Many sources,
one shared core.

Your processes, reports, decks and website should all tell the same story. I find where they drift apart, agree on what each piece means, and make it clear to the people who rely on it. Flat fees where the work is defined, hourly where it isn’t.

Packages

Every package starts the same way, because I can’t promise an outcome before we’ve looked:

  1. Scope. A free 30-minute call and the checklist under each package. I write up what’s in and what’s out.
  2. Quote. A fixed price and timeline for that scope. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
  3. Work. A discovery tells you what’s actually happening and where to start; any fixes are scoped on their own. Design work is built to the scope you agreed.
Discovery

Process read

from $2,400 CAD · fixed quote after scoping

One process, read start to finish: how it actually runs, next to how it’s documented. You get what I find and where to start.

What you get

  • Conversations with the people who run it
  • A map of the process as it really works, beside the documented version
  • Where it leaks, and a short list of fixes in order
  • A one-page brief for leadership

Before we start, I’ll need

  • The process you want read, with a clear start and end
  • Time with the people who run it, 30 to 45 minutes each
  • Whatever documentation exists: procedures, templates, reports
  • One person on your side who can answer questions and open doors

Discovery

Organizational fluency

from $3,600 CAD · fixed quote after scoping

One shared language for the words your reports depend on.

What you get

  • Your 20 to 30 key terms and report fields, chosen with you
  • Where people disagree on them, where the meaning has drifted, and where no one owns them
  • One owner and one written rule for each
  • A definitions register your team keeps using

Before we start, I’ll need

  • The reports that matter most, and who reads them
  • Access to the people who own or feed each field
  • A recent copy of each report, or a sample of its data
  • One person on your side to make the call when owners disagree

Design

Communication & design

Make the work land: your brand, built into the presentations, diagrams and website you use every day. Choose the Brand system package or one piece at a time; each is scoped and quoted the same way.

Brand system package

from $4,800 CAD

Your brand built as one system: a brand guide, a presentation template and a website of up to five pages, words and design. Add the infographic library for $900.

Or one piece at a time

Core presentation template
$1,500 CAD
A PowerPoint template in your colours and type: 14 slide layouts and a 10-slide starter deck. The colours and fonts are built into the file, so it looks the same on Windows and Mac.
Infographic library
add $900 CAD
20 diagrams built into your template. One click switches them to your brand colours.
Website design
from $3,000 CAD
Up to three pages, about 20 hours. I write the words with you and design every page in your colours and type.

Before we start, I’ll need

  • Your logo, colours and fonts, or time to choose them together
  • For a website: your words, or time to write them together
  • One person who approves each round of changes

Every template starts from one of three directions: Consulting (geometric, technical, authoritative), Health & wellness (warm, organic, balanced) or Community & non-profit (vibrant, hopeful, strategic).

By the hour

General consult

$150 CAD an hour · 3-hour minimum

For a question that doesn’t fit a package yet. I look at the language, reports and playbooks your team works from, find where communication breaks down, and tell you what I’d change. If it grows into a Process read, the hours count toward it.
