Full Operations Modernization
One done-with-you engagement: we analyze the entire operation, build the full document set into your Keystone tenant, provision and wire the connected systems, and support your team for two weeks while they put it in place. The aim is to get the daily operation off you: fewer calls routing back to you, and hours back in your week. Results depend on how your team implements, and we don’t guarantee outcomes.
Two anchor prices, plus 12 months of Keystone Pro (a $1,990 value) included at every tier. Multi-site and larger engagements are scoped; full pricing below.
We take a limited number of engagements at a time so each one gets our full attention and is built around your business. Applications are reviewed in the order received. We take the ones we are confident we can move and hold the rest for the next opening.
What it is
The Systems Sprint installs the operating layer around your single biggest constraint. Full Operations Modernization does it for the whole business: every core process analyzed and re-systematized, the strategy and culture written down, and the result stood up inside your Keystone tenant, so you finish already set up on the system, on Keystone Pro, as it launches. Done with you, over two weeks of support, not done for you.
Who this is for
What you get
Everything the Systems Sprint delivers, plus three document classes it never produces. Every asset lands as live configuration inside your Keystone tenant, so the operation keeps working after we step back.
Which decisions you keep and which your team owns, written as real lines. Lands in the Decision Routing Engine.
The procedures the business runs on, written so a manager can follow them. Lands in the AI SOP Generator library.
The numbers your managers own and the weekly standup you review them in. Lands in Manager Standup.
The short list of numbers that tell you the business is healthy without you in it daily. Lands in the Weekly Owner Brief and Owner Intelligence Dashboard.
Where the business is going and the few moves that get it there, written down instead of carried in your head.
How the team is expected to work when you are not in the room, so the standard survives turnover.
The prioritized changes your team implements, sequenced so the first ones make room for the rest.
The valuation baseline is set from your Keystone diagnostic and tracked in the Value Tracker. Nothing is delivered that lives outside the app.
How the price compares
Getting an operating system installed and the operation actually running is usually a monthly relationship: a fractional COO, a packaged operating-system implementation, a boutique overhaul. Together they span roughly $15,000 to $90,000, and they keep billing. Full Modernization is one fixed engagement: you pay once, your team implements, and the durable system is Keystone, which you keep.
Every option above is a monthly or first-year relationship that starts higher than our one-time price and keeps billing. Ours is paid once. The durable system, Keystone, is yours to keep.
Market ranges reflect published 2024–2025 pricing for engagements that do related work (installing an operating system and helping run the operation): fractional-COO and integrator retainers, packaged operating-system implementations, and boutique operations-overhaul projects. They are illustrative of those categories, not quotes, offers, or claims about any specific firm; actual third-party pricing varies. Our prices are fixed and canonical.
The systems we connect
On top of the connected core, a fixed shortlist across the systems a home-services business actually runs on: added field-operations capacity, reviews and reputation, phone and VoIP, CRM and marketing, payroll and HR. Each is installed to a standard playbook rather than improvised per client. We work from a defined shortlist, not a per-client tool hunt, and we do not build custom software for one business.
Keystone is our own product. This engagement always sets your business up on it, and we profit when you subscribe. We recommend it because the system we build for you has to live somewhere that keeps working after we step back. But you should know our interest.
How it works
We provision the core accounts and wire the connected systems into your Keystone tenant, and we produce the documents. The hands-on implementation is your team’s: we don’t migrate your historical books, stand up your live dispatch, or run your hires.
Pricing
A deep remote intake, done virtually. Available anywhere.
On-site process observation, anywhere in the US. We travel to you and spend a day inside the operation watching how the work actually runs. That is the read a remote intake can’t give. Travel is reimbursed at cost, on top of the fee.
The examples above are illustrative, not a quote or an offer. Final pricing is set after a scoping conversation and depends on the factors listed. Actual quotes may run higher or lower.
What grounds this
We don’t guarantee a business outcome. The engagement delivers a system your team implements; results depend on that implementation and on factors outside our control.
Every deliverable is a recommendation. You remain solely responsible for implementing it and for the decisions you make.
The engagement is built as a versioned method, a repeatable procedure rather than one person’s improvisation. Nothing in it computes or adjusts your valuation: the diagnostic is completed once and displayed, never reworded.
The Keystone valuation is an estimate, not a formal appraisal. It is a data-calibrated range built from the diagnostic, useful for knowing your number and what moves it. For an actual transaction, work with a certified business valuator or M&A advisor.
We do not publish testimonials or case studies until a client is thriving, has a real measured gain, and has given written consent. Until then, the data above is the proof.
Apply
We take a limited number of engagements at a time. Each one is built around your business, not a template, and gets two weeks of direct, hands-on work while your team puts it in place.
