4 quarterly sessions to monitor entropy as you grow.
Use this as a quick guide. The assessment or a discovery call will confirm the right path for your situation.
| Engagement | Best for | Duration | Prerequisite | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4-Day Diagnosis | You need clarity on where to start. | 4 days | None | OEI baseline and prioritized next steps. |
| 15-Day Audit | A simpler analysis with fewer areas to monitor. | 15 days | Diagnosis | Focused findings and a recommendations roadmap. |
| 30-Day Audit | Broader scope or deeper investigation. | 30 days | Diagnosis | Comprehensive operational map and roadmap. |
| 30-Day Sprint | One clearly defined bottleneck to fix. | 30 days | Diagnosis + audit | One structural intervention implemented. |
| 90-Day Reset | Multiple interconnected operational issues. | 90 days | Diagnosis + audit | Three structural interventions and a rebuilt foundation. |
| One-Year Trend | You want ongoing visibility; it is most useful alongside or after an engagement. | 1 year | None; completed or active engagement recommended | Quarterly measurement and early-pattern detection. |
A bounded investigation for a visible problem such as founder dependency, knowledge loss, stalled work, tool friction, or handoff failure.
Entropy Compatible Hiring provides ten role-agnostic, OEI-derived interview instruments for observing operational behavior. It can be used with OEI findings or independently and does not replace role-specific hiring evaluation.
One-time Beta pricing. Not scaled by revenue. This is software, not a consulting engagement.
All other OEI engagements are scoped consulting work, so the price reflects time, complexity, and company size. Entropy Compatible Hiring is a software product with one-time Beta pricing. It doesn't scale with revenue because the purchase provides access to the application rather than consulting hours.
Every engagement can be tailored to your specific needs. The prices above are starting points for standard engagements. Have a discovery call to discuss your situation and we'll scope it properly.
Yes. Interviews, workshops, and coaching all happen via video. Most engagements are fully remote. Some teams prefer an in-person kick-off. We can work that out in the discovery call.
The diagnosis is paid upfront, as well as the one-year trend. The longer engagements (audit and executions sprints) are paid 50% up front, 50% at the midpoint.
That's totally fine. The initial diagnosis delivers standalone value. You get a clear understanding of your organizational entropy, and you can decide what to do with that information. No pressure to continue.
Yes. For longer engagements, we provide a statement of work that outlines scope, timeline, deliverables, and investment. Everything is clear upfront.
Out-of-pocket expenses (travel, if in-person) are billed separately. Custom tool development, permanent staff augmentation, or extended implementations beyond the engagement window are out of scope.
Yes, but the OEI's value increases with company size and complexity. For very early-stage teams (under 10 people), you might not need a formal diagnosis, since operational entropy usually isn't the constraint yet. Have a discovery call and we'll be honest about whether it's the right fit.
We work with non-profits and mission-driven organizations on a case-by-case basis. Reach out with your situation and we'll discuss options.
If you know someone who'd benefit from the OEI, refer them and earn a commission on any completed engagement. No exclusivity, no minimums, no cap on how much you can earn.
Founders, operators, or consultants who work with scaling companies (30-500 people). Companies feeling organizational entropy: slow execution, founder bottlenecks, communication breakdown, poor handoffs.
Basically, anyone who'd recognize themselves in "common signs you need this."
