Pricing & engagements

I price the work by its value, not by the hour.

You are hiring me to help clarify a consequential problem, make a decision, build your team’s capability, or move work forward. We agree on the outcome, my role, the scope, and the fee before we start.

Ways to start

A clear entry point. A scope that fits the work.

01 · Training

Half-day working session

From US$5,000

A focused session for a team that needs a shared way to think, decide, or work. We choose the problem, participants, preparation, and practical output together.

02 · Defined project

One problem, one agreed scope

Proposal based

For problem definition, positioning, leadership alignment, or a specific change that needs a decision and a path into action. For planning, allow 2–4 weeks for a focused scope or 8–12 weeks for a broader engagement. The timeline guide below explains preparation and dependencies.

03 · Ongoing partnership

Monthly retainer

Scoped together

For leaders who need me alongside the team over time. We agree on the decisions and work I will support, how we will meet, what authority I need, and how we will review progress each month.

How the fee is set

You know what you are buying.

I ask what decision or change you need, who needs to be involved, what evidence is available, and what role you need me to play. Then I propose a fee for that scope. The price reflects the value and complexity of the work rather than a tally of hours.

We put the deliverables, responsibilities, timing, and fee in writing. If the scope changes, we agree on that change before adding work. A retainer is a monthly agreement around an ongoing role and priorities, not a bucket of hours.

Start with the problem

Tell me what needs to change.

You do not need to know which engagement fits. Start an inquiry and I will track the conversation in SingleFig. I will confirm the scope and payment details with you before work begins.

Before you commit.

We agree on scope, fee, milestones, and how to review progress before work starts. An initial inquiry carries no obligation.

Plan your time

Service timelines: what to expect.

These are planning estimates, not a delivery commitment or a record of average project durations. Your written proposal confirms the start date, milestones, preparation, and review dates after we discuss your scope and availability. Weeks mean calendar weeks; business days mean Monday–Friday, excluding holidays.

Compare engagement duration and preparation
EngagementPlanning estimateWhat shapes the schedule
Defined projects2–4 weeks for a focused scope; 8–12 weeks for a broader engagementUse these ranges to plan discovery, a working review, and handoff. Larger implementation or integrations may need longer. Interviews, evidence access, approvals, and specialist availability shape the schedule.
Training and team developmentHalf-day or full-day session; a multi-session plan can span 3–6 weeksAllow a planning window of 1–2 weeks for sponsor preparation, participant selection, and gathering real examples. We specify any participant pre-work and its time commitment in the proposal. A program includes time between sessions to practice.
Ongoing partnershipPlan 2–4 weeks for setup, then an agreed monthly cadenceSetup covers goals, evidence, access, responsibilities, and priorities. We agree on working meetings and a monthly progress review. Longer partnerships can include a quarterly scope review. The proposal sets the term and any renewal arrangements.
Website scanPlan 3–5 business days for the review; a debrief within 7 business daysThis planning target starts after the scope, payment arrangements, and required access are agreed and complete. We confirm availability before booking. A larger site or missing analytics access can change the estimate. Fixes and implementation get their own scope.
CoachingA focused session or a recurring schedule agreed around your goalWe set session length, frequency, preparation, and the first progress review together. A conversation can address one immediate decision; a development goal may need practice across several sessions. There is no fixed deadline for a promotion or role change.

What if your deadline is fixed?

Tell me the date and the decision or output you need. We can discuss a smaller first phase, the access it requires, and what can follow. The clock starts on the agreed kickoff date, after the required inputs are ready. If an approval, input, or dependency slips, we review its effect on the milestones together.
