There are two general paths for working with Thoughtfaucet: specific deliverables/one-time projects and ongoing consultation.
For complex situations–objectives or methods of achieving those objectives are opaque; rapidly changing environments; new processes or knowledge expansion–commissioning Thoughtfaucet on a monthly basis is most effective:
Commissioning Thoughtfaucet for Reporting and Consulting
$7.5k/month
One phone/webinar meeting each month, configuration and delivery of reports relevant to the projects at hand, 3 business-day or less response to all emails from commissioning organization and their partners, additional phone/webinar meetings at Thoughtfaucet’s discretion.
Commissioning Thoughtfaucet for Reporting, Consultation and Strategic Content Projects
$12k/month
Making something, two phone/webinar meetings each month, configuration and delivery of reports relevant to the projects at hand, 2 business-day or less response to all emails from commissioning organization and their partners, additional phone/webinar meetings at Thoughtfaucet’s discretion.
Hourly work
Thoughtfaucet does not do hourly work because it discourages clients from communicating for fear of running up the clock.
Specific Deliverable/One-Time Projects
For situations where the objectives and methods are more clear and packageable, there is a fee schedule for common services:
