FAQ

Common questions about long-term partnership.

How is a partnership different from project-based work?
Projects have defined scopes and end dates. Partnerships are ongoing relationships with dedicated capacity for your store. You get consistent access to senior expertise, continuity across initiatives, and someone who understands your business deeply—not a different team for every project.
What does a typical partnership engagement look like?
Most partnerships include a monthly retainer for strategic guidance and execution capacity, regular strategy sessions (typically bi-weekly or monthly), and priority access for urgent needs. The specifics depend on your needs—some stores want more hands-on execution, others want strategic oversight with their team doing implementation.
How do you handle requests outside the normal scope?
Partnerships include flexibility for evolving needs. Small requests fit within the regular engagement. Larger initiatives might require adjusting priorities or temporarily expanding capacity. We plan together so there are no surprises.
What's the minimum commitment for a partnership?
We typically ask for a 6-month initial commitment. This gives us enough time to understand your business deeply and deliver meaningful results. After the initial period, partnerships continue month-to-month with reasonable notice for either party to adjust.
