Three productized consulting packages built around the operating realities of a working trade business. HVAC, weatherization, hydronics, plumbing, mechanical insulation, building envelope. Crews from three people to fifty plus. All three packages priced to fit inside the standard $2,500 TAD flex spend, no escalation needed.
Each tier is a complete, defined engagement. Pricing reflects the scope. You can move up after Tier 1 if you want to keep building, but each tier stands on its own.
Quick reference, top to bottom. Same scope as the cards above, just easier to compare.

Project Baseline is the strategy consulting practice of Todd Walton. The firm builds operational infrastructure, brand strategy, and AI-enabled systems for organizations that need real working tools, not slide decks. Todd brings 20-plus years of experience across hip-hop media, civic and political organizations, global development, corporate innovation, and small business operations.
This offering is Project Baseline's first productized service for the energy efficiency contractor space. The AI operations practice is established work that the firm runs across its other engagements. The funding opportunities work draws on a grant intelligence framework the firm has developed across multiple engagements, surfacing capital pipelines that contractors and small business owners often miss. The trade ally context is new ground, and the firm is approaching it that way: listening first, building practical tools, and growing the offering based on what cohorts actually need.
Honest framing matters here. Project Baseline does not have a back catalog of energy efficiency consulting engagements. What it does have is a working AI and small business operations practice, a track record of building real tools that real teams use, and a developed grant intelligence framework. The pricing reflects that posture: priced to fit the TAD flex fund, scoped for clear deliverables, and designed to grow with the contractor.
