Advisory×1.75

Advisory

I teach, you learn, we validate.

What it is

Advisory means the primary goal is knowledge transfer. Instead of fixing your network, I teach you to fix it yourself. This includes architecture reviews, certification preparation, AI workflow design, and guided problem-solving where you do the hands-on work under my direction.

When This Tier Applies

What happens during tier drift

Escalation from Advisory

→Live

Trigger: Teaching session shifts to hands-on fixing

Example: Architecture review reveals an active misconfiguration that needs immediate correction

Billing: Hours teaching → Advisory rate. Hours fixing → Live rate.

De-escalation to Advisory

Live→Advisory

Trigger: Fix session transitions to knowledge transfer

Example: After resolving the issue, you want to understand the root cause in depth

Billing: Hours fixing → Live rate. Hours teaching → Advisory rate.

FAQ

Is this like a training course?

More targeted. Courses follow a curriculum. Advisory addresses your specific situation — your gaps are the syllabus, not the course outline.

Can my whole team join?

Yes. Same rate — the multiplier accounts for the teaching overhead regardless of audience size.

Do you provide certification guarantees?

No. I provide preparation based on 7× certification experience — your result depends on your effort. I identify weak areas and focus prep accordingly.

What if I need both training and implementation?

Common pattern. Teaching hours at Advisory rate, implementation hours at Remote or Live rate. Split is timestamped.
