Packages & Pricing

Support built around the work.

LeanLine helps owner-led custom manufacturers and commercial mechanical, including HVAC, and electrical subcontractors see where every job and order stands, remove bottlenecks, control operational risk, and improve delivery performance.

How pricing works

Every engagement starts with a defined scope. Each advertised price covers that package’s defined base scope. Work beyond that scope is quoted separately before it starts. Flexible payment options are available for select small-business engagements.

Focused assessment · One agreed operating area

Foundations Strategy Intensive

$2,500one-time

Find the operational issues that deserve attention first. Within one agreed workflow, set of projects, or production area, we examine the operating issues affecting progress, performance, and risk.

Best for: You know something is costing time or margin, but need to find the root causes before investing in people, software, or a larger project.

What you get: The top three improvement priorities and what to fix first, a prioritized risk list with mitigation actions, and a 30-day action plan.

See what is included

Scheduling and capacity: Deadlines, available resources, competing priorities, and dependencies.
Handoffs and materials: How work transfers between teams and whether information and materials arrive on time.
Bottlenecks and flow: Waiting time, production constraints, crew interruptions, and recurring rework.
Leadership tracking: How progress, labor hours, costs, and performance are measured and reported.
Operational risk: Delivery threats, recurring quality problems, owner dependencies, and mitigation needs.
Manufacturer measures may include: On-time delivery, throughput, work in process, setup time, scrap, and defects.
Contractor measures may include: Project schedule adherence, crew hours versus estimate, material readiness, rework, and change-order impacts.

Before work starts, agree in writing on the workflow, projects, or production area being assessed. Five areas are examined within that scope. Implementation and dashboard development are scoped separately. The full $2,500 payment applies toward Reset when you continue within 30 days; the remaining Reset amount is $1,500.

Results-Backed Guarantee

If we do not identify at least one specific operational risk or improvement opportunity in this assessment, you do not pay.

The finding must be specific to your business. A generic statement that could apply to any business does not qualify.
