The Operator Brief Keystone · Pricing No. 004 / 2026

Keystone pricing

One diagnostic, free. Then four doors and two decisions.

Three scores and your number, free. On a $430K-SDE business, the gap between an owner-dependent sale and an owner-light one is $795,500, and it closes only with the work the paid doors track. Pick the door that matches how much of the company runs on Keystone, then pick monthly or annual.

Keystone

Four doors, one question: how much of the company runs on it.

The same 18-question diagnostic sits under every door. Free shows your three scores and a blurred value range; the paid doors open the live valuation, the ranked list of what is discounting it, and the operating layer that holds the gains.

Annual is monthly times ten on every paid door: pay for ten months, use twelve. The three diagnostic scores are never gated, at any door.

Running Keystone across a book of clients instead of your own company? That is a different ladder: Advisor and Practice pricing.

What every plan includes

The diagnostic is free. What you pay for is the work that closes a $795,500 gap.

01

Three scores and your number

Your Business Independence, Systems Maturity, and Acquisition Attractiveness scores, plus an estimated sale price range calibrated against ten years of closed transactions. Free, on every plan, never gated.

02

The ranked gap-closing playbook

On Operator and up: the live valuation, the Scenario Engine, and a ranked list of the specific changes that move your number most, so you work on the $50,000 problem before the $5,000 one.

03

The operating layer that sustains it

Decision routing, the manager standup, the AI SOP generator, and the Weekly Owner Brief, the systems that hold the gains and keep the business running on less of your time.
