Engagement options that match your needs

Every engagement begins with a discovery call. Most work starts with the Initial Diagnosis: it delivers standalone value and is the foundation for everything else. Pricing shown is baseline (under $5M revenue) and scales based on company size.

Focused Operational Investigations

Know exactly what's broken?

Not every organization needs a full Operational Entropy assessment. Sometimes the problem is already visible. The founder can't step away. Critical knowledge lives inside a handful of employees. Projects keep stalling. Teams lose information during handoffs.
Focused Operational Investigations provide a faster path to solutions.

The 5 OEI engagement paths

01

Initial OEI Diagnosis

Standalone. 4 days.

Structured interviews, workflow analysis, and operational testing. You get a baseline OEI score and a clear picture of where operational speed is leaking.

What's included

  • ✓ Structured interviews across your company
  • ✓ Workflow mapping to identify bottlenecks
  • ✓ Operational testing and measurement
  • ✓ Baseline OEI score across 5 dimensions
  • ✓ Executive summary of findings
Start diagnosis

Ideal for

Companies that want to understand their operational entropy before committing to deeper work. Great standalone value or as a foundation for larger engagements.

Investment

$2,000

Baseline (under $5M). Scales with company revenue.

02

15- or 30-Day OEI Audit

Requires initial diagnosis. 15 or 30 days.

Deep-dive into the diagnosis. Maps where decisions stall, context is missing, and single points of failure are hiding. You leave with a clear recommendations roadmap.

15-Day Audit: A shorter audit for simpler analyses, with fewer areas to monitor or a more focused depth of inquiry.

30-Day Audit: A comprehensive audit for more areas to monitor, deeper analysis, and a fuller operational map.

What's included

  • ✓ Interviews and analysis scaled to the audit depth
  • ✓ Detailed root cause mapping
  • ✓ Process documentation review
  • ✓ Competitive/benchmarking context
  • ✓ Prioritized recommendations roadmap
  • ✓ Quarterly check-in included
Start audit

Ideal for

Organizations that want a clear map of their operational entropy and a detailed roadmap for fixes. The audit length depends on how many areas need monitoring and how deeply each one must be analyzed.

Investment

$8,000-$15,000

Baseline (under $5M): $8,000 for 15 days or $15,000 for 30 days. Scales with company revenue.

03

30-Day Single Pain Point Sprint

Requires diagnosis + audit. 30 days.

One bottleneck, thirty days, actually fixed. A structural solution for companies that know exactly what the problem is and want it solved.

What's included

  • ✓ Focused intervention on one critical bottleneck
  • ✓ Structural redesign (not patches)
  • ✓ Implementation support and change management
  • ✓ Team training and onboarding to new system where necessary
  • ✓ 30-day post-launch monitoring
  • ✓ Quarterly check-ins for 6 months
Start sprint

Ideal for

Companies with a clear, high-impact bottleneck (founder approval, handoff failure, knowledge loss). You know what's broken and want it fixed instead of analyzed.

Investment

$25,000

Baseline (under $5M). Scales with company revenue.

04

90-Day Operational Entropy Reset

Requires diagnosis + audit. 90 days.

Ninety days on the top three problems. Structural fixes. For companies ready to rebuild the foundation and not just add another bandage.

What's included

  • ✓ Structural fixes on top 3 bottlenecks
  • ✓ Complete process redesign where needed
  • ✓ Full implementation and change management
  • ✓ Leadership and team coaching where necessary
  • ✓ New systems and tool optimization
  • ✓ 90-day post-launch support
  • ✓ Quarterly check-ins

05

One-Year OEI Trend Analysis

Standalone. 4 quarterly sessions. Most useful with a completed or active engagement.

Four check-ins across a year to verify fixes held, catch new entropy as you grow, and track how your baseline shifts. An insurance policy against backsliding.

What's included

  • ✓ 4 quarterly deep-dive sessions
  • ✓ OEI score re-measurement
  • ✓ Verification that previous fixes are holding
  • ✓ Identification of new entropy as you grow
  • ✓ Updated recommendations roadmap each quarter
  • ✓ Year-round support
Start trend analysis

Ideal for

Organizations that completed an engagement and want ongoing monitoring as you grow. Ensure fixes hold and catch new problems early before they compound.

Investment

$5,000

Baseline (under $5M). Scales with company revenue.

Building your engagement path

Most companies follow this progression:

Step 1

Initial Diagnosis

Understand the scope of your entropy.

Step 2

15- or 30-Day Audit

Match the audit depth to the number of areas being monitored.

Step 3

Focused Sprint or Reset

Attack the problems.

Step 4

Entropy Compatible Hiring

Make the fix stick.

Optional

Trend Analysis

Monitor over time as you grow.

However, every company is different

If you know exactly what your bottleneck is, start with a Sprint. If you just want an annual check-in, start with Trend Analysis. Engagements are scoped to your company.
