Three ways to
build with us.
Every engagement is built around where you are right now — not where we think you should be. We meet the founder at their stage.
Triage
The Founder Clinic
For founders who know something is broken but can't name it clearly enough to fix it. The Founder Clinic is a focused, high-intensity diagnostic where we identify the one bottleneck holding your business back — and hand you a concrete, sequenced action plan to fix it.
Best For
Pre-revenue to $250K founders who need clarity before they can move
- Deep-dive diagnostic interview
- Systems & operations audit
- Priority bottleneck identification
- Written action plan with sequence
- 2-week follow-up check-in
Execution
System Sprints
30-day builds. High-intensity, focused engagements where we design, document, and deploy operational infrastructure. You tell us what's broken. We show up and build it. Not a strategy. Not a plan. An actual running system.
Best For
$100K–$1M founders who know what needs to be built and are ready to build it
- System design & architecture
- Process documentation & SOPs
- Tool configuration & deployment
- Team training & adoption support
- 30-day post-sprint support
Advisory
Retainer / Fractional COO
For founders who have built something real and need a strategic operational partner at the table — not just for advice, but for execution authority. The Advisory Retainer puts a fractional COO in your corner on an ongoing basis.
Best For
$500K+ founders ready to remove themselves from daily operations
- Weekly strategic sessions
- Operational oversight & accountability
- Team management support
- Systems architecture & oversight
- Priority direct access

Check any of these that hit. No signup, no email, just honesty.
The numbers do not lie.
Small and mid-size businesses are the backbone of the global economy. They are collapsing at a rate nobody talks about, for the same reason. Here is what that looks like, and what changes when the systems get built.
Founder Challenges
What founders are up against
70%
of small business owners are the sole operator. The entire business lives inside one person.
Census Bureau / ILO
82%
of business failures are caused by cash flow and operational problems, not bad ideas.
U.S. Bank / SCORE
65%
fail by year ten. Nearly two out of every three businesses are gone before they reach it.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics / OECD
45%
fail by year five. Half of those that survive year one never make it to this mark.

CSB Client Reviews
The problem is not the founder. It's never been the founder.
It's the absence of operational systems that hold the business together. We fix that.
10 Service Bundles
Every bundle is designed around a specific founder problem, not a service menu. Tell us what's broken. We'll tell you which bundle solves it.
"CSB helped me see that my business was ready for the next stage, even when I was not."
Carlos M., Founder of a construction company. Stage 3: CEO.
You do not have to be
struggling to need this.
Some of our best clients were making good money, had real customers, and were proud of what they had built. They came to us ready to build the foundation for what was coming next.
You are winning but exhausted.
Revenue is moving. You are the reason. And that is not a sustainable business model. It is a one-person sprint.
You are growing into chaos.
More clients, more revenue, more problems. Growth exposed the gaps. The infrastructure that got you here will not get you there.
You are ready to scale intentionally.
You do not want to just get bigger. You want to build something that actually works, with or without you in every room.
You are the engine of your business and you know it.
You have proven people want what you sell, but delivering it is chaos.
You feel like if you step away for a week, everything stops.
You are working harder than ever but cannot figure out why it is not adding up.
You know something is broken but cannot name exactly what.
You have built something real and you do not want to lose it.
Then you are exactly who CSB was built for.
Not because you are failing. Because you are close, and the only thing between where you are and where you are going is the infrastructure to hold it.
"I was working harder than ever and could not figure out why it was not adding up."
Sarah K., Founder of a marketing agency. Stage 1: Hustler.
How We Work
Intake Call
A 30-minute conversation where we understand your current stage, your biggest challenge, and what you actually need — before we recommend anything.
Diagnosis
Based on the intake, we identify the right engagement type. No upselling. No overselling. You get exactly what the problem requires.
We Build
Work begins. Whether it's a Clinic, a Sprint, or an ongoing Advisory engagement, we show up and deliver. Not a deck. A working system.
You Lead
Once deployed, your operations run without you fighting them. You're free to lead — not manage.
"They did not hand me a plan. They handed me a working system."
Elena R., Founder of a nonprofit consulting firm. Stage 4: Impactor.
Built to outlast the builder.
Every engagement ends with something deployed and working — not a deck full of recommendations. The business should run without you holding it up.
