FAQs

Answers across the Enable Advance program family — Launch, Continuous, Specialty, Project Sprints, licensing, and billing.  ·  Effective July 2026  ·  office@enable.llc

The short version

Enable prices Build work by the deliverable and Run work as a flat-rate program — so you always know what you're paying before work starts, and ownership of your system isn't improvised every time something breaks.

Getting Oriented

How Enable's program family fits together — and which door you walk through first.

What programs does Enable offer?

Primary motion
Advance Launch

12-month agreement: Discovery → Project Sprints → Continuous. How most new clients engage.

Run · subscription
Advance Continuous

Flat-rate ongoing support — Active, Advisory, Orchestrated. SLA-backed capacity for Run work.

Focused needs
Advance Specialty

Fixed-fee and recurring programs: Embedded, Digital Transformation, Fractional CIO, AI, UCaaS, SOP, and more.

Build · unit-priced
Project Sprints

Fixed batches of deliverables at $350/Unit. Creates new modules, integrations, workflows, and apps.

Advance Custom is the composer of last resort when Launch, Continuous, or Specialty shapes don't fit — never the standard motion. Start with the Rate Card for the full map.

What's the difference between Build and Run?

Build creates something new — a module, integration, workflow, portal, or application. It's priced in Units ($350/Unit for Project Sprints), scoped and approved in writing before work begins.

Run keeps the system operating, improving, and aligned to your business — monitoring, tickets, admin hours, advisory, and light enhancements. Run lives on Advance Continuous (and related programs) as a flat monthly rate with an SLA.

We don't bill by the hour as the default. Unit pricing fixes the cost of each deliverable; Continuous fixes the cost of ongoing ownership.

Which program should we start with?

Most new clients enter through Advance Launch — a single 12-month agreement that builds the system, then lands you on Continuous without renegotiating at month six.

If you already have a Zoho environment Enable didn't build, you can enter Continuous directly after a System Architecture Audit ($5,000–$10,000). If you need a time-boxed intensive team (post-acquisition, PE reset, transformation push), that's Advance Embedded under Specialty. Focused advisory or implementation needs (AI, UCaaS, Fractional CIO, SOP, budget planning) map to Specialty programs on their own.

Advance Launch

How most clients engage — Discovery through Continuous in one agreement. Details on the Operating Model.

What is Advance Launch?

A single 12-month agreement: Discovery → Project Sprints → Advance Continuous. Project-phase payments stage to delivery; Continuous billing starts quarterly from the midpoint. The Continuous transition is signed at day one — not renegotiated at month six.

What happens at the midpoint?

Months 1–6 are the strict project phase (scoped, fixed price, SOW-defined milestones). Around months 4–5 you run a transition review; at midpoint the contractual Continuous tier begins. Months 6–12 run Continuous as the baseline with Build Sprints on a planned cadence when needed.

Do Launch clients need a System Architecture Audit?

No. The Audit is waived for Advance Launch clients and for clients transitioning from a prior Enable project — Enable already engineered and knows the environment. The Audit is the gate for new clients entering Continuous (or similar SLA-backed programs) without that history.

Project Sprints & Units

How Build work is priced and approved. Full mechanics on the Operating Model and Rate Card.

What is a Unit? What is a Sprint?

A Unit is Enable's pricing atom for Build work — standard Project rate $350/Unit (Time & Materials by exception at $360/Unit). Roughly 1.5 hours of expert delivery per Unit on a typical engagement (~$235/hour equivalent), but you buy outcomes, not clock time.

An Enable Sprint is a fixed batch of deliverables — typically 20 Units, about two weeks of production — priced and approved in writing before work begins.

Why Units instead of hourly?

Hourly billing transfers scope risk to you. Unit pricing fixes the cost of each deliverable before work starts — you always know what you're paying, and you only pay for outcomes. Market context: US Zoho/CRM partners generally run $150–$300/hour; Enable sits in the upper-mid of that band on an equivalent basis, with the risk profile flipped.

How do Continuous clients buy Build work?

