OPS Light

$2,000 per month

Steady, light-touch ops support — one area systematized at a time.

For founder-led operators who do not need an embedded COO, just somebody senior in the room weekly. Systematize one thing at a time. Three-month minimum.

⏱ 8–10 hrs/mo · weekly cadence ⛓ 3-month minimum
the.problem

The problem this solves.

You are the operating system. You want to stop being.

A full retainer is more than you need right now. You want a weekly hour with somebody who has seen this movie.

You will do most of the work — you need direction, not delivery.

Can I upgrade to OPS Active later? +

Yes. Most clients who start here either step up at month 3 or stay on Light long-term. Both are fine.
