Best for: Teams that need one high-impact system built in 3–6 weeks—without committing to full fractional support.

Example Projects

Not ready for the 90-day retainer? These are 3–6 week builds designed to remove one bottleneck fast.

Org Design & Restructuring Support

Ownership Mapping + Decision Rights Sprint

Outcome: Clear ownership and decision paths so work stops looping back to the founder.

What We Build: decision rights map (who decides/executes/escalates), accountability lanes, handoff clarity, and a lightweight org/role alignment plan.

Timeline: 3–4 weeks

Performance Management System Setup &
Manager Enablement

Outcome: Managers stop avoiding hard conversations and performance issues stop festering.

What We Build: manager expectations, feedback rhythm, performance documentation basics, and a minimum viable performance framework (not a bureaucracy).

Timeline: 3–5 weeks

Role Leveling &
Job Architecture

Outcome: Clear roles and leveling so hiring, comp, and performance expectations stop being subjective.

What We Build: leveling philosophy, role expectations by level, updated job frameworks for priority functions, and guidance for managers on how to use it.

Timeline: 3–6 weeks

KPI Dashboard &
Leadership Scorecard Build

Outcome: Execution becomes visible weekly—no more “we’re busy” without progress.

What We Build: a leadership scorecard with 8–15 metrics, owners per metric, weekly review cadence, and a simple reporting rhythm your team can maintain.

Timeline: 2–3 weeks

Operating Cadence Reset & Meeting Architecture

Outcome: Meetings drive action, decisions get made, and follow-through becomes standard.

What We Build: exec cadence reset, meeting architecture + agendas, decision log, action tracker, escalation rules, and facilitation structure.

Timeline: 2–3 weeks

Compensation Benchmarking & Leveling Framework

Outcome: Pay decisions become consistent, defensible, and aligned to your growth stage.

What We Build: benchmarking approach, comp bands aligned to leveling, offer/raise guidance, and a simple process for ongoing maintenance.

How It Works

You get a clearly defined scope, timeline, and deliverables. We build it, implement it, and hand it off cleanly—no bloated consulting. Working style: Async-first with working sessions as needed to keep momentum.

Scope the Bottleneck

(15–30 min)

We confirm the problem, define the outcome, and decide if this is the right project—or if you need the 90-day retainer.

Build the System

(Week 1–2)

We create the framework, docs, templates, and operating rhythm based on your team’s reality (not theory).

Implement with

Your Team

(Week 2–4)

We run the working sessions, install the cadence, and coach the owners so the system actually gets used.

Handoff & Sustainability

You get a clean playbook, templates, and a next-step plan so it runs without me.

Engagement & Investment

Timeline: Most Special Projects run 3–6 weeks.

Investment: $7,500–$25,000, depending on scope and complexity.

How We Scope It: We start with a quick Bottleneck Triage to confirm the right project and define success criteria. If you want a fully mapped plan + templates first, start with the Bottleneck Audit Intensive.

Not sure whether you need a project or the 90-day retainer?

Choose a Special Project if you need one system built fast.
Choose the 90-day retainer if you need the full operating system installed (decision rights + cadence + manager baseline + playbook).

**If you complete the Bottleneck Audit and move into a Special Project within 14 days, I credit the Audit fee toward the project.**
