THE SYSTEM
The Authority Framework
One clear system for turning hard-earned expertise into visible authority assets and repeatable operating systems.
Start with the Authority Gap Diagnosis: a focused paid assessment that shows where expertise is invisible, undocumented, or under-leveraged.
From there, choose the right path: Core Build, Full Installation, Fractional CAO, or Authority at Scale.
STEP 1 — PAID DIAGNOSTIC
AUTHORITY GAP DIAGNOSIS | 2 WEEKS | $7,500
Find the Knowledge Risk—and the Revenue Opportunity.
For founder-led hospitality, food, and service companies where critical commercial judgment lives inside a few people. We interview the founder and key operators, identify dependency risk, quantify opportunities, and deliver a prioritized 90-day installation plan with one working prototype.
"Before you install anything, identify what is worth protecting and monetizing."
What you receive:
Founder-dependency risk map
Critical-knowledge inventory
Revenue and efficiency opportunity map
Interviews with founder and key operators
Prioritized 90-day installation plan
One working prototype system
INVESTMENT: $7,500 | Paid in full
STEP 2 — 90-DAY INSTALLATION [CORE OFFER]
THE AUTHORITY FRAMEWORK INSTALLATION | 90 DAYS | $25,000-$35,000
Turn Critical Judgment Into Systems Your Team Can Run.
We install the highest-value systems identified in the diagnostic: sales playbooks, operator decision frameworks, leadership onboarding, training assets, knowledge governance, and secure AI-assisted access to documented expertise.
"Your best operator should not be the only person who knows how the business wins."
What we install:
Revenue-critical knowledge map
Repeatable sales and decision playbooks
Leadership onboarding system
Operator training and handoff assets
Secure internal knowledge repository
AI-assisted search and retrieval layer
Adoption metrics and governance plan
Executive implementation sessions
INVESTMENT: $25,000–$35,000 | Scope set after diagnostic
STEP 3 — DEPLOYMENT ADVISORY
ONGOING DEPLOYMENT ADVISORY | $7,500–$10,000/MONTH
Keep the System Running—and Improving.
For clients who need ongoing help deploying, measuring, and improving the installed systems. Christian stays involved with executive decision frameworks, knowledge governance, sales enablement, leadership onboarding, and new operator assets as the company evolves.
"This is not coaching. It is the operating discipline that keeps critical knowledge alive and usable."
What changes:
Knowledge-system governance
Sales and onboarding asset updates
Decision-framework refinement
Measurement and adoption reviews
Direct strategic access
INVESTMENT: $7,500–$10,000/month | By proposal
ENTERPRISE OPTION — MULTI-TEAM INSTALLATION
OPERATOR INTELLIGENCE AT SCALE | CUSTOM SCOPE | BY PROPOSAL
Protect and Deploy the Knowledge Your Enterprise Runs On.
Designed for multi-location and enterprise organizations where critical expertise is fragmented across executives, regions, and operating teams. We install a shared knowledge architecture, standardize decision and training systems, and make valuable judgment securely available across the organization—without forcing every team into the same workflow.
What changes:
Multi-team knowledge extraction
Shared operator-intelligence architecture
Standardized sales, decision, and training systems
Secure role-based access
Regional and leadership onboarding
Governance, adoption, and measurement
Custom rollout plan
INVESTMENT: By proposal

HOW IT WORKS — THE 4-STEP PROCESS
THE PROCESS
Four Steps. Eight Weeks. One Authority Asset.
01 - Extract
We pull the stories, frameworks, lessons, judgment, standards, and market point of view out of your head.
02 - Build
We shape the message, structure the book, clarify the audience, define the opportunity, and build the positioning around the asset.
03 - Publish
We guide or handle the book, cover direction, editing path, formatting, author page, squeeze page, and publishing setup.
04 - Deploy
We turn the asset into a platform for speaking, advisory, board visibility, licensing, workshops, podcasting, media, and premium business.
I wasn't sure my story was interesting enough. Christian heard five minutes of it and told me I was sitting on a client acquisition system disguised as a book. He was right. Don't Follow the Recipe has become the single most effective business development tool I've ever used. I hand it to prospects before the first meeting. Half of them show up already sold.
