Two Ways to Work

Retainers: Embedded or Forward Deployed

After the audit, pick your model. Embedded: about a day a week, async access in between. Forward Deployed: two days a week on-site where we can, seat in your leadership cadence, we're your fractional CMO and systems engineer, same team. Either way, first 90 days is build-heavy. Weekly ships. After 90 days, quarterly billing at a preferred rate.

Embedded: $6,500/mo

About a day a week of focused build time. Async access in between. We own your deployment roadmap. Weekly ships — working software every Friday. Growth motion runs alongside the systems. 90-day initial commitment billed monthly, then quarterly at a preferred rate.

Good for: teams with an existing ops lead, business manager, or ops person who can gather requirements and keep things moving day-to-day.

Forward Deployed: $11,000/mo

Two days a week embedded with your team. On-site where geography allows. A seat in your leadership cadence. We're your fractional CMO and systems engineer — the team that ships the code also owns the growth motion. Everything in Embedded, at twice the depth. 90-day initial commitment billed monthly, then quarterly at a preferred rate.

Good for: operators without technical leadership on staff, where we need to drive roadmap planning, unblock dependencies, and manage priorities at the leadership level.

The First 90 Days

Build-heavy. CRM & pipeline architecture (yours, not rented from us). AI intake & reception (calls and forms answered in minutes, qualified, booked). Reporting & attribution dashboard. Content engine if we scope it. Every system documented, every account and asset owned by you. At the end of 90 days, you have working revenue systems and an engineer who knows them inside out.
