Deal work Done by our operator
One operator in the room. A bench behind them.
You work with one person. They pull in the specialists your priorities need, and release them when you don’t.
The operator
Joins your meetings and tools, sets priorities with you every week and owns delivery. One person to call.
The bench
Ex-consultants and operators with 10+ years each: research, hiring, finance, outbound and deal specialists.
One weekly rhythm
A short sync with you, a shared tracker, and work that arrives finished.
Paid for outcomes. Not hours.
A $1,000 monthly base retainer, plus fees tied to outcomes. Start with one practice or all four, and change the mix every month.
$1,000 / month
Covers your operator and the weekly rhythm. The same starting point for every engagement.
Paid on results
Fees tied to results you can count, such as meetings booked or targets sourced, agreed in week one and logged before they are billed.
Your maximum
A ceiling on every month, so you always know the most you will pay.
Full speed in two weeks.
From the first call to a working rhythm.
Diagnose
We map your priorities and what’s eating your week.
Deploy
Your operator is matched and set up in your tools.
Run
Weekly sprints, named owners and a leadership sync.
Recalibrate
We review results and reshape the team.
Half your week isn’t yours.
A raise, a new market, an acquisition you keep meaning to look at. The list grows faster than the team, and hiring takes months.
Nothing here yet. Hand something over.
Three things stay with you: the work only a leader can do.
