Four ways to work together.

§ 02

Process

What working with me actually looks like.

Linear, transparent, and short on theatre. The process is the same whether the engagement is one workshop or a six-month consulting partnership.

30-minute call

We talk about your situation. If I am the wrong person for it, I will say so and recommend a peer who is the right one.

Free · within 5 days

Written proposal

Single page. Scope, deliverables, timeline, price, who is doing what. No appendix, no slideware, no boilerplate.

Within 3 days of call

The work itself

You get me, not an account manager and a junior. Weekly written updates. Async-friendly. Your team can ping me directly.

2–16 weeks · scope-dependent

Handoff & follow-up

Documented handoff, raw data, replication notes. One follow-up call at d45 is included on every engagement.
