How We Work Together

Services Built
for Real Results

Three engagement tiers mapped to The Advantage Engine. Each is modular, outcome-focused, and built to deliver value at every stage — whether you are just getting started or ready to go deep.

01
Fixed-Fee Engagements
Every project is scoped and priced before work begins. No hourly surprises, no scope creep conversations.
02
Modular by Design
Start at any tier. Build from there. You do not need to commit to the full journey on day one.
03
You Own the Outcome
Every deliverable comes with documentation and knowledge transfer so your team owns the result long after we are gone.

The Three Tiers

Choose Your Entry Point

Each tier connects directly to The Advantage Engine. Most clients begin with the AI Readiness Sprint and build from there as confidence and momentum grow.

Tier 01 — Entry Point
AI Readiness Sprint
3 – 4 Weeks | Fixed Fee
Advantage Engine Layers 1 & 2

Your foundation. Before any technology is introduced, we align your team using the Working Genius model and assess your organization's readiness to adopt AI using the OpenExo framework. You leave with a clear picture of where your business stands, where the friction lives, and exactly where AI can create the most impact.

Most clients find this sprint alone changes how their leadership team thinks about AI — moving from reactive tool-chasing to intentional, strategic adoption.

What's Included

Working Genius team assessment and alignment report
AI readiness scorecard across people, process, and technology
OpenExo-informed organizational review
Individual genius and frustration profiles for all participants
Leadership alignment session with findings presentation
Prioritized AI transformation roadmap with recommended next steps

Tier 02 — Core Delivery
Growth Workflow Build
4 – 8 Weeks | Fixed Fee by Scope
Advantage Engine Layers 3 & 4

The execution phase. With your roadmap in hand, we build targeted AI automations that fill the specific skill and task gaps identified in your Sprint — and apply AI-assisted market intelligence to surface competitive opportunities your business is not currently capturing.

Scoped by complexity, not by the hour. Starter, Standard, and Expanded tiers accommodate everything from a single workflow build to a multi-department transformation. Every automation is documented for your team's long-term ownership.

What's Included

Custom AI workflow automations (quantity based on scope tier)
ROI documentation tied to measurable business outcomes
Competitive positioning and messaging gap analysis
Market opportunity brief with recommended actions
Full workflow documentation and team handoff session
Optimization roadmap for future automation phases

Tier 03 — Ongoing Partnership
AI Operations Partner
Monthly Retainer | 6-Month Minimum
All Five Advantage Engine Layers

Your long-term AI advantage partner. As AI tools evolve and your business grows, this retainer keeps your automations optimized, your competitive intelligence current, and your team continuously improving. Three retainer levels — Essentials, Growth, and Full Partner — give you the right level of engagement for where you are today.

New automation builds as your business needs evolve
Monthly competitive and market intelligence update
Strategic AI advisory and monthly leadership session
Team coaching and AI capability development

Optional Add-On

OpenSpec AI Build Governance

Available with AI Operations Partner

For companies building their own custom tools, OpenSpec establishes a structured spec framework that captures business intent before any code is written. Your AI coding agents build the right thing — and your team owns the result long after the engagement ends.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and more
Specs live in your codebase — your team owns the context permanently
Reduces costly rework from misaligned AI coding agent outputs
One-time setup fee; ongoing management included in Full Partner retainer