Continuous covers Run. New deliverables convert to Project Sprints at $350/Unit, scoped and approved separately. Continuous clients get priority Sprint scheduling and streamlined scoping because Enable already knows the system — and scoping/planning for upcoming Sprints is included within your Continuous tier's calibration limits.

Advance Continuous

The flat-rate Run subscription. Tier cards, inclusions, and scoping tables live on the Advance Continuous page.

What is Advance Continuous?

Enable's flat-rate subscription for Run work — ongoing advisory, maintenance, monitoring, ticket support, and light enhancements. You commit to a tier; Enable provides agreed capacity continuously — no per-task billing. Three tiers: Orchestrated (from $3,850/mo), Advisory (from $2,800/mo), and Active ($1,428/mo).

How is this different from calling when something breaks?

Project-by-project means every request starts from a standing stop: scope, quote, approve — then work. You pay for the fix, the delay while the quote cycles, and re-discovery every time someone has to re-learn your system.

Continuous reserves capacity up front. Work starts when the issue arrives. Response time is contractual. Enable already holds operating knowledge of your environment.

"Break-fix means you pay whenever something goes wrong, whatever it costs, whenever we can get to it. Continuous means a fixed quarterly number, a guaranteed response time, and a team that already knows your system."

Isn't break-fix cheaper?

It feels cheaper only in the months nothing happens. You're carrying unpriced risk. When something breaks, you pay whatever it costs, whenever we can get to it, with no response commitment. The real question is whether the system has an owner — or whether ownership is improvised every time something goes wrong.

How does project-by-project compare, side by side?

Project-by-project / break-fix Advance Continuous
When work starts After scope, quote, and approval On arrival — capacity is reserved
Response time No commitment exists Contractual SLA by tier
System knowledge Re-learned (and re-paid) each engagement Held continuously by Enable
Budget shape $0 for months, then surprise invoices Fixed quarterly, CFO-plannable
Relationship Reactive — you call when it's broken Includes advisory, planning, roadmap

Does Continuous replace project work?

No. Continuous covers Run. Anything that creates a new deliverable is Build and converts to a Project Sprint at $350/Unit. Continuous makes those Sprints faster to start — scoping is included within tier limits, and Enable already knows the system.

How is Continuous billed? What do tiers cost?

Annual commitments billed quarterly in advance (standard). Annual prepay (~10% off) and monthly billing by exception (~10% premium, executive approval) are also available. Billing frequency doesn't change the annual term.

Tier Monthly rate Shape
Orchestrated from $3,850 Co-managed oversight — shared PM, bi-annual reviews, API health monitoring, 10 hrs/week admin
Advisory from $2,800 Strategic co-pilot — roadmap, creative solutioning, uncapped Sprint scoping, 5+ hrs/week admin
Active $1,428 Proactive upkeep — monitoring, tickets, workflow/reporting updates, 3 hrs/week admin

Published configurations are operational baselines — your plan is tailored during onboarding (admin hours, connected apps, custom API volume, design requirements).

What are the SLAs? What's covered vs not?

Tier Revenue-impacting Standard tickets Advisory / strategic
Orchestrated 4-hour response 4–24 hrs Next session / BAbR
Advisory 2–24 hrs 4–24 hrs Next scheduled session
Active 4–48 hrs 4–48 hrs Next scheduled session

SLA clocks run Monday–Friday, 9 AM–6 PM Eastern. Covered: Run work (monitoring, tickets, permissions, workflow/reporting updates, light enhancements, tier admin hours; higher tiers add advisory, creative, shared PM, API health). Not covered: Build work that creates a new deliverable — that converts to Sprints.

Creative solutioning and UX-led design are included on Orchestrated and Advisory; on Active they're available at Sprint pricing.

We're new / existing — how do we get on Continuous? Can we change tiers?

Existing Enable / Launch clients: Audit waived. Select a tier; subscription begins on its annual term with quarterly billing. For Launch clients, Continuous was signed at day one — midpoint transition, not a new sale.

New to Enable: Yes, after a one-time System Architecture Audit ($5,000–$10,000, 2–3 weeks). You keep the Pristine System Architecture Summary and Prioritized Findings Report either way.

