The Blueprint · $2,500 flat

The Blueprint for founders who need to move faster.

A business review, an AI opportunity map, and an execution plan your team can run. You work with Chris directly—The Factory shows what is in flight.

Looking for tools and community instead of consulting? That is The Room—$99/year, separate from this.

How The Blueprint works.

A fixed scope and a clear finish line. You get a document your team can execute—not a retainer that never ends.

01
Structured intake

You share how the business works today, what you are building, and where you feel stuck. No open-ended discovery spiral.

02
Review the business

Chris reviews workflows, product direction, and where AI actually fits—not where a vendor slide deck says it should.

03
Written plan delivered

A prioritized execution plan: what to build, what to automate, what to leave alone, and in what order. Yours to run.

04
Follow-up included

One round of questions after delivery so your team can start executing without guessing what the document meant.

What you get.

The Blueprint is the core offer. Fractional CTO is optional if the fit is right after. The Factory runs in parallel as proof we still ship.

01The Blueprint

Business Review + AI Plan

$2,500 flat · 2 to 4 weeks.

Chris reviews the business, identifies where AI helps, and delivers a written execution plan: what to build, what to automate, what to leave alone, and in what order. You work with Chris directly—not a coordinator queue.

  • Full business and workflow review
  • AI opportunity map
  • Written execution plan
  • One round of follow-up questions
02Optional

Fractional CTO

Scoped after The Blueprint.

If the fit is right after The Blueprint, Chris stays in the room. Architecture decisions, build reviews, release gates, product judgment in your standups. Usually two to three days a week, sized to your team.

03Proof

The Factory

We ship while we advise.

The Factory runs in parallel. When we talk about The Blueprint, we are also talking about products actively moving through design, build, and release. Judge the advice by the work behind it.

How the fee and follow-on work

The fee

$2,500, agreed before we start.

The fee covers the full review, the written plan, and one round of follow-up questions. It does not change mid-engagement, and if we are not the right fit we say so before you commit.

After delivery

The plan is yours to run.

Most clients execute the plan with their own team, and that is the intended outcome. When it makes sense to keep working together, the Fractional CTO engagement is scoped separately once The Blueprint wraps.

Consulting or membership.

Common questions.

No. The Blueprint is the client-facing offer. The Factory builds 716 Ventures products, not client software. If you need a dev shop, we are not it.
A written document: a review of your business and workflows, a prioritized map of where AI helps (and where it does not), and an execution plan your team can run without us. It is a document you can hand to your team, not a discovery-call recap.
No. It is optional and only offered if the fit is right after The Blueprint. Most clients take the plan and run it themselves. That is the intended outcome.
Small and mid-size businesses that are moving too slowly, spending too much on the wrong things, or unsure where AI actually fits. Enterprise and pre-revenue startups looking for a co-founder are out of scope.
Two to four weeks depending on business complexity and how quickly you can share context. The engagement starts with a structured intake, not an open-ended discovery phase.
Some products are available for acquisition when the fit is right. Use the contact form with the acquisition inquiry type. We treat those threads as confidential and usually reply within one business day. See The Factory for what is in flight.
