A FEW CLEVER GUYS
how we charge

How We Charge, Plain & Simple.

No rate card, because the number depends on how tangled the problem is. What follows is what actually moves it — so you can judge the fit before you spend anything.

What drives the cost

Complexity and access. A single-owner business with one product is a short engagement. Multiple entities, partners who disagree, or a turnaround under time pressure is a longer one.

How engagements are shaped

A paid diagnosis first: one session, a written read on what's actually wrong. You see how we think before you commit to anything bigger, and you keep the read either way.

Advice versus execution

Advice-only is cheaper and often enough. Where you'd rather we stayed to push decisions through, that's a separate, longer arrangement — priced by time, not by outcome promises.

What you get, concretely

A plain diagnosis, the two or three decisions that matter most, and the order to do them in. Written in words you can forward to your team without translating.
