How Engagements Work

Every engagement has one goal: make us unnecessary. Your partner gets inside the business fast, ships alongside your team, and transitions out when the work is done.

1

Diagnose and Align

30 days, fixed fee

Skip-level 1:1s, retention cohorts, pricing analysis, workflow audit. You get a prioritized roadmap, a strategy narrative that aligns everyone, and the hard conversations that move things forward.

2

Ship and Transform

quarterly, 2-3 days/week

Your partner is in your Slack, your standups, your data. They lead the function or work alongside the leader who does. They identify internal champions, coach your team toward ownership, and ship the roadmap.

3

Transition

Your existing leader levels up, we help recruit the permanent hire, or your internal team steps up. Clean handoff, documented playbooks, no dependency.

The Working Rhythm

  • Weekly Leadership Sync. Roadmap review, coaching, board meeting prep.
  • Bi-Weekly Cross-Functional Sync. Adoption data, tooling friction, culture.
  • Monthly Steering. Executive report on progress, blockers, and outcomes.
  • Skip-Level 1:1s. Direct access to VPs and Directors for unfiltered signal on talent, blockers, and champions.
  • Strategic Updates. Biweekly presentations: what shipped, the impact, and what it means for the roadmap.

Practice Areas

Growth

We clarify the strategy, write the narrative for your board, and ship against it in the same quarter. Retention, pricing, ICP, channel health. The diagnostic runs in parallel with execution so the first month produces both clarity and shipped work.

AI-Enabled Operations

Every engagement runs on Andale, the AI operating layer we built in-house. Your partner opens a dedicated session compiled with your entire client vault: meeting transcripts with speaker attribution, email threads, product data, every prior commitment. Overnight activity refreshes automatically. Action items extracted from meetings route to the right person. The partner working on your business has full-time context on a fractional schedule.

Let's Talk

We take a small number of engagements at a time. If there's a fit, the conversation is timing.
