FOR A DEFINED PROBLEM OR OUTCOME

Focused engagements with a clear finish line.

Choose this lane when the problem is bounded and you want diagnosis, a practical plan, working tools, and a cadence that keeps the internal owner moving. Playconomix does not take over the day-to-day job.

One meaningful operating outcome

  • Recurring strategy and accountability sessions
  • Decision tools, SOPs, dashboards, or working documents as needed

6-Month Transformation

6 Ă— $2,500

A deeper capability or system change

  • Six-month operating roadmap
  • Longer-horizon guidance across people, process, margin, and growth
  • Working artifacts and milestone reviews
  • Internal owner remains responsible for execution
  • Best for meaningful change that needs time to stick
Choose the transformation

FOR THE BUSINESS THAT NEEDS ONGOING OPERATING JUDGMENT

Strategic support below fractional leadership—and far above generic coaching.

Playconomix stays close enough to pressure-test decisions, review the operating system, create or strengthen priority work, and help leadership move. Your team owns day-to-day execution; Playconomix is not an employee, interim executive, or outsourced COO.

Strategic Operating Advisory · 2 of 5 seats available

$5,000/mo · 6 months

A regular operating thought partner

  • Twice-monthly strategic operating sessions
  • Monthly operating review and priority reset
  • Async decision support between sessions
  • Preparation or review of priority plans, dashboards, SOPs, models, and recommendations
  • Written decisions, owners, deadlines, and next actions after working sessions
  • Best for a capable team that needs sharper judgment and consistent forward motion
Apply for advisory

Executive Advisory Partner · 1 of 3 seats available

$10,000/mo · 6 months

Higher-touch support for consequential work

  • Weekly strategic operating sessions
  • Priority async response and document review
  • Participation in one leadership, strategy, or board-style meeting each month
  • Deeper cross-functional support across margin, supply chain, systems, channels, and execution
  • One defined implementation workstream each month
  • Best for complex businesses where the cost of a wrong decision is high
Apply for executive advisory

The execution standard: meetings are not the deliverable. Every engagement requires visible movement, honest blockers, and internal owners who finish the work. When commitments repeatedly stall at the one-yard line, Playconomix may pause or end the engagement.

FOR HIGH-STAKES MOMENTS

Turnaround, diligence, value creation, and selective capital.

These are customized engagements for owners, boards, investors, lenders, and leadership teams facing a situation that does not fit a standard package.

Turnaround & Value Creation

Custom scope

When performance must change

  • Operating diagnosis and value-creation plan
  • Cash, margin, inventory, channel, and execution priorities
  • Leadership alignment and milestone governance
  • Structured for the situation; not day-to-day interim management
Discuss a turnaround

Investor, Lender & Board Support

Custom scope

Operator diligence before and after the deal

  • Commercial and operational pressure-testing
  • Systems, supply chain, inventory, and margin assessment
  • Management-plan review
  • Post-close operating priorities and accountability
Discuss diligence support

Playconomix Ventures

Selective

Operator capital for aligned businesses

  • Selective investments in sports, recreation, games, fitness, and consumer products
  • Operator-led diligence
  • Strategic operating support where it creates leverage
  • Not a broad application-based fund
Explore Ventures

OPERATOR EXPERIENCE, NOT BORROWED THEORY

Built from 20+ years and more than $500M in lifetime consumer-product sales.

The systems behind these offerings come from scaling physical products across channels, countries, factories, teams, and operating constraints—including work that reduced manufacturing costs by 20%, increased gross margin by 20%, and extended factory terms from net 15 to net 90.

Still deciding where to start?

Use these distinctions. If the fit is still unclear, the 15-minute call is built for exactly that.

Not sure which lane fits?

Bring the problem, the goal, and the constraint. In 15 minutes, we will identify the most sensible next step—even when that means starting smaller.
