    Ongoing Systems Care

    Fractional Support & Monitoring

    Keep established workflows and integrations running smoothly with technical oversight.

    Investment

    $1,500/week typical starting rateCoverage and response terms agreed in the proposal

    Highlights

    • Fewer Disruptions: Catch workflow issues early and reduce interruptions to day-to-day work.
    • Timely Resolution: Investigate failures and make targeted fixes to get affected work moving again.
    • System Health: Get clear health updates and patches that address known issues and reduce repeat failures.

    Details

    If you wait

    Without oversight, integrations break quietly, and knowledge of how they work leaves with whoever built them.

    For businesses that rely on existing systems every day: a service company routing leads to its CRM, a retailer syncing orders and inventory, or a finance team processing invoices and billing. We can support systems we built, as well as systems built by other teams after a technical review.

    • Defined Coverage: Agree on the systems, monitoring, response expectations, and maintenance scope.
    • Third-Party Onboarding: Review external systems, access, and dependencies before taking on support.
    • Larger Builds: Scope major new workflows or product development through an Embedded Partnership or Enterprise Technology Team engagement.

Choosing the right path

PRICING FAQ

Questions before you commit

Are software, API, and infrastructure costs included?

External software, infrastructure, model, API, and platform costs are separate unless included in a proposal.

How are scope, payment schedule, and term set?

Every paid engagement defines responsibilities, scope, commercial terms, and client participation before it begins. Final capacity, scope, payment schedule, and term are stated in the proposal.

Should I choose weekly or monthly billing for an Embedded Partnership?

Weekly billing is flexible week-to-week delivery. Monthly partnerships may save up to 20% compared with equivalent week-to-week delivery. The comparison is against the same scope at the corresponding four-week weekly price; it is not a guaranteed discount for every agreement.

What happens if the scope grows?

Scope is agreed before work begins, and any extension is scoped separately. Scope major new workflows or product development through an Embedded Partnership or Enterprise Technology Team engagement.

Do we need discovery or technical planning first?

If deeper discovery or technical planning is needed before delivery, we can scope it separately as optional one-time work.

Is the free Workflow Audit required before a paid engagement?

No. The audit is not a prerequisite for a Strategy Call or any paid engagement.

Two ways to start

Not sure yet? Calculate your loss in 30 seconds

Strategy Call

For a broader business problem, product idea, or growth opportunity.

  • A direct conversation with our technical leadership
  • Your business problem, blockers, and desired outcome
  • A possible delivery path for the work
  • A recommended next step

Add a little context if you like; we review it before the call.

Free Workflow Audit

For a defined workflow bottleneck.

  • A focused review of the current workflow
  • The strongest improvement opportunity
  • A 20-minute review: join live, or get the recorded assessment by email right after
  • A recommended next step

The audit does not include detailed architecture or a complete implementation plan.

Neither entry path is a paid plan, and the audit is not a prerequisite for a Strategy Call or any paid engagement.
