Advisory ×1.75

Advisory

I teach, you learn, we validate.

What It Is

Advisory means the primary goal is knowledge transfer. I'm not just fixing your network — I'm teaching you how 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

Applies when

✓ You want to learn how to do this yourself
✓ Architecture review and design consultation
✓ MikroTik certification exam preparation
✓ AI workflow integration for network management
✓ Mentoring your team on RouterOS best practices
✓ Second opinion on proposed network designs

Does NOT apply when

× You need the problem fixed, not explained (→ Remote or Live)
× It's an emergency with no time for teaching (→ Emergency)
× You won't be implementing the knowledge yourself

1 We discuss your learning goals and current level
2 I confirm scope, estimated hours, and tier
3 We work through material in structured sessions
4 You practice under my guidance
5 I provide feedback and corrections
6 Deliverables include materials for continued learning

What Happens If Tier Changes

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this like a training course? +

It's more targeted. Courses teach a curriculum. Advisory addresses your specific situation, gaps, and goals. Much higher signal-to-noise ratio.

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 can 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.
