A steady hand after the build.

A fractional product-strategy retainer for firms past the diagnostic and into execution. It is not execution and not project management: it is a trusted outside read on the decisions that come next.

Why this is gated.

Advisory is not an entry offer. It is the relationship that comes after a completed HARBOR engagement. Without prior work there is no shared context to advise from, and sessions become discovery calls that never end. A completed Sprint, Audit, Workshop or Pilot gives the retainer something real to build on.

What the retainer covers.

The scope is defined by deliverables, not hours.

  • Four 60-minute working sessions a month, founder-led
  • Async support between sessions, answered within two business days
  • One major deliverable each quarter: a pipeline review, an offer adjustment, a competitive update, or similar
  • An annual Service-to-Product Fit (S2P) re-score on your active products

The commitment.

Advisory runs on a three-month minimum, then continues month to month. The minimum exists because strategic advice compounds: the value of an advisor who has watched a quarter of your decisions is not the value of a single call.

The first conversation is about fit and capacity. If Advisory is not the right next step, we will say so and point at the engagement that is.

If you have completed a HARBOR engagement, or you are in one now, start a conversation. Tell us where you are and what the retainer would principally serve.
