Early cohorts

A lower price, paid for with feedback.

Early members get a discount in exchange for a candid survey once they have read their analysis — five questions, under five minutes, once. It is a trade, not a giveaway: you get a serious analysis at a lower price, and we get the feedback that shapes what comes next. There is no free tier and no free trial.

List price. Available to anyone, today, no application.

The survey is five questions and takes under five minutes. It comes once, after you have read your analysis — that is the whole obligation. No interview, no case study, no standing commitment.

Discounts are issued as a code applied at checkout, and each code covers one run rather than an account. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

A new category

A category of its own —
innovation discovery, on demand.

Not gut feel. Not a multi-month consulting engagement.
A system built for the space between — where mid-market operators need evidence-based clarity, without a multi-month engagement to get it.

Our commitment

We guarantee rigor, not agreement.

Every Hephanos analysis runs the same structured path — intake, opportunity generation, scoring, ranking, sequencing, validation. The same discipline for every company, whether what comes out is flattering or not. Opportunities are tested against outside research on your market and industry, not just the profile you gave us.

What we guarantee is delivery. Your report contains the anchor moves we found, the reasoning behind each, and how each maps into next steps. If something we said would be there isn't, we re-run it. No charge, no argument.

What we cannot guarantee is that you will agree. Useful strategy tends to land between “we knew that” and “that's not us” — and the second one is often where the value is hiding. We would rather hand you something you have to argue with than something you nod at and file.

Questions about pricing

The money questions.

$750 for one complete analysis. It is a single charge — no subscription, no retainer, no per-seat licence, and nothing that renews.

Founding-cohort members pay $187.50, which is 75% off, in exchange for a survey once they have read their analysis — five questions, under five minutes, once. The founding cohort runs to 25 members; later cohorts are discounted less: 50% off for the next twenty, 25% for the thirty after that.

No. There is no free tier, no free trial, and no zero-cost run of any kind.

That is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight. A discovery run costs real compute and produces a real deliverable; giving it away attracts people who want to see the output rather than act on it, and the feedback that comes back is worth much less. Every discount is a code applied at checkout, and it covers one run rather than an account.

Each run is $750. Companies typically re-run when something material changes — a new plant, an acquisition, a shift in what the market is paying for — rather than on a schedule.

If your intake is not complete, there is no charge. Once the report is delivered, all sales are final.

What we do guarantee is delivery: if something we said would be in your report is not there, we re-run it at no charge and no argument. What we cannot guarantee is that you will agree with it.

It typically comes out of an operating or professional-development budget rather than a capital line — at $750 it sits below most approval thresholds, which is part of the design. An invoice is available on request.

Credit card through Stripe, and ACH on request.

Forge your next move.

A short, focused intake. Same day, not weeks. Your five best moves — scored, ranked, and ready for the next leadership meeting. Then your team decides what's next. The system doesn't pretend to make that call for you.
