The Founder's Guide to Fractional Hiring

The decision to hire fractional is a financial and strategic calculation. In this hub, we pull back the curtain on the logistics of the fractional economy. We cover the "How-To" of the entire engagement: from writing a fractional scope of work (SOW) to setting retainer rates that align with business outcomes. More importantly, we dive into the ROI of the model - analyzing how a 10-hour-a-week expert can often outpace a 40-hour-a-week mid-level manager by focusing purely on high-leverage strategy and execution.
