Not because my time is precious — because a call where I don't know your situation wastes yours. You'd spend the first fifteen minutes explaining something you could write in four lines, and we'd both leave without an answer.
So tell me what's breaking. I read every one of these myself, usually the same day. If I can help, I'll come back with a time. If I can't, I'll say so and point you at someone who can.
There's no assistant screening these and no team you'd get handed to. You're writing to the person who'd do the work.
Which is also why the form is longer than you'd like. Four minutes here saves an hour of us both finding out it wasn't a fit.
Usually the same day, always within two business days. You'll hear back either way — no silence, no drip sequence.
If it looks like a fit, I'll send times. Short call, because I've already read your situation and we can spend it on the actual problem.
What's included, what isn't, who owns which decision, and what done looks like. Then you decide.
Some people don't want a process. They want to put a hard question in front of someone who has actually run a business, and get a straight answer this week.
Private Advisory — $2,500 for sixty minutes. No application, no qualifying, no scope document. You bring the question. I'll tell you what I'd do and why. If it turns into something bigger afterwards, the fee comes off the engagement.
Book the hourYou don't need a brief. Just tell me what's breaking.
