Eligibility & pricing
Retainer scope, included deliverables, and professional qualifications are determined through a discovery conversation. We do not publish fixed prices because every organization’s needs differ. A retainer does not activate, and payment is not collected, until AMS approves the scope, an agreement is executed, and required payment is verified.
Flexible retainer model
- Monthly allocations generally range from 10 to 80 hours.
- Hours may be allocated among approved service areas; one shared hours bank applies to the agreed engagement.
- No duplicate billing for the same hours; responsibilities and deliverables are established in writing.
- Scope changes require mutual approval; additional work must be approved separately.
- High-complexity or executive-level work may require custom pricing.
Responsibility levels
- Advisory — guidance, consultation, research, and review; client retains execution.
- Professional Support — recurring administrative, analytical, documentation, and coordination activities.
- Management — oversight of designated workflows, reporting, deadlines, deliverables, and operational responsibilities.
- Fractional / Executive — part-time leadership, strategic planning, management accountability, and executive oversight.
