The math

If two hours with an experienced owner help you avoid one costly mistake or make one important decision sooner, the time has paid for itself.

What to expect

Timing and boundaries, stated up front.

Typical timeline

Booked as needed. Time is billed as used, with a 2-hour minimum.

Your engagement letter sets the actual schedule.

Valuations, offering materials, and legal, tax, accounting or investment advice.

How engagements work

Clear scope before any work begins.

Written scope

Final scope and price are confirmed in a written engagement letter before any work begins.

Committed to the work

We commit to the work described in your engagement, not to any ranking, revenue or buyer outcome.

Separate from introductions

Introductions carry no fee for owners. Buying a service never affects whether, when or to whom we make one.

Engagements are covered by our Owner Services Terms.
