How it works

From a two-minute submission to a measured Practical Effect Report — here is the full path, honestly described.

  1. 1. You submit what could work better

    Explain what's happening — by typing, speaking, or uploading evidence. No account required. Takes about two to five minutes.

  2. 2. We investigate

    We review what you shared, plus relevant public information, and build a structured case pack. Not every submission results in a proposal — some need clarification, some are outside scope, some are referred elsewhere.

  3. 3. You receive our understanding — and possibly a proposal

    If a practical intervention makes sense, an administrator prepares and personally publishes an implementation proposal: what we understand, the intended effect, recommended implementation, deliverables, assumptions, timeline, and price.

  4. 4. You approve only if it makes sense

    Ask questions, request a revision, or decline — no pressure. Approving requires your typed legal name and confirmed authority. Nothing is charged until you approve.

  5. 5. You fund the agreed work

    A deposit (50% by default) is collected through secure checkout. The proposal is only considered funded once payment is confirmed by Stripe — never just on redirect.

  6. 6. We implement, and establish a baseline

    Before implementation completes, we record baseline metrics relevant to the engagement, so results can be compared honestly.

  7. 7. We measure at 30, 60, and 90 days

    Each review compares current values against baseline, with your observations and ours. The 90-day review produces the Practical Effect Report.

Every case status, in order

Your client portal always shows exactly where a case stands. Here is the full lifecycle:

  7. 7. Awaiting Decision
  8. 8. Approved — Payment Required
  9. 9. Approved and Funded
  10. 10. In Implementation
  11. 11. Awaiting Client Input
  12. 12. 30-Day Review
  13. 13. 60-Day Review
  14. 14. 90-Day Review
  15. 15. Completed
  16. 16. Closed
