Engagements

Scoped to the work.

Engagements are scoped to outcome, not by the hour. Pricing reflects the depth of audit, complexity of build, and the cadence of run-state ownership we hold for you.

Each engagement is bespoke. Request scoping below — a written scope and fee is returned after a short discovery, most inside 48 hours.

How engagements are priced

Three inputs, one custom engagement fee.

I.

Scope of audit

How deep we read your current programming, recovery, and operations before we recommend anything.

II.

Complexity of build

What the written system has to coordinate — training, recovery, measurement, accountability, team handoffs.

III.

Cadence of ownership

How often we recalibrate with you, and how tight the async response window stays open.

Engagements range from $47 — single-session reads — to bespoke retainers scoped per client.

How we engage

Two formats. Same standard of care.
