Two public single-provider asking-price examples, checked 28 October 2026, demonstrate why scope matters: Mochary Method's website says flagship 1:1 coaching starts at $10,000 per month (with flexible earlier-stage options), and Fractional Strategy advertises an on-demand strategy hour at $500 per hour. These are distinct offers from two named sellers, not the low/high range of the market and not verified realised transaction prices.

The right starting point is a scope-controlled quotation audit. Collect at least 20 permissioned, recent US quotes across fixed decision review, founder coaching, specialist analysis and fractional leadership; record stage, hours, time span, equity, cancellation, exact deliverables and geographic factors. Report medians and ranges only after collecting real comparable figures, and publish sample size and selection bias. Adjacent job salary data cannot substitute: the BLS May 2025 management-analyst wage is not a vendor price. Management Analysts — Bureau of Labor Statistics
