Why Our Approach Is Different

Most consultants operate under a "suitability" standard. We choose the fiduciary standard instead.

Traditional Consulting

  • ×Advice just needs to be "suitable" for your needs
  • ×Can exclusively promote their own services
  • ×May have undisclosed financial incentives
  • ×Consultant's interests can come first

Our Fiduciary Approach

  • Legally bound to put YOUR interests first
  • Fixed-fee structure with transparent pricing
  • Complete disclosure of any potential conflicts
  • Choose solutions from the entire market

The Bottom Line

We're your advocate, not a consultant trying to sell you something. Fixed fees mean we focus on your success, not our commission.

How We Work

1

Fixed-Fee Structure

We charge a transparent, fixed fee—not percentages or commissions. This means we have no financial incentive to recommend one solution over another.

2

Best-in-Class Partners

We bring in specialists for execution at their actual rates—no markups, no hidden fees. You get the best people at fair prices.

3

Complete Transparency

Full disclosure of relationships, costs, and potential conflicts. We even pay market rates when we need those same specialists ourselves.

Why Rough & Ready?

We combine real-world strategy with hands-on execution—and we're legally bound to put your interests first.

Experienced Team

From nonprofits to startups, we've led transformations across sectors with a track record of measurable results.

Focused on Outcomes

Every engagement is designed around results you can measure and feel. No fluff, no templates—just what works.

Built for Your Context

No one-size-fits-all solutions. Only strategies tailored to your specific model, mission, and market reality.
