How we price an engagement

Engagements start at $8K a month. Here is how we put a price on the work, what every engagement includes, and how we compare to a full time hire.

Fractional RevOps Team

One monthly fee for execution capacity sized to your needs. Planned workstreams and day to day support are both covered.

Priced by the capacity you reserve

Specialist Projects

A defined set of deliverables with a clear start and end. We price each project based on your specific needs.

Price determined by scope

Critical Coverage

Cover for a role while someone is on leave, or until you make a hire.

One monthly fee, priced to the support, until an end date

What determines the price

Our engagement model

Why not hire

A full-time hire is paid for the whole year. Layer by layer, most of it never reaches your problem.

A full-time hire

The paid year: 52 weeks of 40 hours

100%

You partner with us for our focused execution capacity.

Time off

Vacation, sick days and holidays: 28 working days a year 1

89%

Capacity is reserved by the month. When one of us is out, someone else picks up the work.

Meetings and admin

57% of working time goes on meetings, email and chat 2

38%

We lead the work and meet only when we need to, so we take work off your plate instead of adding to it. Our reviews, training and HR stay on our side.

Distraction and learning curve

Switching between too many things and hunting for answers each cost about a fifth 3, 4

25%

Your capacity goes only to your requests, each to a specialist who has built it before.

What reaches your problem

About a quarter of the year you pay for

25%

With us, specialists with the right skills stay focused on your problems in a way no in-house hire can.

Illustrative. Each layer is applied to the time left after the one above it, so the layers do not double count. 1 US Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Compensation Survey, March 2025, private industry: 15 vacation days, the most common band at five years of service, and 8 paid holidays, with 5 sick days on top. 2 Microsoft Work Trend Index, 2023: 23% of time in Teams meetings, 19% in Teams chat and 15% in email, from Microsoft 365 activity data. 3 Rubinstein, Meyer and Evans, Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2001, published by the American Psychological Association: switching between tasks can cost 20 to 40% in efficiency. 4 McKinsey Global Institute, The Social Economy, 2012: nearly 20% of the workweek goes on looking for internal information or tracking down colleagues who can help.

Common questions

What does it cost?

Engagements start at $8K a month. From there, the price depends on how many workstreams you need, the state of your systems and data, and how quickly you need results. We scope to your goals, so the estimate reflects your work rather than a standard package.

Is there a minimum term?

Terms are flexible. You can work month to month, or commit for longer at a lower monthly fee.

Can we start with a single project?

Yes. Many clients start with one Specialist Project, then add more or move to a Fractional RevOps Team.

How fast can you start?

Onboarding starts the week you sign. Delivery starts two weeks later, with access in place and the first workstreams outlined.
