One advisor with no stake in the answer
Owners and founders make a few decisions a year that are expensive to get wrong and slow to undo: what to build, which vendor to trust, who to hire, whether AI changes anything, how exposed the business really is. Almost everyone advising on those decisions is paid by the answer. I am paid only by you, and only to get it right.
Where I help
Proposals, contracts and vendors
Which quote is right, what each one assumed about you to reach its number, and how you get out if it goes wrong.
Software, AI and build or buy
Build, buy, change the process instead, or do nothing. The last two pay nobody, so nobody proposes them.
Apps and digital products
Whether you need one at all, the smallest version that proves it, and who should build it.
Security
What someone could actually do to your business through the software it already runs.
What being in your corner means
A consigliere does not run the business. The job is to make sure the person who does is never the least informed one in the room.
How we work
Every engagement is fixed fee with a defined end. No retainers, no open-ended hours. The Second Opinion settles one decision in two weeks for $5,000. The Production Security Assessment answers what someone could do to you, for $16,000. Compare the two.
CPAs, fractional CFOs and attorneys often see these decisions before anyone else does. Here is how referrals work.
