Common Questions
Pricing FAQ
Why don't you bill hourly?
Because you're buying outcomes, not hours. Hourly billing incentivizes slow work. Value-based pricing means we're motivated to solve your problems as efficiently as possible — and our AI-integrated workflow lets us deliver 2–3x faster than traditional models.
Which engagement is right for my company?
If you need clarity on what's broken → start with the Ops Audit ($5K–$10K). If you know what's broken and need a plan → 90-Day Reset Lite ($18K). If you need someone to actually fix it → 90-Day Reset Full ($30K). If you need ongoing operational leadership → Fractional COO ($6K–$12K/mo). Not sure? Book a free discovery call and we'll diagnose it together.
What's included in the free discovery call?
A 45-minute "Ops Stress Test" where we identify your top 3 operational bottlenecks and give you an honest assessment of whether our services are the right fit. No pitch deck, no pressure — just a conversation.
Can I start with an Audit and upgrade to a Reset?
Absolutely. Many clients start with the Ops Audit to get clarity, then upgrade to a 90-Day Reset for implementation. If you upgrade within 30 days, 100% of your Audit fee is credited toward the Reset.
When will the DIY AI Tools be available?
The free Ops Readiness Score and SaaS Stack Calculator are live now at groundworkops.io/tools. The paid Pro tier with Playbook Generator, OKR Builder, and Pipeline Diagnostic is targeted for Q2 2026. Join the waitlist to get early access.
How fast can you start?
Most engagements kick off within 5 business days of signing the SOW and receiving the kickoff payment. For retainers, onboarding typically takes one week before we're fully embedded.
