Pricing

No hourly rates. No surprise invoices. Every engagement is fixed-price, fixed-scope.

We anchor pricing against a single comparison — the fully-loaded cost of hiring someone to do what the system does. Market data for a Procurement Operations Coordinator or Construction Operations Coordinator in the professional services and construction sector puts base salary between $62,000 and $103,000 annually. Add benefits, payroll taxes, workers' compensation, paid leave, and first-year recruiting costs and the fully-loaded number reaches $99,000 to $105,000 in year one — and $99,000 to $101,000 every year after that. The Growth Retainer is $36,000 per year. The math is not close.
