01

Briefing

Stan Consulting offers five engagement formats sitting behind one diagnostic. The Conversion Second Opinion is a $999 written diagnostic delivered in 72 hours and the standard entry. Revenue Sprint is a fixed-scope rebuild that follows the diagnostic. Consulting runs at four monthly tiers. Marketing System Build constructs the campaign and conversion architecture, with Strategic Partnership as the deeper variant.

Diagnosis decides the engagement.

02

The five formats

Five engagement formats. One diagnostic at the front of all of them.

Each format has a stated scope, a stated fee, and a stated window. Pricing is shown once. Most clients begin with the diagnostic; some already know the format they need and start there.

01

System Build · Partnership

Scope-defined · Fit call

Marketing System Build constructs the campaign and conversion architecture as a scoped engagement. Strategic Partnership is the longer arrangement where the strategic layer of the marketing function is owned, with execution included.

Consulting Engagements

The operating principle

The right engagement is found, not chosen. The shape of the work follows what the findings surface, not what the brochure pre-selected.

01

Production is cheap.

Judgment is what costs.

02

Findings rank fixes

by revenue impact, not preference.

end at the diagnostic. The rest cascade.

The cascade

From diagnosis to engagement, in one route.

Most clients begin with the Conversion Second Opinion. Findings route the engagement to the format that fits the situation. The cascade is delivered through the diagnostic itself; the site only shows that the cascade exists.

The process

What happens, in order, inside each format.

The shape is the same across all five formats: scoping, work, delivery, handover. The substance changes per format. The shape does not.

01 · Conversion Second Opinion

A

Intake

The form opens the engagement. Platforms named, read access granted. Work begins on access confirmation.

B

Diagnosis

Account architecture, conversion paths, attribution, feed, and creative reviewed against the standard fault list.

C

Report

Written report with a prioritized fix list. Each item ranked by revenue impact and effort to resolve.

D

Decision

Findings get implemented in-house, or route into Sprint, Consulting, or Build. The diagnostic ends here either way.

02 · Revenue Sprint

A

Scope

Diagnostic findings translate into a scoped sprint. Deliverables, fee, and window stated before the work begins.

B

Build

Account restructure, conversion fixes, measurement layer rebuilt to a working state. Concentrated work over a defined window.

C

Verification

The rebuilt system runs for a week. Tracking confirms what the diagnostic predicted. Notes recorded for handover.

D

Handover

The sprint ends. The system runs in the client's hands, or transitions to a Consulting tier if continuing involvement is the right answer.

03 · Consulting Engagements

A

Tier selection

The fit call confirms which of the four tiers matches the cadence and scope the situation requires.

B

Cadence

The agreed cadence runs: monthly review, biweekly working session, weekly involvement, or full strategic ownership.

C

Decision support

Strategic decisions are reviewed before they are taken. Documentation and rationale captured per session.

D

Reassessment

The tier is reassessed quarterly. Most engagements move down a tier as the function stabilizes, not up.

04 · Marketing System Build · Strategic Partnership

A

Architecture

The campaign and conversion architecture is designed against the diagnostic. The architecture document precedes the build.

B

Build

Tracking, attribution, account structure, landing pages, and creative pipeline implemented to the architecture.

C

Operating layer

The system runs. Cadence and ownership of the strategic layer defined: a build with handover, or a continuing Strategic Partnership.

D

Compounding

The system compounds. Quarterly review against commercial outcome. Strategic ownership remains in place under the partnership variant.

05

Direct answers

Questions about engagement structure, pricing, timeline, and refund.

Where do most clients start?

Most clients start with the Conversion Second Opinion. It is a $999 written diagnostic delivered in 72 hours. The findings determine which engagement format fits next, if any. About one in three engagements end at the diagnostic itself.

Can a business skip the diagnostic and go straight to a larger engagement?

Yes. Businesses that already know the work they need use the contact form to open a fit call. The fit call confirms scope and the engagement begins. The diagnostic is the default ramp because it removes risk on both sides, not because it is required.

How are Consulting tiers priced?

Consulting runs at four monthly tiers: Diagnostic Retainer at $1,500, Growth Advisory at $3,000, Embedded Strategy at $6,000, and Full Partnership at $12,000. Each tier defines cadence and scope. The diagnostic findings, or a fit call, determine the right tier.

What is the difference between Marketing System Build and Strategic Partnership?

Marketing System Build is a scoped engagement to construct the campaign and conversion architecture. Strategic Partnership is the longer arrangement where Stan Consulting owns the strategic layer of the marketing function, with execution included. Both are scoped on a fit call after diagnosis.

Is a long-term retainer required?

No. The Conversion Second Opinion is a one-time engagement with no retainer. Revenue Sprint is a fixed scope and a fixed fee. Consulting and Strategic Partnership are monthly arrangements with cadence and scope stated up front. Pricing is stated once and not explained.

Who delivers the work?

The strategic and diagnostic layer is led by the principal. Stan Consulting has execution capacity behind that to implement the roadmap when a build follows. The engagement letter names the responsible principal directly. Principal credentials and methodology are on the About page.

What happens if the diagnostic is not what was expected?

The Conversion Second Opinion includes a 24-hour refund window from delivery of the report. The refund is operational, not a marketing claim. Diagnostic-first engagement reduces risk on both sides because the visitor commits to a small scope before any larger arrangement is discussed.
