Build the business behind your expertise.

You have the skills. You have the clients. What you do not have is a business that runs like one. The Business Operating System Sprint builds the infrastructure around your expertise: your offers, your client journey, your operating stack, your AI-enabled workspace, and your launch plan. Fixed scope. Four to six weeks. You own everything when we are done.

Who this is for

Independent consultants, coaches, and advisors formalizing a practice. First-time founders who have clients but not a business. Transitioning corporate professionals building a solo practice. Executive coaches, fractional executives, and service professionals who need a real operating foundation.

What you get

Six deliverable areas, each documented and owned by you at handoff:

  • Business architecture — Define your ideal client, positioning, priorities, and the decisions that shape the operating model.
  • Offers and pricing — Create a clear offer catalog, pricing logic, scope boundaries, and buyer path.
  • Client journey — Map inquiry, qualification, proposal, onboarding, delivery, invoicing, and follow-up.
  • Minimum viable stack — Select the essential tools for booking, payments, documents, files, and task management, without premature complexity.
  • AI-enabled workspace — Install reusable context, instructions, prompts, and playbooks, typically in Claude when that is the right fit.
  • Launch and visibility plan — Establish public-identity requirements, initial market actions, a 90-day priority plan, and a simple scorecard.

How it works

A focused four-phase sprint with decisions, implementation, and handoff:

  1. Align — Clarify goals, constraints, audiences, existing assets, and required decisions.
  2. Architect — Define positioning, offers, pricing, and operating model.
  3. Install — Build the essential workflows, client journey, and the AI workspace and reusable playbooks.
  4. Activate — Prioritize launch actions, document ownership, and hand off the system.

Investment

Starting at $4,500. Typical sprint is 4–6 weeks. Remote or Pittsburgh-area in person. No required retainer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this business coaching?

It combines strategy, structured decision-making, and implementation. It is a fixed-scope build engagement rather than open-ended coaching.

Do I have to use Claude?

No. AI is an enabling layer, not the product. Claude is often a strong fit for the operating workspace, but recommendations depend on your needs, tools, and data requirements.

What is included?

A typical sprint covers business architecture, offers and pricing, the client journey, the minimum viable operating stack, an AI-enabled workspace, reusable playbooks, and a launch or visibility plan. Your statement of work defines the final deliverables.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

A typical sprint runs for 4–6 weeks and starts at $4,500. Complexity, existing assets, and implementation requirements determine the final scope and fee.

Does this include legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice?

No. The sprint can identify requirements and prepare working materials for review, but qualified professionals must provide legal, tax, accounting, medical, or compliance advice.

Is an ongoing retainer required?

No. The sprint is a fixed-scope engagement. Additional help can be scoped separately if you need it.
