Professional Consulting Services
Strategic guidance, not just execution. Three focused tracks - IT Infrastructure, Website Strategy, and AI Adoption - each delivered as actionable artifacts you can hand off to any team.
Every track starts with a free initial consultation
No-charge discovery call to confirm fit and quote scope before the meter starts. A portion of consulting fees can credit toward implementation if you decide to move forward on a productized service with us.
Pick Your Track
Three focused practice areas. Different rates reflect different depths of specialization.
IT Infrastructure Consulting
$60/hrFor businesses standing up new IT or scaling existing systems. Roadmaps, security audits, vendor selection.
- Technical roadmaps
- Security audits
- Vendor + tool selection
- Workflow + automation strategy
How Consulting Works
Same 4-step shape across all three tracks.
Free initial consultation
No-charge discovery call to confirm fit and scope. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
Discovery + assessment
Document your environment, contracts, and goals. Surface the highest-leverage interventions.
Strategy + artifacts
Recommendations delivered as concrete documents - roadmaps, audits, comparison matrices, action lists.
Optional implementation support
Continue with us on a retainer, hand off to your team, or move to one of our productized services.
You Walk Away With Real Artifacts
Strategic guidance with concrete deliverables - not just opinions in a meeting. Each track produces documents you can hand off to any team or vendor.
IT track
Roadmap docs, security audits, vendor matrices, BoM
Website track
SEO roadmap, conversion plan, UX audit, local visibility playbook
AI track
AI adoption roadmap, tool comparison, privacy assessment, training plan

Frequently Asked Questions
Consulting delivers strategy, artifacts, and decisions. Managed services execute. Many clients start with a consulting engagement to clarify direction, then move to one of our productized services (New Business Startup, Webmaster Support, Local AI Installation, WTS Business OS) for execution. Some keep us on retainer for ongoing strategic guidance.
A portion of consulting fees can credit toward implementation if you proceed with us on a project. Specifics depend on scope - we'll confirm in writing before any implementation work begins.
Remote by default - video call with screen sharing for live walkthroughs. On-site is available for local clients (Ohio + nearby) and when physical infrastructure assessment is needed.
No. Start with a single 2-hour session for a focused decision, or commit to multi-week retainers for ongoing strategic guidance. You scale up or down anytime.
AI is a fast-moving specialty - privacy, tooling, prompts, agents, fine-tuning, evals, and architectural patterns evolve monthly. The premium reflects the depth of expertise + ongoing learning needed to give actionable guidance instead of repeating last year's playbook.
Not sure which track fits?
Most engagements span more than one track (IT + Website is common; Website + AI overlaps for content workflows). Tell us your situation - we'll recommend the right starting track on a free initial call.
