You are past the diagnostic and into execution. You want an advisor who already knows your business.
HARBOR Advisory is a fractional product-strategy retainer. Not execution, not project management. A trusted outside read on your growth, available between the moments you need it.
Why this is gated
Advisory is not an entry offer. It is the relationship that comes after a completed HARBOR engagement. Without prior work there is no shared context to advise from, and sessions become discovery calls that never end. A completed Sprint, Audit, Workshop, or Pilot gives the retainer something real to build on. That is why it sits apart from the five engagements rather than alongside them.
What the retainer covers
The scope is defined by deliverables, not hours.
- Four 60-minute working sessions a month, founder-led
- Async support between sessions, answered within two business days
- One major deliverable each quarter: a pipeline review, a pricing adjustment, a competitive update, or similar
- An annual Service-to-Product Fit (S2P) re-score on your active products
The commitment
Advisory runs on a three-month minimum, then continues month to month. The minimum exists because strategic advice compounds: the value of an advisor who has watched a quarter of your decisions is not the value of a single call. Three months is the floor at which the relationship becomes useful rather than transactional, and it is deliberately the shortest commitment that still gets you a quarter of evidence.
from $5,000/moa floor, not a quote
This is a floor, not a quote. Final scope depends on firm size, how many contract vehicles you hold, and how much of the work is already productized. We confirm the figure in writing before anything starts.
