What operators ask before signing
How long does the diagnostic interview take?
30 minutes of your operators' time. We handle the analysis, structuring, and report generation. You get the finished Friction Report within 72 hours.
What if we already know where the problems are?
Most operators have intuitions. The diagnostic confirms some, surfaces others they missed, and gives each problem a dollar figure and time cost. Knowing follow-ups are slow is different from knowing slow follow-ups cost you 14 hours a week and $9,200 in lost deals monthly.
Do we need to change our existing tools?
No. We build on top of whatever you already use. If you're in HubSpot, we deploy there. If you're in spreadsheets, we connect to those. The goal is zero disruption to your team's day-to-day while the new systems come online.
What does “fractional AI operator” actually mean?
It means we're a permanent part of your operations team, not a consultant who hands off a deck and disappears. We deploy, monitor, iterate, and expand. You get the benefits of having an AI operations lead without the full-time hire.
What if the Friction Report doesn't surface anything actionable?
That has not happened yet, and if it does, we refund the assessment fee in full. The diagnostic is calibrated to surface specific quantified bottlenecks, not generic “you should automate things” findings. If we cannot find at least three quantified opportunities, you do not pay.
Can we apply the assessment fee toward a deployment?
Yes. The full $2,000 is credited toward any Operator HQ deployment or retainer. If you continue with us after the report, you effectively get the diagnostic for free.
