Sound Familiar?

The Problems That Bring Teams to Us

If you're nodding at any of these, we should talk.

🕑

"We Keep Missing Deadlines"

Every launch slips. Estimates are always wrong. The team is working hard but projects still drag. You need someone who can see the system, not just the symptoms.

🔥

"We're Always Firefighting"

No time to think strategically—you're too busy reacting. Technical debt piles up. The same problems keep coming back. You need to break the cycle.

🤔

"We Need Senior Expertise"

Big decisions ahead but no senior technical leadership to guide them. Can't justify a full-time VP Eng hire yet, but flying blind isn't working either.

02
How We Work

Pick the Engagement That Fits Your Problem

Every engagement includes methodology transfer—we don't create dependency, we build capability.

Deep Problems

"We Need a VP Eng—But Not Full-Time"

I embed with your team 20-30 hours/week. Architecture decisions, process fixes, team capability building—hands-on leadership until the problem is solved.

  • ✓ Diagnose why launches keep slipping
  • ✓ Rebuild planning and estimation
  • ✓ Coach your leads to own it after
  • ✓ Document the system so it sticks
  • ✓ 3-6 month typical engagement
$8K-10K /month
Ongoing Guidance

"We Have Leadership—We Need a Sounding Board"

Monthly strategy sessions plus async access. For teams that have the people but need experienced perspective on hard decisions.

  • ✓ Monthly 2-hour deep dives
  • ✓ Async Slack/email access
  • ✓ Architecture reviews on demand
  • ✓ Decision frameworks you can reuse
  • ✓ Flexible 6-18 month relationships
$4K /month
One Problem

"We Have One Big Thing to Figure Out"

Intensive 2-8 week engagement focused on a single challenge. Architecture review, scaling plan, team assessment—solved and documented.

  • ✓ Define the real problem (week 1)
  • ✓ Develop solution options (week 2-3)
  • ✓ Build implementation plan (week 4+)
  • ✓ Complete handoff documentation
  • ✓ 30-day follow-up included
$15K-50K /project

The Thinking Tool

The RAPID Framework

Our problem-solving methodology. We use this thinking tool within every engagement phase—and transfer it to your team so they can apply it independently.

R
Recognize
Define the real problem
A
Analyze
Map the system
P
Prioritize
Find leverage points
I
Implement
Execute systematically
D
Deliver
Transfer & iterate

The same thinking tool your team will use long after the engagement ends.

The Delivery Structure

5-Phase Engagement Process

How we structure client work. RAPID thinking is applied within each phase—so you're learning the methodology while we solve together.

1

Discovery & Problem Definition

8-hour facilitated workshop using RAPID Framework. We define system boundaries, map constraints, and align stakeholders on the real problem before proceeding.

Deliverable: One-page problem definition canvas
2

Architecture & Strategy Development

Multi-domain analysis using Constellation Framework. Design alternatives evaluation, risk assessment, and mitigation planning. Technical peer review validation.

Deliverable: Architecture document + decision records
3

Implementation Oversight

Weekly strategic reviews with standardized 1.5-hour format. Progress assessment, blocker resolution, and continuous methodology refinement as your team executes.

Deliverable: Weekly dashboards + decision records
4

Knowledge Transfer & Capability Building

Client-specific methodology handbook creation. How RAPID/Constellation applied to your context. Three-session team training program.

Deliverable: Complete methodology package + trained team
5

Transition & Alumni Integration

Quarterly check-ins for methodology refinement feedback. Academy integration with team discount. Case study development and network introduction.

Deliverable: Self-sufficient team + ongoing support pathway
