OPS Active

$4,000 per month

Active build across process, tech, and accountability — the bread-and-butter engagement.

For founder-led operators with real build needs. Weekly working sessions plus project work between. Three-month minimum. Most clients land here.

⏱ 16–20 hrs/mo · weekly + project work ⛓ 3-month minimum
the.problem

The problem this solves.

You are running the business and the cracks are obvious — dispatch is fine, everything around it is not.

You do not have time to be the project manager, the systems builder, and the operator.

You want somebody senior who is going to actually do work — not just hand you a Notion template.

questions

Questions about this engagement.

How is this different from OPS Light? +

Light is direction. Active is direction plus delivery. If you want hands on the keyboard, this is the tier.

How many clients do you run on this tier at once? +

Hard ceiling of five. Usually three to four so the work stays real, not theater.
