What is the $100 45-minute Problem Review for?

It is a focused first conversation where you explain what is happening and Montefuego tells you whether the problem is understood, whether we can help, and what direction makes sense. It may end in a defined service, a deeper diagnostic, or a referral/direction when another path is better. It is not the full diagnostic.

What happens if the problem needs deeper work?

Only if the Problem Review shows that deeper mapping is necessary is the $100 credited toward the $500 total Strategic Diagnostic + Execution Blueprint. The remaining $400 is invoiced when that deeper work is approved.

When does implementation start?

If you want Montefuego to execute the blueprint, custom implementation engagements start at $5,500+ and are scoped separately based on the work required.

REVIEW → BLUEPRINT → EXECUTION

Before we build, I first tell you whether I understand the problem and what direction makes sense.

$100 reserves 45 minutes to tell me what is happening. I will tell you whether I understand the problem, whether Montefuego can help, and what direction I would take. If another solution or connection makes more sense, I will say so. Only when deeper work is needed is the $100 credited toward the $500 total Diagnostic + Blueprint. Custom execution starts at $5,500+.

What each stage buys

These are not three prices for the same conversation.

Each stage answers a different question: do we understand it, what should be done, and who executes it?

PROBLEM REVIEW · 45 MIN

Do I understand the problem, and can I help?

Bring the problem as you see it. I will tell you whether I understand it, whether Montefuego can help, and what my initial direction would be. The answer may be: buy a defined service, build the blueprint, talk to another specialist, or do not spend more money yet.

DIAGNOSTIC + EXECUTION BLUEPRINT

What exactly should be done, and in what order?

Only if the Problem Review shows that depth is needed do we map cause, dependencies, risks, priorities, and the implementation route. The $100 is credited; the remaining $400 is invoiced when you proceed.

EXECUTION

Do the work the blueprint defined.

If you want Montefuego to implement the blueprint, we open a separate mandate. Price depends on systems, integrations, vendors, data, timeline, and risk. The typical entry point is $5,500+.

Integrations and automation
Launch, QA, and handoff

START SCOPE

The $100 buys a useful answer. The $500 buys the plan. The $5,500+ buys execution.

When to use this path

When being wrong costs more than one intelligent pause.

Use it when the problem crosses technology and operations, when several solutions are possible, or when nobody can clearly explain why the system is not working.

Blocked launch

Tools, vendors, and decision owners are not aligned.

Automation without architecture

The team wants AI or automation, but the underlying process is still broken.

Revenue leak

Leads, payments, handoffs, or follow-up are leaking and nobody owns the full flow.

Fragile infrastructure

The business depends on vendors, access, or systems nobody wants to touch under pressure.

First step

You do not need to have the scope. You only need to bring the real problem.

Reserve 45 minutes for $100. We will tell you whether we understand the problem and what direction makes sense. Not every case needs the $500 focused diagnostic, and corporate or multi-system diagnostics are scoped separately because they require a different depth of work.

FAQ

Three questions before you start.

What exactly is the $100 call?

It is a 45-minute conversation where you explain the problem and get an answer: whether we understand it, whether we can help, and what we would do next. It may end in direction, a connection, a defined service, or a recommendation for deeper diagnosis. It is not the full diagnostic.

What happens if we need the full diagnostic?

Only if the Problem Review shows that deeper mapping is needed is the $100 credited toward the $500 total Diagnostic + Blueprint. The remaining $400 is invoiced once we agree on that next step.

Does the diagnostic include execution?

No. If you want Montefuego to build or implement the blueprint, the execution mandate is scoped separately and starts at $5,500+ depending on scope.
