Senior team, sprint cadence, fixed fees.
Four engagement models, one operating system. The same way we delivered 1,500+ projects across 25+ countries. Senior consultants inside your tools, two-week sprint cadence, no hourly meters.
Four ways to work with us.
Most engagements start with a project, then move into a retainer once the system is in. Some teams need an embedded consultant, some need outcome-based skin in the game. We meet you where you are.
Implementation
Scoped, sequenced, shipped. HubSpot rebuilds, RevOps overhauls, AI agent ships, growth campaign launches. We scope it, you sign off, we deliver.
Retainer
Senior team on call for ongoing optimization, net-new builds, and ad-hoc strategic support. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
Embedded
Senior consultants inside your team. They sit in your Slack, report to your leadership, and run your stack. The closest thing to hiring without the headcount or ramp.
Outcome-based
Reserved for select scopes where we can own the metric end-to-end. SQL pipeline, qualified meetings, AI agent uptime. We share the risk; you share the upside.
Six things we never compromise on.
Senior team always
No junior handoffs. The person on your sales call is on your delivery team. The person who leads delivery is the one running the work. Every team has 5+ years operating in their domain.
Two-week sprint cadence
Every engagement runs in two-week sprints with demo, validation call, and async updates between. You always know what's shipping next, what shipped last sprint, and what blocked.
Fixed-fee pricing
We scope, you sign off, we ship. No hourly meters, no scope creep surprises, no padded estimates. If scope changes, we re-scope together; the price changes only with your approval.
Embedded in your tools
We work in your Slack, your project tracker, your CRM. You don't manage two teams or two systems. Our team becomes a Slack channel, not a vendor portal.
Documented handoff
Every engagement ends with documentation, runbooks, and 30 days of post-launch support so your team can run what we built. Knowledge transfer is part of the deliverable, not a nice-to-have.
Continuous optimization
Once we've built it, we can keep optimizing it. Retainers exist precisely for this. Most clients move from project to retainer because it's faster than rebuilding the relationship every six months.
From first call to fully shipped.
Most engagements look something like this. Specifics shift with scope, but the cadence holds.
- Week 001
Strategy call
30 minutes. We learn your business, current stack, the metric that needs to move. You learn how we'd approach it. You leave with a written one-pager whether or not we engage.
- Week 102
Scope and proposal
We send a fixed-fee proposal with deliverables, sprint plan, team, and timeline. Most clients sign within 5 business days.
- Week 203
Kickoff and audit
Senior lead and specialists onboard. We audit your current state, share findings, align on the sprint 1 plan. You get full Slack access to the team.
- Sprint 1+04
Build and ship
Two-week sprints with demo Friday, validation call Monday. We push code, copy, configs, agents, whatever the engagement is, into your live environment continuously.
- Final week05
Handoff
Documentation, runbooks, knowledge transfer session, 30-day post-launch support. Your team can run what we built without us.
- Week +3006
Retainer or graduation
Most clients (85%) move into a retainer. Some graduate completely. Either way, we tell you straight whether ongoing engagement makes sense for your stage.
Tools we work in, every day.
We don't pick your stack for you. We work in whatever you've already chosen, and we know it deeply enough to ship in week one.
Real numbers, no surprises.
Most projects run between $25K and $250K, depending on scope. Retainers start at $5K monthly and scale with team size. Embedded engagements are quoted per expert. We share specifics on the first call once we understand the scope; you'll never get a vague "starts at" number from us.
The questions we hear most.
What's the minimum engagement size?
The smallest projects we take on are around $15-20K to make economic sense for a senior team. For smaller scopes, we recommend other partners and stay in touch as you scale.
How does pricing work?
Project work is fixed-fee against a defined scope. Retainers are fixed monthly. Embedded engagements are weekly or daily rate. Outcome-based is engagement-specific. The strategy call gives you a real number for your scope.
Who's on my account?
A senior project lead, plus the specialists relevant to your scope (HubSpot architect, RevOps engineer, paid media specialist, AI engineer, etc). One named account lead end-to-end. No account managers or middlemen between you and the work.
How long does an engagement take?
Most projects run 6 to 12 weeks for the build phase, then transition to optional ongoing operations. AI agent ships can go in 4 weeks. HubSpot Enterprise rebuilds can run 16 weeks. Strategy call gets you a real estimate based on your specifics.
Can you start this week?
Sometimes. We protect a small amount of capacity for fast-start engagements. Strategy call is typically within 48 hours of inbound. Kickoff can be within 5 business days of contract signature.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, before any scoping conversation. Standard mutual NDA, signed digitally, takes about 15 minutes.
What happens if we're not happy mid-engagement?
We address it immediately. Every engagement has a project lead and an exec sponsor on our side; either is reachable any time. Retainers cancel with 30 days notice. Project engagements include a kill clause we explain at contract signing.
Tell us what you're trying to ship. We'll tell you how we'd approach it.
30 minutes, no slides, no pitch. You leave with a written one-pager whether or not we engage.
