Choose a focused project or ongoing support, with the scope and terms clear before work begins. [Start with the free consult →](https://www.strataigize.com/audit/)[Compare engagements](https://www.strataigize.com/how-we-work/#ladder) The system ## From first conversation _to ongoing work._ Scroll to view all four stages → Review the four stages with your team. You can enter at the stage that fits the work you need. 01 ### Consult Discuss the problem and rank the next changes in a free 30-minute conversation with a founder. 02 ### Prove Start a focused project with its deliverables and acceptance criteria agreed before work begins. 03 ### Scale Continue with ongoing work where the results justify it. Each retainer has its own scope and initial term. 04 ### Compound Use what the work reveals to guide the next changes across marketing, product and operations. Ways to work together ## Choose the _engagement._ Compare the scope, duration, price and acceptance criteria. Each engagement has a page explaining the work and a form to ask about fit.

The right starting point depends on what is already working and what needs to change. Questions ## The system, _answered._ Do we have to enter the system at step one? No. Teams with a named constraint sometimes start at Prove, and teams with agents already running enter at Scale. The ladder is the default path because it protects you: every escalation of spend follows evidence from the step before it. What makes this different from an agency retainer pitch? You can buy a defined project without committing to ongoing work. The AI pilot has a written stopping rule, and you own every deliverable, including the agents. Standard retainers run month to month after three months. Managed Growth Operation has a six-month initial term, then runs month to month on 30 days’ notice. Why publish the prices on every step? So you can compare the scope, price and commitment before a call. Each engagement links to its own details, and the pricing page brings the ranges together. Who actually does the work? A founder stays on the account. The people are on the about page, and the case studies name the client and the result. Is it better to hire one agency for ads, SEO and development, or separate specialists? Use one team when work crosses campaigns, search, your website or product, and supporting systems. A specialist can fit a narrow scope when your team already owns the handoffs. Our app work is one example: the first Crush Crush users we bought returned 253% of ad spend by day 90. That was 55,978 installs from 1 to 30 May 2026, on $18,347 of spend. Published engagements ## Specific jobs with a published scope. Each page is one job, with the scope and the price written on it. - [A second brain for work](https://www.strataigize.com/lp/opportunities/ai-native-business/b/) - [A site built for leads](https://www.strataigize.com/lp/opportunities/ai-native-business/e/) -
