Ten disciplines. One integrated system of support.

Every deliverable below is scoped with the same transparent methodology, priced with a written estimate before work begins, and delivered with two revision rounds included.

How to Read This

Organizations rarely have a single, isolated problem. A hiring bottleneck is usually a governance question. A funding gap is usually an operating model question.

Most engagements draw on three or four of these disciplines at once. Discovery determines which, and the written proposal names each deliverable, its complexity rating, its hour range, and its cost before you commit to anything.

01
Business Plan & Strategy Development

Living strategic documents rather than static plans. Comprehensive business plans integrate governance frameworks, financial projections, operational models, staffing plans, and compliance structures into a single document leadership can execute against.

02
Governance & Multi-Entity Structure

Clarity of roles, decision-making authority, and compliance for organizations operating across multiple legal entities, with draft charter language and the procedures that govern who joins, who leads, and who leaves.

03
Operations & Shared Infrastructure

The systems that keep an organization running with consistency and accountability, including shared back-office models for coalitions that want administrative efficiency without surrendering independence.

Human Resources & People Systems

People infrastructure that protects the team and the organization alike, from the handbook that sets expectations to the compensation analysis that makes pay decisions defensible.

Most engagements draw on three or four of these at once. Discovery tells us which.

Every Deliverable Includes

The full lifecycle, built into the estimate.

Hour estimates are not just drafting time. They account for the research that precedes the work, the internal quality assurance that follows it, and the coordination that surrounds it.

Discovery & Research

Review of your existing documents, targeted research, and the information gathering each deliverable requires.

Drafting & Development

Writing, framework design, tool building, and content structuring.

Internal Quality Assurance

A full review pass before anything reaches your desk.

Two Revision Rounds

Standard engagements include two revision cycles per deliverable based on your feedback.

Project Management

Progress updates, check-in meetings, correspondence, and coordination throughout.

Custom Scope

Need something not listed here?

If your organization needs a deliverable outside this catalog, HERA scopes it with the same methodology and provides a custom written estimate. Engagements can also be phased, so you start with what is most urgent and add scope over time.
