Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't your exact retainer price published?
Foundational is published ($3,500). Active starts around $7,500/month but varies based on questionnaire volume, framework count, and India team size. Strategic is fully custom. Most prospects find the diagnostic clarifies the right tier within 90 minutes.

Do you offer discounts?
Annual prepay gets a 10% discount (effectively one month free). Otherwise no discounts — we’re priced for sustainability, not negotiation.

What about a free consultation first?
We don’t offer free consultations because they attract tire-kickers and produce worse outcomes than the paid diagnostic. The $999 diagnostic gives you a real deliverable regardless of whether you convert.

Can we do hourly?
No. Hourly attracts the wrong work and creates the wrong incentives. The diagnostic is fixed-fee; everything after is monthly retainer.

How does invoicing work?
Retainers are auto-billed on the 1st of each month via Stripe. Annual prepay is a single invoice. The diagnostic is paid upfront before the call books.

Do you accept INR?
Yes, for India-headquartered clients (rare in our ICP). For US clients, USD via Stripe. Wire transfer available for annual prepay.

Not sure which tier you need?

Start with the $999 diagnostic. It tells you honestly which tier fits — and whether you need one at all.
