A senior peer in the room for the decisions that matter, without the hire.
advisory · about five hours a month
You're making good decisions, but you're making them alone. The founder doubling as head of marketing or head of people. The first-time director without a senior peer to test thinking against. The people leader running a real initiative who needs a sounding board that actually understands brand. The work is happening. What's missing is the second senior perspective on it.
That's what this is. A recurring monthly review as the anchor, a lighter mid-month check-in, considered access in between, and a short written briefing each quarter you can take into your own board. The Companion sharpens the decision, names the risk, and gives you the analysis. You own the decision and the doing. It's the lightest ongoing tier, on purpose: it suits someone whose own judgment is sound and wants it tested and backed, not replaced.
What it isn't: It isn't embedded leadership. That's Lead Companion. It isn't execution. And it isn't always-on; it's considered senior input, structured, about five hours a month. A fraction of a full-time hire; month-to-month; thirty days' notice.
