Ways to work together

Different entry
points.
Same work.

I work with founders of companies with $1-3M in annual revenue, who appear calm on the outside but are exhausted from endlessly sprinting as the Chief Everything Officer. I use my ATLAS framework to transform their internal chaos into clear strategy, putting them firmly in the CEO seat to confidently scale their business to $5-10M+.

Every engagement begins with The Orientation. This is not a formality. It is the diagnostic that makes the rest of the work possible.

01

The
Orientation

Entry point $777

The way in.

Ninety minutes where I ask and you talk. You do not need to prepare anything or have it figured out.

You leave with a written brief mapping what is actually holding your company together, what is broken, what does not exist yet, and what to address first. It is yours whether or not we work together again.

Brief lands the Friday of the following week. Review call the Monday after that.

The Orientation is where we find the actual problem. Most founders arrive thinking they know what it is. They are usually right about the symptoms and wrong about the source. Which engagement comes next — The Groundwork, The Rebuild, or The Blueprint — is what the brief tells you.

02

The
Groundwork

Focused engagement $6,700

One area. The one that's holding everything else up.

For the founder whose strain is concentrated in one area rather than running through the whole company. One function, one decision, one part of the business that is holding everything else up.

You stop guessing at the part that has been slowing everything down. You leave knowing what is actually holding that area together, why it keeps routing back to you, and what to do first.

Usually includes intensive design work with you and a structural read of the one area under strain. May involve naming what does not exist yet, sequencing what gets built first, or clarifying where decisions are supposed to land.

Which one you need, this or The Rebuild, is what The Orientation tells you.

Delivery

Ninety days. Delivered virtually. In-person delivery available for an additional $5,000.

03

The
Rebuild

Depth engagement $12,000

For the founder who has been sprinting since day one and now needs to run a marathon.

Still the Chief Everything Officer, still the bottleneck in your own success, running a company built for the next stage from a system designed for the last.

This engagement structurally interrupts the patterns leading to burnout, allowing you to reclaim your time, energy, and focus for the highest-value work.

Usually includes intensive design work with you, a structural read of what is actually holding the company together, and the first structural moves to get you out of the center. May involve work on decision rights, delegation, what you stop doing entirely, or how the work moves between the people already carrying it.

Includes three check-ins after the intensive so the structure gets adjusted while it is being lived in rather than left to hold on its own.

Delivery

Ninety days. Delivered virtually. The intensive can be delivered in person for an additional $5,000.

"If you are recognizing you need help and feel like your ways of working are no longer serving you, Alison has a way of helping you shatter the mental barriers your brain has created and helping you work through strategies for creating new pathways and approaches to problem solving."

Chris Buckley, VP of Operations, Pedal Movement

The
Blueprint

Organizational $25,000

For the founder where the bottlenecks are coming from everywhere at once.

The problem lives across your team, not only in your own head. Decision-making is diffuse, accountability is unclear, and you have been holding it together on instinct. The instinct was good. It got you here. But nothing has been formally set.

This engagement delivers a structure that your team can run without you in the room, building it with the people it lands on so the work keeps moving when you step out. You stop being the architect of your own time and become the architect of the company.

Usually includes individual sessions with the people the work actually routes through, intensive design work with you, and a build session with your team that turns the design into experiments they own. May involve decision rights, handoff protocols, or how your team's recurring work gets run without you. Includes check-ins across the ninety days as the structure gets lived in and reconfigured.

Additional areas of focus can be added where more than one part of the business is holding everything up, at $6,700 per area. An area is a part of the business with its own owner and its own decisions. If nobody owns it, it is not an area.

Delivery

Ninety days. Delivered virtually. Build days can be delivered in person for an additional $5,000.

On the proof

The Operations Director at Pedal Movement came in thinking he had a confidence problem. He left with structural infrastructure that did not exist before. The confidence was a byproduct of the structure working. Over a three-year relationship: employee survey participation went from 40% to 96%, the company ran its first internally generated, data-backed operational research study, manager meeting structure was rebuilt across the team, and four working tools were delivered that the team owns and runs independently. ATLAS was built out of that work.

"I told you I wanted to burn it down. My business. Everyone else in my life had cautioned me not to. You were the first person to say 'what are we going to use? how are we going to do it?' That was incredibly freeing."

Claire Beaumont, Founder, Foreverywear

Scope

What is
in the
room.

The work is operations, systems and process. How decisions get made, who owns what, how work moves between the people carrying it.

What is in scope is the architecture underneath every function. Not marketing strategy, but why marketing cannot move without you in the room.

Not sure which one

Ask yourself
these
questions.

Is it one thing, or is it everything?

If you can point to the part of the business that is dragging, that is The Groundwork.

When you step away for two weeks, what breaks?

If the answer is a specific function, one thing — The Groundwork. If the answer is a shrug, everything — The Rebuild or The Blueprint.

Are your people waiting on you, or waiting on each other?

If everything is queued up on your approval, The Rebuild. If they are capable and still stalling on each other because nobody is sure who decides what, The Blueprint.

Is the problem in your head, or in the room?

If the plan lives with you and nobody else can act on it, The Rebuild. If it needs to get built with the people carrying it, The Blueprint.

Who this is for

You'll
recognize
yourself
here.

  • The founder who built a playbook for crisis, and it stopped working in scale

    You survived the hard part. Now the things that got you here are quietly getting in the way.

  • The senior leader whose role has outgrown its structure

    You're responsible for more than you can shape. Decisions are slowing down. Authority has drifted somewhere you can't quite locate.

  • The capable one who keeps being told to work on themselves

    You've done the coaching. You've read the books. Something structural is still broken and nobody is looking at it.

  • The team that's scaling faster than its clarity

    Great people. Everyone working hard. And somehow still not moving as fast as you should be.

  • The person who already knows something needs to change

    You don't need to be in crisis to work with me. You just need to be honest about what's not working.

Not sure
which one
fits?

That's what the first conversation is for. Tell me what's going on and I'll tell you where I think we should start. No pressure to commit to anything before that.

If you're early stage and budget is a real constraint, say so. I'd rather have that conversation than lose someone who needs this to sticker shock.
