Buyer signal

Commercial range

Typical sprint pricing is $12k to $25k depending on workflow complexity, business size, and urgency.

Buyer signal

Who it fits

Newly accountable owners, sponsors, or portfolio operators who need operating visibility faster than traditional consulting allows.

Buyer signal

Common Questions

What is actually delivered at the end of 30 days?

The Operating Map, Living SOP Manual, Key-Person Dependency Map, Weekly Operator Brief v1, one live exception automation, and a 90-day priority roadmap.

How much does the sprint cost?

Typical pricing ranges from $12,000 to $25,000 depending on business complexity, workflow volume, and urgency.

Do you need access to our software systems?

Yes, but read-only where possible. We integrate with your existing CRM, accounting software, and communication tools to build the Operating Graph without disrupting daily work.

What if the business is more than 100 days post-close?

We can still deploy, but the highest value is captured in the first 30-100 days when the operating gaps are most visible and most fixable.
