The Idea Session

Starting at $1,500

final pricing confirmed in your agreement

Full session fee credited toward The Idea Sprint or The Blueprint.

Turns a stuck thought into a clear next move.

A focused, one-on-one strategy consultation with a senior partner. You bring the idea, problem, or possibility; we bring the right questions.

What it is

A 90-minute pressure-test of your thinking. We cut through the noise and point you at the highest-value path forward — before you spend real money on anything bigger.

Timeline

Single 90-minute session, within 5 business days of booking.

The outcome

Clarity — a sharpened definition of the opportunity, the 2–3 decisions that actually matter, and a done-this-week action list. You'll know whether this is worth pursuing, and exactly how to start. Half-finished thinking is fine — no prep needed.

Deliverables

  • Private 90-min strategy session
  • Crisp session summary — a starter Possibility Brief™
  • Top 2–3 next moves, prioritized by impact

Starting at $5,000

final pricing confirmed in your agreement

Find exactly where AI can buy back your time and cut your costs.

A high-leverage assessment of where AI genuinely helps — not a tech review, a business-results view.

What it is

A focused audit of your workflows and results. We map processes, benchmark time and cost, identify the highest-return opportunities, then hand you a prioritized roadmap — with a plain-language build / buy / skip recommendation.

Timeline

2–3 weeks, including discovery + a leadership readout. Especially useful for non-tech companies.

The outcome

A clear, prioritized view of where AI creates real advantage, ranked by impact and effort, with a practical plan to capture it. Quick wins first.

  • Impact-and-effort roadmap, quick wins first

The Solve · Shape a concept

The Idea Sprint

Starting at $5,000

final pricing confirmed in your agreement

The Idea Session fee is credited toward any larger engagement.

Shape your raw concept into an actionable plan — in weeks.

Two to three intense weeks that pressure-test, shape, and structure a fledgling idea into a concrete plan you can actually execute.

What it is

A compressed engagement — human judgement to ask the right questions, AI to solve fast. We map the market, the model, and the moves.

Timeline

2–3 weeks, focused sprints with a midpoint check-in. (~3–5 hours of your team's time.)

“Don't do this” is a valid, plainly-delivered answer. Not a longer session — this builds the plan.

The outcome

A validated, de-risked concept with a clear route to launch: who it's for, what it takes, and the first steps.

Deliverables

  • Structured Possibility Brief™
  • Market / customer reality-check
  • Recommended business & GTM model, with trade-offs visible
  • Prioritized 90-day action plan with owners and dates

View the example
03The Build · From Idea to Business

Caldwell & Crane · Benchline

Launch Blueprint™

A full new-business launch: model, unit economics, phased roadmap, go/no-go gates, named owners — and an honest “we said don't launch line X” beat.

04The Thinking Partner · Ongoing Advisory

Brightwater Health

Execution Office retainer

A month in the life of an ongoing retainer: plan of record, owners and dates, a decision log, and the things we said no to this quarter.
