How we price and structure engagements
Most advisory firms avoid this page. We publish it because transparency up front saves your time and ours — so you can decide whether our model fits your situation before any call.
We use a three-component fee structure designed to align incentives: you know what you're paying for, we share risk on outcomes, and neither side is surprised.
Three components, aligned to outcome
Every engagement is structured with the same three building blocks — scaled to fit your situation.
Fixed Retainer
Predictable monthly fee for guaranteed availability, weekly cadence, and direct principal access. This is what keeps us in the company — not billing hours.
Milestone Fees
Pre-agreed fees tied to specific delivery milestones — diagnosis complete, 30/60/90 plan approved, stabilization achieved, program delivered. Triggered when the milestone is met, not by time spent.
Outcome Success Fee
Upside fee triggered only when agreed outcome thresholds are met — measurable, defined upfront, capped. Share in the result, aligned to what the engagement actually delivers.
The weighting varies by engagement type (see below). Early-stage diagnosis is mostly fixed. Crisis stabilization emphasizes milestones. Long-term growth advisory includes meaningful outcome fees.
Engagement types and typical investment
Each engagement is sized to your situation. The ranges below reflect typical scope — your specific engagement will be quoted after the initial conversation.
Diagnostics
Growth Advisory
Crisis Management and Turnaround
Execution and PMO
These ranges are indicative, not contractual. Specific fee structures are agreed after the initial conversation, based on scope, duration, risk and outcome definition.
What happens after you reach out
No sales funnel. A short, direct process designed to respect your time.
15-minute conversation
You describe the situation briefly. We assess whether our model and experience fit what you need. Mutual qualification — if we're not the right partner, we say so.
Situation mapping (optional)
If there's a fit, we spend 1-2 hours understanding the context deeper — key people, data, constraints. Usually at your site or via video.
Engagement proposal
Within 5-7 working days, we send a structured proposal: scope, timeline, team composition, fee structure, outcome definition. Reviewed jointly, adjusted if needed.
Start
Engagement begins within 2-3 weeks of proposal agreement. First 72 hours focused on alignment, stakeholder mapping, and quick-win identification.
