OPS Embedded
COO horsepower without a full-time hire.
For founder-led operators who need real COO presence — in the L10, on dispatch calls, owning the rocks. Six-month minimum. Capped at 30 hrs to keep margins honest.
The problem this solves.
You hit the ceiling. Full-time COO is six months and $250K all-in.
You need somebody in the room next Monday, not Q3.
You want a real seat owned — not a "fractional advisor" who shows up for a Zoom and disappears.
What you get.
- ▣ Embedded in your L10 / weekly leadership cadence
- ▣ Operational scoreboard live and trusted
- ▣ Quarterly rocks shipped, not just listed
- ▣ Hire spec for your eventual internal COO (when the time comes)
Phase by phase.
-
Month 1
Diagnose. Sit in every meeting. Read every dashboard. Talk to every lead.
-
Month 2
Set the scoreboard. Lock the rocks. Take an owner seat operationally.
-
Months 3–6
Ship the rocks. Build the automations. Run the L10. Handoff plan if/when relevant.
Scope and price.
$6,000/month. 6-month minimum. Hours capped at 30/mo.
- Includes: full embedded presence inside the leadership cadence
- Does not include: replacing your CEO, customer-facing sales, HR/legal
- Effective rate: ~$200–$240/hr
Questions about this engagement.
Why is the cap 30 hours and not more? +
Because the highest-paying tier used to be the worst hourly rate. We cap intentionally — if you need more, you need a full-time COO and we will help you hire one.
EOS-fluent? +
Yes. If you run EOS, we sit the Integrator seat operationally. If you do not, we use what works without forcing a framework.
