How engagements work

Transparent pricing, one rate.

The rate and every way to work together are published right here. What an open-ended project totals comes down to scope — the hours behind it — and sizing that is what the first call is for.

How pricing works

My rate is $350/hour across Total Rewards, HR Systems, and AI work alike — you’re buying the same expertise either way. The Sprint and the retainer are flat fees, not hourly — the hours shown just give you a sense of the scope behind each price.

Four ways to work

What fits the work in front of you.

Start with whichever matches what you need today; most engagements grow from there.

The anchor $12,000fixed · ≈ 30–40 hrs
$9,000 — under 50 staff or nonprofit

The AI-for-HR Sprint

A fixed-scope, fixed-fee engagement of roughly two to four weeks. We pick two or three builds against your real work, add governance, and train your team so the capability stays. You walk away with working tools, not a slide deck.

Retainer $3,500/mo~10 hrs/mo · 3-mo min

Ongoing partner (monthly)

The recurring work across all three practices — annual merit cycles, new-hire offer governance, HRIS data hygiene and analytics, and AI enablement and training. And when something time-sensitive hits — an offer that has to go out today, a counteroffer to model, a board question due tomorrow — you’re not just in a queue. I turn critical work around with the urgency it deserves.

Hourly $350/hror a 5-hr block, $1,750

On-call advisory

A second opinion on a comp question, an HRIS decision, or an AI build — the lowest-friction way in. A natural add-on for existing clients.

Project $350/hrbilled as a fixed total once scoped

A scoped project

A defined Total Rewards or HR Systems deliverable — a comp structure, a leveling framework, an HRIS implementation — scoped up front and fixed once agreed.
