Systems Dispatch

Follow the thinking
before it's packaged.

The Dispatch is the internal operating log — live decisions, what's been revised, what failed, what I'm still figuring out. This form takes two minutes. It helps me write to the right person.

One or two sentences is enough. I use this to calibrate the Dispatch — not to screen you.
Optional — but useful for knowing what angle to write from.

What happens next: I review your intake and send a subscription payment link within a few hours. Once payment is confirmed, you're in — first issue delivered immediately. Cancel any time, no questions.

Intake received.

I'll review your submission and send an invoice to your email within 24 hours. The audit and live session are scheduled once payment is confirmed.

Next step: check your inbox for your invoice.
Session scheduling follows payment confirmation.
Content System Audit

Map your setup.
I'll diagnose what's broken.

A focused 60-minute live review of your current content architecture, followed by a written audit with a prioritised action list. The more specifically you describe your setup here, the more targeted the session will be.

$297 one-time 60-min live session Written audit + action list 1 week async follow-up
0 of 16 fields filled
Products, services, prices — be specific. This is how I calibrate the audit to your actual revenue model.
List the tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Jasper) and roughly what you use them for.
Be direct. "I don't know where to start" is a real answer — but the more specific you are, the more targeted the session.
What would you be able to do differently after the session that you can't do clearly now?
Constraints, unusual context, things you've already tried. Optional.

What happens next: I review your intake and send an invoice within 24 hours. Once payment is confirmed, I'll reach out to schedule your 60-minute session. The written audit with priority action list is delivered within 3 business days of the session, followed by one week of async email follow-up.

Application received.

I'll review your submission and respond within 3 business days. If it's a fit, I'll send a project agreement and invoice. If it's not, I'll tell you why and point you to a better starting point.

Intake reviews are not first-come-first-served — fit matters more.
Content OS Build-Out

Four weeks to build
a system that runs.

This is an application, not an order form. Spots are limited and I'm selective — not because I'm precious, but because the build only works if you're ready to execute alongside me. Answer thoroughly.

$1,500 · 4-week project 4 × weekly calls Custom templates + async support 30-day post-build check-in
0 of 18 fields filled
Products, services, prices, audience. Be specific — this is how I calibrate what system to build.
Revenue stage, how long you've been operating, what's working, what's broken. Be honest — this is not a pitch for me to evaluate your business value.
Be honest about frequency and quality. "I published three times in six months and hated all of it" is useful information.
Any project management, writing, scheduling, AI, or automation tools. Doesn't have to be sophisticated.
Be specific. Revenue, audience size, lifestyle — what changes?
What happened? What did you take from it? What didn't work?

What happens next: I review every application personally and respond within 3 business days. If it's a fit, I'll send a project brief, agreement, and invoice. If it's not — or the timing isn't right — I'll tell you that directly and suggest an alternative entry point. Applications are not first-come-first-served.

Retainer spots are limited — currently reviewing for next quarter.
Systems Partner Retainer

Ongoing access.
Strategic oversight, consistently.

This is for operators whose systems are already running — not still being built. You need a consistent strategic thinker in your corner without the overhead of a full-time hire. Answer as if you're briefing a new partner.

$750 per month Monthly strategy call 2 async threads/week · 48hr response Ongoing system iteration
0 of 16 fields filled
Revenue stage, team size (if any), business model specifics. Be complete.
What does your actual weekly workflow look like? Tools, formats, platforms, frequency.
AI tools, scheduling, CRM, automation (Make, n8n, Zapier), email platform, etc.
This is not "what's broken" — it's what ongoing strategic oversight looks like for your situation specifically.
How do you work best? Are you a voice note person, a long email person, a structured call person?

What happens next: I review every retainer enquiry personally and respond within 3 business days. Spots are limited and reviewed quarterly. If there's a fit and capacity, I'll send a retainer agreement and onboarding brief. If not, I'll tell you directly — and typically suggest the Build-Out as a better entry point.

Application received.

I'll review your submission within 5 business days. The cohort is capped at 8 — if you're a fit and there's a spot, I'll send an acceptance and invoice. If not, I'll let you know and keep you on the waitlist for next quarter.

Applications reviewed within 5 business days.
Cohort cap: 8 operators per quarter.
Systems Lab — Quarterly Cohort

A closed group.
8 operators. One quarter.

The Lab is for operators who learn faster alongside others who are building seriously. Monthly group strategy sessions, quarterly architecture reviews, and first access to frameworks before they're packaged into products. Applications are competitive — answer as if the quality of this form determines your spot, because it does.

Be specific. "I write occasionally" is not a system. Describe what actually exists — even if it's minimal.
I'm genuinely asking — the Lab has a different dynamic than private work. What do you get from the cohort that you wouldn't from solo coaching?
The Lab compounds because people show up properly — not just to consume. What perspective, experience, or openness do you bring?

What happens next: Applications are reviewed within 5 business days. The cohort is capped at 8 operators per quarter — I evaluate for fit and contribution, not just interest. If accepted, I'll send a cohort welcome brief and invoice. If there's no spot this quarter, I'll place you on the waitlist for the next and let you know what to expect.
