Either. Some clients want the roadmap and handle execution themselves; others want us to implement it directly.
Most audits for a small business take one to two weeks, depending on how many systems and locations are involved.
No. Recommendations aren't tied to reseller commissions, which is part of why the advice tends to differ from a typical vendor-based consultant.
Both models exist. Many clients start with a one-time audit and roadmap, then move to periodic check-ins.
That's the most common client. Fractional leadership fills exactly that gap.
