gap

How far you are from the operating layer your stage needs. Sometimes the gap is smaller than you think. Sometimes it's bigger.

03

The right unlock

Which two or three moves close the gap fastest. Specific. Sequenced. The cost (in hours and dollars) of each one.

04

Whether you need outside help

Sometimes the answer is "run this yourself, here's how." Sometimes it's "this benefits from an embedded operator." I tell you straight, with the reasoning.

Three paths we might land on

What comes after the call

By the end of 30 minutes, we'll usually land on one of three paths. None of them require a decision on the call.

01

Run the sprint solo

Free

You download the relevant free guide, run the 14-day plan in it, repeat the cycle for the next 6 to 12 months. Hire one operator who's worked at your stage to support execution. Works for the right person. Slower, harder, cheaper.

02

The 90-Day Operating Audit

$2,500 flat · one-time

We map every function in your business, identify the three highest-leverage moves, and build the install plan together. Two strategy calls plus a 15 to 20 page written audit. Most operators leave with a 90-day plan that's clearer than anything they've done internally. The typical front door into the fractional work.

03

Fractional COO engagement

From $5,000/mo · multi-month retainer

Me embedded in your business as a fractional COO. Multiple tiers depending on how embedded you want me. SOPs, KPI dashboards, hiring scorecards, financial cadence, capacity planning. The whole operating stack installed in three to six months, then you run it.

Who this is for, who it isn't

The call is most useful if

Good fit

You run a business in the $300k to $5M+ annual revenue range. You're either stuck, scaling fast, or trying to figure out which one. You're past the "should I build it" question and you know operating systems are the next problem to solve.

Not the right fit yet

You're pre-revenue or under $100k in annual revenue. The work you need is foundational (business model, customer, pricing), not operating-layer. Grab the Foundation Builder Field Guide instead and come back when you're consistently at $300k+.
