Engagements + starting prices
Lock can diagnose, architect, lead implementation, or support continued operation. The architecture remains capable of handoff; the objective is operating capability, not permanent dependency.
The commercial path
Most first conversations resolve toward a Review or Architecture Sprint. Larger scopes should earn their way into the plan through evidence.
Diagnose
See one consequential process as a complete mechanism before committing to a larger build.
A strong first move when the symptoms are visible but the actual process problem is not.
Open the worked review →Sample readout (fictional) →Architect
Design one important process—or a tightly connected family—so another capable team can implement it.
For a known process that is inconsistent, founder-dependent, disconnected, or ready for redesign.
Architect + establish
Establish a connected management domain rather than repairing one process in isolation.
For a company crossing an operating threshold where several processes must rise together.
Implement
Lead the controlled passage from approved architecture into adopted operating capability.
When the architecture exists but the client needs an experienced integrator or project leader to establish it.
Operate + improve
Run the control-room cadence that keeps a process healthy after the project ends.
For a client-owned process estate that benefits from outside measurement craft and improvement discipline.
What changes the scope
How many mechanisms and interfaces must be understood, designed, or changed.
How observable the work is and how much diagnosis, mapping, or baseline work is needed.
Configuration, migration, integration, reporting, access, and data-quality complexity.
The safety, quality, privacy, security, regulatory, employment, and business consequences.
Whether Lock architects, leads implementation, supplies temporary capacity, or supports a client team.
Decision speed, sites, vendors, functions, stakeholders, and critical operating windows.
Software, specialist partners, legal advice, recruiting, benefits, brokerage, and other third-party costs are separate. Final scope and fees follow a written engagement definition.
What the client buys
The prebuilt process estate means Lock arrives prepared. The engagement pays for diagnosis, judgment, architecture, implementation, measurement, and transfer into your company.
What it is not
Lock does not sell a universal process, co-employ your workforce, own your system, or create dependency on a permanent seat. Reference standards are starting architecture, not blind installation.
