HOW IT WORKS

Three phases. One simple commitment.

Every engagement follows the same structure — because it works, and because it puts both sides on equal footing from day one.

Competitive Advantage Diagnostic

Free

A structured examination of how you're currently winning work — and where the system is leaving money on the table. This is where we both decide if there's a fit worth investing in. No pitch. No obligation.

Engine Build

$0 / 30 days

If the diagnostic reveals a real opportunity, we architect and build your Work-Winning Engine — and launch it — within 30 days. Strategy, messaging, site, systems, creative. The full build at our cost. This is our earnest money: we invest our time because we've decided your business is worth building for. You pay nothing until the engine is live.

Run & Tune Together

$1,000 /month

Once the engine is live — not before — the partnership retainer begins. We monitor performance, tune targeting, strengthen conversion, and expand what's working. One year, together. The retainer isn't paying for our time. It's a mutual commitment that keeps both sides invested in results.

THE ONGOING PARTNERSHIP

WHY WE BUILD AT OUR COST

This isn't free work. It's earnest money.

We take on two to three clients per year. That's not manufactured scarcity — it's a constraint we chose because doing this right takes focus, and every engagement starts with us investing 30 days of intensive work before a dollar changes hands.

When we build your engine at our cost — and launch it — you see a live, working site producing results before you ever make a payment. That's not a trial period with a countdown clock. It's proof that we believe in what we built.

The $1,000/month retainer isn't compensation for hours worked. It's a commitment device — it says both sides are in. Just enough to mean something. Not enough to be a barrier.

"We don't work with everyone. We work with businesses we think are worth building for — then we put our own time on the line to prove it."

This model exists because we'd rather build a few engines that actually win than sell a hundred retainers that don't.

THE ONGOING PARTNERSHIP

What $1,000/month gets you

This isn't a maintenance plan. It's an active partnership with a team that's invested in your growth.

Continuous Optimization

We monitor what's working, identify what's not, and tune the engine for better targeting and stronger conversion — every month.

Content & Messaging

Ongoing content development, messaging refinement, and campaign execution. The engine stays sharp because the words stay sharp.

Analytics & Reporting

Clear, honest performance data. SEO, visibility, lead quality, and conversion tracking — so you always know what your investment is producing.

SEO & Visibility

Search optimization, LLM visibility, and the technical work that keeps your engine findable by the buyers who matter.

Direct Access

No account managers. No handoffs. You work directly with the same team that built the engine — Marv, Sanna, and Penn.

Strategic Expansion

As wins accumulate, we identify new opportunities, new services, new markets — and expand the engine to capture them.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers

Why do you build the engine for free?

It's not free — it's our investment. We spend 30 days building and launching your engine before you pay anything. We only do it when we believe the business has real growth potential. Think of it as earnest money: we put our time on the line because the diagnostic showed us something worth building for. You see real results before a single payment is due.

What if it doesn't work?

We don't take engagements where we think it won't. The diagnostic exists for exactly this reason — it's where both sides evaluate the opportunity honestly. If the fit isn't there, we say so. The clients we take on are ones where the system is designed to produce results.

Why only 2–3 clients per year?

Because doing this right takes focus. Every engine build starts with us investing our own time, and every ongoing partnership gets direct access to the team — not an account manager. We can't deliver that at scale, and we don't want to.

What happens after the first year?

You own the engine. If we keep working together, the partnership continues month-to-month at the same rate. If you're ready to run it independently, the system is yours — fully documented, fully functional, fully yours.

Is there a contract?

Yes — a one-year commitment for the Run & Tune phase, starting after the 30-day build is complete and your engine is live. We've invested 30 days of intensive work building the engine at our cost. The one-year partnership is the mutual commitment that ensures both sides have enough time to see real results.

$1,000/month seems low. What's the catch?

There's no catch. We're selective about who we work with, and the economics work because we're not running an agency with overhead, account managers, and dozens of clients. The retainer is a commitment device, not a compensation structure. We do this because we like doing it — and only for businesses we believe in.
