Frequently asked questions
How is a Pod different from a Fractional COO retainer?
A retainer gives you the strategic operator. A Pod adds the people who do the work — a senior ops manager and specialists. Pods are for founders who need execution capacity, not just leadership clarity.
Do Pod members work full-time on my business?
No — they are fractional but consistent. You get the same people every week with predictable hours. This keeps cost down and bench depth high while preserving continuity.
Can I start with a retainer and upgrade to a Pod?
Yes. Many clients begin with a Fractional COO engagement, identify execution gaps in the first 60 days, then add Pod capacity. The COO stays as the connective tissue.
What's the minimum commitment?
Six months. Pods need time to install, run, and prove themselves. After six months engagements move to quarterly review cycles.
Who's on the pod?
Always a Fractional COO and a Senior Operations Manager. Specialists rotate based on your needs — automation engineers, finance ops, project ops, hiring ops. You don't pay for capacity you don't use.
