Here's what Caliet actually does.
Every Caliet engagement follows the same sequence. Discovery and the leak report come at no cost. Paid work begins only when you've picked the leak you want fixed — and we design the system to fix it.
Discovery
A direct, recorded conversation. The goal is to understand how the business actually runs and decide together whether there's a real fit.
- Honest questions about how the work comes in, gets priced, gets done, and gets paid for
- Where the owner's time goes and what's costing money
- Whether the findings are likely to surface leaks worth a paid solution design
The posture: honest. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
The leak report
A written diagnostic. Caliet listens to the discovery conversation, applies the operating frameworks, and names three to four candidate leaks in the business — with directional estimates of what each one is costing.
- Three to four named leaks, drawn directly from the discovery conversation
- Directional cost estimates for each — revenue, time, or operating capacity
- A recommendation on which leak is the right one to tackle first
- For each leak: a short description of what "fixed" looks like — the target state, in operational terms. Not how to get there, but where you'd land.
What this is: the leaks are named. The report tells you what's broken and what it's costing — not how to fix it.
Solution design
The findings named the leak. Solution design is the system that fixes it. Process, tooling, accountability, and the operating rhythm to make it stick.
Solution design considers all the levers — process redesign, tooling, role changes, automation, and AI where it genuinely fits. The leak determines the tools, not the other way around.
- Detailed workflow design and process documentation
- Tooling recommendations and configuration scope
- Role and accountability mapping
- Operating metrics and the rhythm to track them
- Rollout sequence and change management plan
What you get: a working solution on paper. Not a list of problems. Not a slide deck. A system your team can execute.
Two paths forward. You pick which one.
Solution design produces something concrete. From there, the work either runs through Caliet or stays with your team — with Caliet sitting side-seat. Both options are real. Neither is required.
Implementation
$10,000+ · 3–6 weeks · available when scope fits
Caliet executes the rollout directly. Best for solutions where the design and the build benefit from staying in one set of hands.
- Direct build of the designed system
- Tool configuration and integration
- Training and handoff to the client's team
- Scoped, fixed-price engagement
When this fits: the solution involves work within Caliet's direct expertise. We'll tell you on the design call whether this is the right path.
Implementation advisory
$3,500–$5,000 / month · optional
Your team executes. Caliet sits side-seat with standing check-ins, async support, and accountability while the rollout meets reality.
- Weekly working session with the owner or operations lead
- Async review of process changes, hiring decisions, tool configurations
- Course corrections as the rollout meets reality
- Month-to-month, no long-term contract
The boundary: Caliet advises. Your team executes. This is not staff augmentation.
Reduced rates for the first 10 clients.
Caliet Advisory is offering founding partner pricing to a limited number of early clients. Solution design at $4,500 (40% below standard). The reduced rate is held across all future work.
What we ask
A candid testimonial if the work delivers. Permission to reference the project as a case study, anonymized if preferred.
What you get
Solution design at $4,500 instead of $7,500. Reduced rate locked across all future Caliet work for as long as the partnership continues.
How to apply
Mention founding partner interest on the discovery call. We evaluate fit based on business shape and timing, not first-come-first-served.
Honesty about scope.
Caliet Advisory is intentionally focused. The work we don't do is as defining as the work we do.
- Not a marketing agency.
- Not a technology implementer.
- Not a fractional CFO or COO placement.
- Not a software reseller.
- Not a generic AI consultant.
The principle: Caliet delivers systems and frameworks. Clients deliver outcomes. AI shows up only when it's the right fix for the named leak — never as the headline, never as the default.
