HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS
Each is scoped to a specific outcome and timeframe. Start wherever the situation calls for.
TIER 1
Pricing shared after a discovery call
Who it's for: a CEO or CPO/VP Product who needs an outside, structured read before deciding what to do next, not another internal debate.
What happens: a 90-minute diagnostic conversation with the primary stakeholder, paired with a structured survey deployed to up to 25 stakeholders across the organization, so the read doesn't depend on one voice.
What you get: a one-page written summary identifying the specific fault lines and the single highest-leverage next move for each front.
Timeline: roughly a week to ten days, start to finish. Call first, survey open 3 to 5 business days, summary delivered within 48 hours of it closing.
TIER 2
Pricing shared after a discovery call
Who it's for: a company in the middle of a live trigger event, where product, people, and process are shifting week to week and need a plan that keeps pace.
What happens: each month opens with a signal check, a structured pulse read on where the three fronts stand, and produces a written stride plan: a specific, numbered list of the next 30 days' moves, prioritized against the current bottleneck. That plan is the tangible monthly deliverable.
What's included: one 90-minute session to build the plan together, one 30-minute mid-month troubleshooting check-in, defined async access with a real response window in between.
Timeline: scoped to the life of the trigger event itself, the integration window, the leader's ramp period, the deadline crunch, with a built-in 90-day checkpoint to continue, graduate to the full Transformation Roadmap, or close.
TIER 3
Pricing shared after a discovery call
Who it's for: a company that needs the complete picture across all three fronts at once, not a single diagnostic or a monthly cycle.
What happens: a comprehensive diagnostic across product, people, and process, including structured stakeholder interviews, delivered as a complete, specific execution plan.
What you get: I own the diagnosis and the plan end to end. I don't own the execution. The engagement concludes with a warm hand-off, a structured session with the leadership team walking through the plan together, assigning ownership, and taking questions live.
Optional: ongoing monthly video calls with the leadership team to workshop challenges as they execute, priced separately. Calls only, no async access, no written monthly plan, a deliberately lighter continuation than the Stride Cycle.

FAQ
No. You're not hiring an interim executive to fill the seat. I diagnose across product, people, and process and hand over the plan. Your team executes it.
No. Every engagement is scoped to the life of the trigger event, with a defined checkpoint to continue, change scope, or close.
Mid-market companies navigating a leadership transition, a merger, or a deadline they can't afford to miss. If you're not sure whether that's you, the Signal Read is built to answer that question honestly, for both of us.
