The first call.

A senior practitioner takes your inquiry, not an SDR, a junior, or a chatbot. The call is 60 minutes, no obligation, and is genuinely diagnostic. By the end, you'll know whether we can help, and if we can't, who can.

If we're a fit.

We send a one-page scope within three business days. It names: the problem we'd take on, the named practitioner who'd lead it, the deliverables, the timeline, and the fixed fee. No bait-and-switch from senior partner pitch to junior staffing. No leveraged pyramids.

The two-week diagnostic.

Every engagement begins with a two-week diagnostic. We interview the people who matter, pull the artifacts that exist, and map the current state against your goals. The deliverable is a one-page heatmap and a costed 90-day plan. From there, you decide whether to keep going. We'd rather earn the next phase than lock you into a year-long contract.

The build (or coach) phase.

We work two ways, depending on what fits your team's bandwidth:

The handoff.

Steady-state goes to your team. We document a playbook so the program survives staff turnover. We stay on an advisory cadence only if it continues to add value, measured quarterly, by you.

What we won't do.

Cadence

What a typical first 90 days looks like.

Week 1Kickoff & interviewsSenior practitioner on-site or remote. Interviews with named stakeholders, artifact collection.
Week 2Heatmap & planOne-page heatmap, costed 90-day plan, go/no-go conversation with you.
Weeks 3-6FoundationsRisk taxonomy, governance, appetite, KRI design, or the equivalent for your problem.
Weeks 7-10Build / rolloutImplementation in your environment. Weekly status. No surprises.
Weeks 11-13Embed & handoffPlaybook to your team. Board calibration. Steady-state cadence defined.

Engagement economics.

Diagnostics are typically $15-25K depending on scope. Build phases are quoted fixed-fee per phase, most fall in the $60-150K range for a single risk-domain rebuild, more for multi-vertical or platform rollouts. Advisory retainers are quoted by cadence (monthly or quarterly).

We share rough ranges before we send a proposal. If your budget doesn't fit, we'll tell you in the first call and recommend partners who do.
