Trinity Cadence

Three tiers.
Transparent. No retainer creep.

All three tiers include the full Cadence AI Toolkit. The difference is depth of operator engagement and weekly hours — pick by company stage and the seat you actually need filled.

Foundation

For founders who need the cadence run — not the whole org rebuilt.

$ 12,000 / month
  • ~10 hrs / week senior operator
  • Monthly leadership participation
  • Quarterly review
  • Cadence AI Toolkit (full)
  • 6-month minimum, month-to-month thereafter
Start with Foundation
Most engagements ★
Standard

For founders who need an embedded operator running the week — not just consulting on it.

$ 16,500 / month
  • 12–15 hrs / week senior operator
  • Weekly cadence + Huddle facilitation
  • Active project ownership
  • Vendor management
  • Everything in Foundation
  • 12-month commitment: $14,500/mo (saves $24,000)
Start with Standard
Embedded

For founders who need a full second-in-command — org, hiring, board, and rhythm.

$ 22,000 / month
  • 15–20 hrs / week senior operator
  • Embedded operating presence
  • Team development + 1:1s
  • Board / investor reporting cadence
  • Issue resolution via Build Loop
  • Everything in Standard
Start with Embedded

Recommended: Standard tier at $16,500 per month, billed monthly in advance. A 12-month commitment is available at $14,500 per month — a savings of $24,000 over the term.

\\ Common questions

Before you book the intro.

What does the 14-month average tenure actually mean?
It's how long the median client engagement runs. Most start with the 6-month minimum, then continue month-to-month through two full strategic cycles. The engagement ends when you've hired a full-time operator or grown out of needing fractional support.
Who is the fractional COO?
Currently, Kevin Patrick — 30+ years of operating experience across technology, consulting, and leadership, plus the operator who designed Trinity Cadence. Future engagements may be assigned to other Trinity Cadence practitioners trained on the same framework. You'll meet whoever you'd be working with on the intro call.
What if I just want the AI toolkit, not the operator?
That's the standalone Trinity Cadence product — start with a 14-day free trial at app.cadence.trinityoneconsulting.com. The Fractional COO offering is for founders who want the operator-led engagement; the toolkit is included so the two work as one system.
How does this compare to an EOS Implementer?
An EOS Implementer facilitates the framework — usually 1–2 days per quarter, plus quarterly check-ins. A fractional COO runs the operating cadence week to week. The Cadence framework is the modern AI-native equivalent of EOS, and a fractional COO is the operator role those frameworks have always been missing.
Can I switch tiers mid-engagement?
Yes. Move up or down at any month boundary. Most engagements start on Foundation or Standard and step up to Embedded after the first quarterly cycle once the value is obvious.
