Strategic OS v2.0

Plans

Start free. Pay when it starts leaving the building.

The diagnostic modules are free forever, with no card and no expiry. Paying unlocks the rest of the system and, more usefully, the report you can put in front of a client.

Billing

Individual

$199/ month

$2,388 a year · cancel any time

For the strategist who owns the recommendation.

Every model, unlimited scenarios, and the Master Report every module writes into — the thing you actually present.

·Every model in the system
·Unlimited runs and saved scenarios
·Master Report and PDF export
·Extra seats at $159 a month each
·New models included as they ship

About two hours of billable time a month. The models behind it took thirty years of published research and rather longer than two hours to build.

Agency

$9,850/ year

Up to 10 seats · $82 per seat a month

For teams running effectiveness across several clients.

Everything in Individual for ten people, a shared report library so work doesn't live on one laptop, and time with me to get the team using it properly.

·10 seats
·Shared report library
·20 hours of strategic support a year
·We build your first client reports with you
·Priority response

Under five people, individual seats cost less. We'll say so rather than let you overpay.

Managed

From $36,000/ year

Per brand · $9,000 a cycle · four clients at a time

For teams that want the analysis without running the platform.

The same models, operated by me on a quarterly cadence. You hand over the data and get board-ready outputs back with written interpretation rather than a folder of charts. It is the platform delivered as a service, not a consulting engagement.

·Quarterly full-suite analysis
·Data cleaning and preparation
·Written interpretation of every output
·Presentation-ready decks
·60-minute walkthrough per cycle
·Bespoke modules on request
·Platform seats for your team included

Four brands at a time, because it is my time rather than server time. If you need someone in the room defending the number as well, that is Advisory.

These are the diagnostics, plus the two models that size the budget. They'll tell you whether you have a problem, roughly where it sits, and what the numbers can carry. The paid models decide how to spend it: channel mix, flighting, payback and causal measurement.

Beyond the platform

Some problems need more than a subscription. Two other ways to work together, priced openly for the same reason the plans above are.

Advisory

Have the work done for you

A fixed-price diagnostic on your own spend, a monthly retainer, or a pitch reviewed before a client picks it apart.

Training

Teach the team to do it

Seven modules built from the primary literature, taught against your own numbers rather than a case study.