Tier changes: Executive-sponsor decision on your side; handled as a program change. Calibration during onboarding often absorbs need before a tier change. Escalation: Mike Lauer (Account) and Jeff Kroeker (Client Success).

Advance Specialty

Focused programs for specific business needs. Full deliverables and tier tables on the Specialty Programs page.

What are Advance Specialty programs?

Fixed-fee and recurring engagements built around a specific outcome — not a catch-all subscription. Each program is a complete solution with a standard operational baseline. You start at the right level and grow.

Program Investment shape What it's for
Advance Embedded from $4,900/mo · block purchase Fully-embedded team (dedicated PM + developer, QBRs) for intensive defined-term work
Digital Transformation Advisory $2,997 – $7,997 · one-time Vision planning through board-ready transformation engagement
Fractional CIO $1,997 – $3,997 · per month Senior technology leadership, roadmap governance, executive reporting
SOP Guided Advisory $2,997 – $7,997 setup + quarterly Audit-first SOP library with quarterly refresh
AI Services $320 – $360 · per Unit AI strategy, agents, and adoption — mapped to standard Unit rates
Call Capture & CRM $2,997 – $4,997 · then Project rate Capture conversations (video, VoIP, mobile, in-person) into CRM
UCaaS $2,997 – $4,997 · then Project rate VoIP, call center, mobile, SMS — advisory through implementation
Budget Planning $2,997 – $4,997 · per quarter Technology budget planning, vendor spend review, ROI tracking

What is Advance Embedded — and how is it different from Continuous?

Embedded is Enable's highest-intensity engagement: a dedicated PM and dedicated account developer, full team advisory, QBRs, 12–20 hrs/week configurable admin, multi-org coverage, priority-first Sprint scheduling, and a 2-hour revenue-impacting response. It's purchased in quarterly or monthly blocks (from $4,900/mo equivalent ≈ $14,700/quarter), not as an open-ended Continuous subscription.

Graduation: Embedded blocks conclude into a standing Advance Continuous program — Orchestrated is the default landing tier.

Can Specialty programs stack with Continuous or Launch?

Yes, when the jobs don't collide. Continuous is the Run baseline; Specialty programs address a specific advisory or build need (transformation plan, UCaaS cutover, SOP library, Fractional CIO cadence). Embedded is the intensive defined-term alternative when Continuous's shared model isn't enough — then it lands back on Continuous. Your Enable contact will sequence so you're not paying twice for the same capacity.

What if nothing fits?

Advance Custom composes a flat-rate program from the Baseline Service Catalog around the exact services, admin hours, and advisory depth you need — post-acquisition environments, PE portfolios, non-standard stacks. Custom is never the standard motion. Contact office@enable.llc to start a scoping conversation.

Licensing & Billing

Pass-through licensing and how invoices land. Full catalogs on Licensing and the Rate Card.

Does Enable markup vendor licenses?

No. Zoho, Sybill, UCaaS, and AI vendor licenses are billed as pass-through — no markup. Enable advises on selection and can manage renewals at no added licensing fee. Prices on the Rate Card are annual-billed rates; month-to-month typically runs 17–30% higher.

What are the payment terms?

Engagement type Terms
Projects & Sprints Deposit to open · balance staged to the delivery schedule in your SOW
Continuous — Quarterly (standard) Annual commitment · billed quarterly in advance
Continuous — Annual Prepay Full year at signing · ~10% discount
Continuous — Monthly (exception) Annual commitment · ~10% premium over quarterly
System Architecture Audit 100% at kickoff · fixed price confirmed at scoping

Accepted: Check, ACH, Wire. Credit card carries a 3% fee. Binding terms: enable.llc/pricing/ and enable.llc/terms/.

How do I justify Continuous (or Launch) to finance?

The CFO line: Continuous converts an unpredictable series of emergency invoices into a fixed quarterly operating expense — a known number with a response-time guarantee. It also surfaces spend break-fix hides: re-discovery, quote-cycle delay, and the business cost of revenue-impacting outages with no SLA. Those costs are real either way; Continuous makes them visible, bounded, and budgetable.
