We offer a clear progression of services designed to de-risk your investment:

  • Quick Win Session ($500-$750) - 90-minute focused problem-solving session on one specific challenge. $500 credits toward a future audit.
  • Operations Audit ($3,000-$5,000) - We diagnose your operations, quantify opportunities in dollars, and deliver a prioritized roadmap. Full fee credits toward implementation.
  • Implementation ($15,000-$35,000) - We build the dashboards and/or automations identified in the audit. Fixed price, milestone payments.
  • Retainer ($2,000-$5,000/month) - Ongoing support, optimization, and new builds.

Most clients start with an Operations Audit. We diagnose the situation, quantify the opportunity, and give you a clear roadmap before you commit to a larger project.

We're transparent about pricing. Here's the full breakdown:

  • Quick Win Session: $500-$750 (90 minutes + action plan)
  • Operations Audit: $3,000-$5,000 (2-3 weeks)
  • Implementation Projects: $15,000-$35,000 (60-90 days)
  • Ongoing Retainers: $2,000-$5,000/month

Key: If you proceed from Quick Win to Audit, the $500 credits. If you proceed from Audit to Implementation, the full audit fee credits. You never "pay twice" to move forward.

The initial consultation is free, and we'll give you a specific estimate based on your situation, not a vague range.
