When a Report isn't enough, we bring people.

When to engage us

Four moments where a consultant pays back fast.

The Report points you at the plays. The Integration Team runs the play that needs hands-on data work.

1. Your CRM is the bottleneck.

   Foundation-stage buyers whose data layer is messy: duplicates, missing fields, no source of truth. A two-week engagement to dedupe, define ICP signals, and standardize the data layer often unlocks every AI play downstream.

2. You need a real pilot, not a demo.

   Pilot-stage buyers who want one bounded experiment run end-to-end with a control. A consultant sets up the experiment, instruments the measurement, and reports back with the lift number you can actually defend.

3. The integration is harder than the vendor said.

   Scale-stage rollouts where the bidirectional CRM sync isn't bidirectional, or where the vendor's "native" integration breaks under your custom objects. We bring an engineer who has seen the failure mode before.

4. You need attribution, not anecdotes.

   Optimization-stage teams that want to prove which workflow is actually producing the lift. A consultant builds the attribution model, instruments the dashboard, and writes the methodology so the CFO can audit it.

The team

Independent consultants we work with.

Each profile below: who they are, what they have shipped, and the engagements they take. Profiles are added as people join the bench.

Bench is growing. If you have a specific shape of engagement in mind and we do not have the right person, we will say so and point you elsewhere.

How we work

Same independence rule as the Report.

1. 01

   You email us a scope.

   What you are trying to fix, what stage you are at, what your stack looks like. If you have run the audit, send the score; that is the fastest way to get matched.

2. 02

   We propose a consultant and a fee range.

   One person, not a "bench." We tell you who they are, what they have shipped that is similar, and a fee range. You talk to them directly.

3. 03

   You contract directly with the consultant.

   Yardstick does not mark up the rate. We make a finder fee that is disclosed up front. The consultant works for you, not us, and we do not see your data unless you specifically invite us in.

4. 04

   We follow up after the engagement.

   To learn what worked and what did not, and to update the bench accordingly. Consultants whose engagements come back unhappy do not stay on the bench.

What we will not do. Bundle the consultant fee into a Yardstick Report tier. Mark up the consultant's rate. Place a consultant we have not personally worked with. Recommend an engagement that the buyer's stage does not actually need.
