Help me choose →The IronAxis method
From diagnosis to durable performance.
Every engagement follows the same practical logic. The scope changes; the discipline does not.
Align
Define the real outcome, the decision-maker, and why the work matters now.
Diagnose
Find the constraints, risks, evidence gaps, and highest-value opportunities.
Design
Build the operating solution, measures, responsibilities, and implementation plan.
Mobilize
Put owners, routines, controls, and visible follow-through into motion.
Sustain
Review performance, strengthen what works, and transfer usable capability.
A clear buying decision
Know what each option is—and is not.
Hourly support is intentionally narrow. Assessments and partnerships are designed for complete outcomes, not a pile of disconnected hours.
| Option | Best when | What you receive | Commercial model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance Assessment | The pressure is visible, but the cause or sequence is not. | Diagnosis, Business Performance Index, executive findings, priorities, risks and 90-day plan. | Fixed engagement $3,500–$5,000 typical |
| Performance Partnership | Leadership wants recurring help implementing and sustaining change. | Executive cadence, KPI management, decision support, accountability and rolling execution. | Monthly partnership $2,500–$6,000/month |
| Hourly Advisory | One question or operating decision can be defined before work begins. | Focused advice and a concise action record. No complete assessment or bundled implementation. | Time and materials $100/hour; two-hour initial minimum |

One partner across the operating system.

What is the best first step?
If you are not sure where the problem starts, book the free 20-minute review or begin with the Business Performance Assessment. If you have one tightly defined issue, focused hourly advisory may be enough.
Why is hourly advisory not included in every project?
Hourly advisory solves a narrow question. A complete assessment, custom system, or implementation engagement requires defined deliverables, evidence review, quality control, and accountability that should be priced around the outcome—not disconnected hours.
What does $100 hourly consulting include?
It includes focused preparation, the advisory session, and a concise action record for the defined issue. New clients begin with a two-hour minimum. Complete assessments, custom deliverables, website production, travel, and implementation are scoped separately.
Can hourly work become a larger engagement?
Yes. If the issue proves broader than expected, IronAxis will explain why and propose the smallest appropriate fixed project or partnership before additional work begins.
Can a company purchase a website without consulting?
Yes. Website design remains available as a standalone defined project. It is presented separately so a business shopping for strategic or operating support is not distracted by an unrelated price comparison.
Does IronAxis work only with local companies?
No. IronAxis serves owner-led companies across the East Coast and can work remotely nationwide. On-site support is available when the scope and location make it practical.
The next step should be simple
