Our operating model

We're not
a vendor.
We're in
the work.

Most agencies hand off a deliverable and disappear. We embed in the business, run the systems alongside you, and stay in the room until the work is actually running.

How we operate

The non-negotiables under every engagement. If you've worked with us, you've seen these in practice.

Four rules we hold ourselves to.

Rule 01

Numbers, not narratives.

Every engagement gets measured in real numbers, not slide decks. Retainer clients see a live one-page dashboard. Growth Kit users run the numbers themselves with a template we include.

Rule 02

Scope in writing.

Every engagement comes with a written scope before we start. If you ask for something outside it, we'll quote it as an add-on. Nothing moves without agreement on both sides.

Rule 03

You own the playbooks.

Every SOP, dashboard, and automation we build for you is yours to keep. If we part ways, the system stays with your business. No vendor lock-in, no walking away with your operations.

Rule 04

No lock-in on any track.

Sprints deliver and we hand off. The Growth Kit is yours forever the day you buy it. Retainers go month-to-month with 30 days notice after the first 90 days. Leave any time it stops being useful.

The rhythm
K

Growth Kit

A one-time delivery. You get a fully built site, brand system, ops configuration, a custom dashboard and a 20-minute training video for launch.

Yours to keep, no ongoing fees.

The cadence depends on which track you're on. Here's how each one runs, from the moment you sign to the moment we hand off (or keep going).

What working with us actually looks like.

S

Studio Sprint

Kickoff within 5 business days. Weekly milestone check-in throughout the sprint. Written handoff manual at the end so you own everything we built.

Fixed scope, fixed price, done in weeks not months.
R

Retainer

Daily: your VA runs the office. Weekly: 30-minute strategy call at higher tiers. Monthly: one-page scorecard on the first business day of the month.

Cadence you can plan around. Details on the Retainer page.
Being Honest

A few things we don't do, so we can do the rest really well.

Some agencies try to do everything. We don't. These four sit outside our scope, and we'll tell you that on the call.

Field labor

We don't run the trucks or dispatch the crew. You focus on the field work. We handle everything happening at the office and in the marketing.

Books, taxes, payroll

We handle A/R follow-up, invoicing, and cash-flow visibility. Bookkeeping, taxes, and payroll filings stay with your accountant.

Contracts and legal docs

Customer contracts, employment agreements, subcontractor paperwork. That's a lawyer's job. We'll set up the workflow that gets them signed.

Try to be everything

The Scope doc lists every in and out for every tier. We share it before you sign. No surprises in month three, no quiet additions.

I built these systems for my own cleaning business first. Two years later we crossed $1M and 80% of it was recurring. Same systems. Same playbook. That's what we install.
