30-Day People Diagnostic
- Current-state assessment across organization, talent, compensation, performance, operations, and culture.
- A people risk register with severity, owner, and the fix.
- An approved 90-day roadmap tied to the value creation plan.
- A board-ready readout delivered live to the CEO and, if you want, the sponsor.
$15,000 fixed, credited in full toward a retainer signed within 30 days.
What it replaces
A three-month internal debate about whether you have a people problem, and where.
Core engagement
Fractional Chief People Officer
- Ten to twenty hours a week of senior people leadership, reporting to the CEO.

- A 90-day plan: listen and prioritize, design and build, embed and measure.
- A one-page people scorecard on the fifth business day of every month.
Three options from $12,000 per month. Six-month term.
What it replaces
A full-time CPO search you are not ready to fund, and a CEO doing the role at 10pm.
Defined scope
Projects
When the problem is already named, we scope it, price it, and deliver it. No retainer required.
From $10,000 per project. 4 to 12 weeks.
- Compensation architecture
- Post-acquisition integration
- Org design and restructure
- Leadership assessment and succession
- HR technology selection
- Leadership offsite
Need to hire the role instead?
Sometimes the right answer is a full-time leader, not a fractional one. For VP and C-level people roles, ScalePath works with Avant Search. If that is what you need, we will say so on the first call.
Boundaries, stated up front.
- No payroll or benefits administration.
- No legal representation.
- No unlimited employee relations casework.
- No hourly HR support.
Thirty minutes. No pitch.
