Services

Work scoped to the gap, priced before it starts.

You can tell something is off, but not where. A written read finds it, and every step after is scoped to what it found.

The planSample

A regional architecture firmScoped from its Signal read

The Signal$350The website and Instagram, read cold.Read delivered
The SprintFrom $3,500Positioning, then every medium rewritten. Three weeks.What the read recommends
The RetainerFrom $1,500 / moA monthly read that catches drift early.Optional, after the sprint

Accepted online. Scope, timeline, and price on one page.

Three ways in

Each step is priced. Stop when the gap is closed.

The Signal names the gap. The Sprint closes it. The Retainer keeps it closed. No step commits you to the next.

First

The Signal

$350A written read, in 24 hours

For: Anyone who can tell something is off, but not yet where.
You get: Your website and main social profile, read as a cold prospect would, in six written parts ending on a next step. Optional 45-minute debrief, $150.

After

You know what to fix first, before any budget is spent.

Then

The Sprint

From $3,5002 to 3 weeks

For: Teams that know the gap and want it closed, in the words or the tools.
You get: One gap, closed: a positioning refresh, a messaging rewrite across every medium, a voice guide, or the first operational tool.

After

The website, the deck, the proposal, and the call sell the same firm.

Ongoing

The Retainer

From $1,500 / monthThe Signal credits toward month one

For: Teams that publish often, where the words drift as fast as the work grows.
You get: A monthly read of what you publish and how the work runs, catching drift before a buyer does.

After

A year later, buyers still find the firm you describe.

Not sure which? The Signal ends on a recommended next step, with its reasoning.
