Project Sprint
Fixed-scope engagement for one acute problem: a channel launch, platform migration, or subscription setup. Two to four week delivery.
How it works
Three steps from signed to sorted.
No long onboarding, no discovery treadmill. You move at the speed you want.
Book or join
Pick the tier that fits where you are today. Audit Sprint if you need a fast read on what's broken. Community if you want the room first. Retainer when you're ready to move.
We assess your stack
We go through your paid channels, Shopify config, app stack, and retention gaps. No discovery calls stretched to fill the hour. Five business days or less; a written assessment either way.
You get an action plan and ongoing access
A prioritized written action plan lands in your inbox. Retainer clients keep the channel open: async Q&A, campaign briefs, bulk edits, monthly priority call. Advisory that moves when you do.
Fit check
Is this for you?
Most advisory services keep their criteria vague. We keep ours short.
Right fit
You are exactly who we built this for.
- 20 to 200 person brand
- Shopify-native stack
- Active paid ads spend
- Scaling ops or tech
Shopify Plus and standard merchants alike. The common thread is real revenue and real ops complexity.
Not the right fit
We are the wrong call if any of these land.
- Pre-revenue or early-stage
- Pure enterprise (1,000+ seats)
- Agencies seeking white-label
No hard feelings. A funded enterprise or a solo pre-launch founder needs a different kind of help than what we give.
Pick the tier that fits your moment.
No long-term lock-in on the retainers. Start with an Audit Sprint if you want signal before committing.
