How We Work Together

Three ways into the work,
priced for the depth they require.

Some engagements are scoped and time-bound. Some are built for the long game. The tier signals depth, ownership, and how much of the firm a single client occupies — not whether you're allowed to apply.

Common Questions

What people ask before applying.

What's the difference between the two retainer options?
The Fractional Operator Retainer is embedded, hands-on work — Khizer is inside your tools and team, owning projects and building systems, up to 20 hours a month. The async retainer is a thought-partnership: you text or send a voice memo when something needs thinking through, and you get a considered reply within 48 hours. Many clients start async and move to fractional as the work deepens.
Do you only work with Bay Area companies?
No. The firm was founded in the Bay Area and Khizer is based there, but we work with founders, operators, and growing teams worldwide. Most engagements run async, with the occasional intensive in person when it earns its travel.
How is coaching different from advisory?
Advisory is decision support — you have a question, we help you think it through. Coaching and accountability are about follow-through — the gap between the decision and the doing. Most senior leaders need both, but they hire for one and discover they needed the other.
Can we start with a smaller engagement and expand?
Yes, and most do. The async retainer or an accountability tier is often the first month, then a weekend intensive or build follows once the priorities are clear. The fractional operator engagement is rarely the first thing — it's where existing clients end up when the work goes deeper.
