BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Before You Choose an Engagement.

Is the Working Session a Sales Call?

No. It is 60 minutes of paid consulting on a focused business question. We can clarify fit and logistics before booking. Research, detailed modeling, and implementation need a separate scope.

Can the Session Count Toward a Framework or Blueprint?

Yes. Apply one $175 working-session fee toward one Idea → Framework or Startup Blueprint engagement purchased within 30 days of the session. One credit per company, used once, with no stacking or cash value. Monthly retainers and implementation projects are excluded.

What Does Ongoing Founder Support Cover?

Partner and Partner+ provide scheduled advisory sessions and limited written questions and document reviews. You get help weighing options, reviewing plans, and deciding what to do next; you carry out the work. Work requiring configuration, project management, or ongoing operating ownership belongs in a build or fractional engagement.

How Does Fractional Leadership Differ from Advisory?

Fractional leadership includes an agreed operating remit, authority, meetings, team coordination, and responsibility for follow-through. Capacity is explicitly reserved and includes all preparation and delivery work. The $4,000 starting point is a narrow 12-hour monthly mandate; broader responsibility requires more capacity.

Do I Need Employees or an Existing Store?

No. Idea → Framework is designed for a founder starting from an idea. The Startup Blueprint works for a defined offer or early business. If you are still exploring, a working session is a useful first step.

Do You Take Equity or Control of My Company?

These are fee-based services. You retain ownership and control. We agree decision authority explicitly when fractional leadership is part of the engagement.
