Engagement models

Choose the model that matches the constraint.

Advisory, Fractional Operator, or a 90-day Growth Sprint. Investment follows scope. KPI ownership is named from day one. Every engagement starts with a Revenue Strategy Call so you know the plan before you commit.

PE-backed and founder-led companies generating $10M–$100M in annual revenue. Select earlier-stage engagements are accepted when commercial complexity and scope justify embedded leadership.

Pick by the constraint you're under

Same rhythm on every model: diagnostic, cadence install, execution. Scope and depth change.

Models

Fractional engagement models and starting investment

PMGuru prices three models for $10M-$100M companies: Strategic Advisory from $7,500/mo, Fractional Operator from $15,000/mo (most common), and Growth Sprint from $20,000 per engagement. Same operating rhythm. Different depth.

Strategic Advisory

Starting at $7,500/month

I serve as a strategic sounding board for your executive team. Weekly cadence. For companies that have the team but need the framework.

Outcomes

  • Weekly strategy sessions with leadership
  • KPI dashboard review and course correction
  • KPI Tree and Revenue Cadence design
  • Async access for time-sensitive decisions
  • Monthly board narrative and metric pack structure

Choose this when

  • You have capable leads in product and sales but no shared scorecard or cadence
  • A leadership gap is temporary and you need frameworks, not a full embed
  • Board or PE wants operating rhythm and KPI trees without a long operator seat
  • You need async judgment on pricing, roadmap, or GTM calls between leadership meetings

Proof in this lane

Typical engagement: 3-6 months

Most Common

Fractional Operator

Starting at $15,000/month

I embed inside your organization and own the KPIs. I run the operating cadence, coach the team, and drive the numbers. Ongoing leadership. Scope evolves over the engagement.

Outcomes

  • Full revenue diagnostic and 90-day plan
  • Operating cadence design and installation
  • KPI ownership with weekly reporting
  • Team coaching and capability building
  • Product-revenue alignment

Choose this when

  • KPI ownership is unclear and revenue reviews keep ending without decisions
  • Product roadmap and sales execution point in different directions
  • Gross margin or funnel conversion is leaking and no one owns the fix
  • You need someone in the room running the cadence until the P&L moves

Proof in this lane

Typical engagement: 6-12 months

Growth Sprint

Starting at $20,000/engagement

Same operating model and accountability as Fractional Operator, focused on one revenue outcome in 90 days: post-acquisition integration, go-to-market rebuild, or turnaround. I map Invisible 40% leaks, build the live KPI Tree dashboard, and ship at least one working automation. Fixed scope, P&L accountability, clear exit.

Outcomes

  • AI data audit: map revenue leaks across CRM, marketing, and product data
  • Live KPI Tree dashboard built and tied to weekly revenue review
  • AI-native PM coaching: your leads ship prototypes, not static requirements
  • At least one production automation patching a named leak
  • P&L ownership, board reporting, and operator-led cadence for 90 days

Choose this when

  • Board or lender deadline in the next quarter and the story has to be credible
  • Post-close integration needs one revenue outcome owned end-to-end
  • GTM or product-sales reset has to ship in 90 days, not slide
  • Revenue leak is known but fixes sit in the engineering backlog
  • Turnaround or carve-out where scope and exit date are non-negotiable

Proof in this lane

Fixed scope: 90 days

What the board sees

Monthly updates in the format boards trust: 5 metrics actual vs plan, 2 risks with mitigation, 1 ask. I build the board deck or review yours. Boards lose trust when surprised. I make sure they are not.

Standard cadence: one page, monthly, before the meeting.

Custom

Custom scope

PE portfolio work, multi-company engagements, or non-standard cadence. I will design a model that fits.
