Score your IT

How it works

Four phases with a finish line built in. I take a company from unmanaged to organized. Then I help you hand it off to an MSP, an in-house hire, or staying with me at a light hourly cadence, whichever makes sense.

The path

Four phases

Most IT providers want the relationship to last forever. This one is designed to end well.

  • 1. Assess

    I score your environment against the ten points and give you a written roadmap in priority order. Flat fee, one week.

  • 2. Stabilize

    We fix what is actively costing you. Identity, email protection, backup, the things that keep coming back.

  • 3. Systematize

    Fixes become standards. Runbooks, hardware specs, onboarding process, license register.

  • 4. Hand off

    You get documented systems ready for an MSP, an in-house hire, or staying with me at a light hourly cadence. Whichever fits.

Phase 1

Assess

We start with your actual Microsoft 365 tenant and devices, not a questionnaire in a vacuum. I check the ten standards, write down what is true today, and put the gaps in priority order.

You leave with a roadmap you can act on, whether you hire me for the next phases or not. Flat fee. One week.

Price: $750 assessment.

Phase 2

Stabilize

This is the work that stops the bleeding. Clean up identity and leftover access. Get credentials out of browsers and into a manager. Lock down email and domain protections. Prove backup and recovery instead of assuming it works.

Each item is priced as a project before it starts. No open-ended hourly burn for "we'll see."

Phase 3

Systematize

Once the urgent gaps are closed, we turn the fixes into habits. Hardware standards. Onboarding and offboarding runbooks. A license register. File locations with owners. Documentation someone else can follow.

This is what makes the environment handoff-ready. An MSP, an in-house hire, or I at a light hourly cadence can pick it up without guessing.

Phase 4

Hand off

When the ten points are in good shape, you have a choice: move to an MSP, hire someone in-house, or stay with me at a light hourly cadence. I will help with the handoff either way.

If you need phone-first support, weekend coverage, or someone on site every week, that is an MSP job. I am happy to point you at good ones.

The finish line

How I know when you have outgrown me

  • Your team passes twenty-five people and needs answers faster than a written-request model can give them
  • You need coverage outside my working window
  • You need regular hands on site, or you have more than one location
  • You are pursuing a certification with hard deadlines and continuous evidence requirements
  • All ten points are green and there is nothing left to build
  • You hire your own IT person, and I move to an advisory role

Any of these is a good outcome. It means the work worked. When one shows up, I will say so, and we will plan the handoff instead of pretending it is not happening.
