What Happens After You Reach Out.
We do not pass your message to a sales representative or put you through a high-pressure sales funnel. Here is our exact intake protocol.
Forensic Review (< 24 Hours)
JC Burrows personally reviews your inquiry, company size, and stated operational friction. If you are evaluating a software contract, he examines the vendor's claims and pricing model.
Candid Written Assessment
You receive a direct written response. If your challenge can be solved with your existing database or a simple off-the-shelf automation, we tell you immediately with zero pitch.
30-Minute Architecture Sync
If there is genuine mutual alignment for a 150-Point Diagnostic Audit or Fractional CAIO retainer, we schedule a private 30-minute operational discovery call to define exact scope and timeline.
Frequently Asked Pre-Contact Questions.
Direct answers to common questions regarding confidentiality, engagement timelines, and advisory scope.
What details should I include in my initial message?
Keep it high-level: your industry, approximate company revenue or team headcount, and the primary manual bottleneck or software decision your executive team is facing. You do not need to share confidential trade secrets or sensitive database credentials in your initial note.
Can we execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before discussing proprietary systems?
Yes. All initial discussions are conducted under strict mutual confidentiality standards. Before accessing internal databases, reading vendor contracts, or auditing operational workflows, we routinely execute a mutual NDA to protect your proprietary data and trade secrets.
How quickly can a Diagnostic Audit or Fractional CAIO retainer begin?
Diagnostic Audits ($999 flat fee) typically initiate within 3 to 5 business days of scope approval and complete within 5 to 7 business days. Fractional CAIO retainers ($7,500/mo) are subject to active client capacity (strictly capped at 4–5 clients nationwide) to ensure high-touch executive integration.
What if I only need a single software sales pitch or vendor contract vetted?
The 150-Point Diagnostic Audit ($999) is designed specifically for this scenario. It includes forensic vendor contract analysis, hidden fee exposure, and Section 7 of our Findings Report ('What We Recommend Against'). If you subsequently engage under our Fractional CAIO retainer within 30 days, 100% of the audit fee is credited toward your retainer.
