Commission
THRUM takes no payment from any benefits carrier or broker, on any engagement. It is stated in writing in every proposal.
Pricing
Fixed fee, named deliverable, agreed date. No hourly billing, because hourly billing pays a consultant to take longer.
| Engagement | Duration | Indicative fee | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Sound Check People & Organization Diagnostic | 3 weeks | $6,500 – $12,000 | Before anyone changes anything, find out what the company actually sounds like. |
| The Warp Organizational Design & Role Architecture | 5 – 8 weeks | $14,000 – $38,000 | The threads everything else gets woven onto. |
| Plain Language Employee Policy & Handbook Development | 4 – 6 weeks | $7,500 – $22,000 | A policy nobody can read is a policy nobody follows — and a policy nobody follows is worse than no policy, because it is evidence. |
| What It’s Worth Benefits & Total Rewards Planning | 4 – 8 weeks | $9,000 – $25,000 | Most employees cannot tell you what their job actually pays. That is a design failure, not a communication problem. |
| The Crossweave Multilingual & Cross-Cultural Workforce Programs | 6 – 10 weeks | $12,000 – $30,000 | Your handbook is in one language. Your building isn’t. |
| The Residency Retained People Leadership | Monthly · 3-month minimum | $4,500 – $14,000 / month | A people function without the headcount. |
Bands scale with headcount, number of sites, and how many languages the work has to land in. Every engagement is quoted precisely after a short scoping call — the figure in the proposal is the figure on the invoice.
What is never on the invoice
THRUM takes no payment from any benefits carrier or broker, on any engagement. It is stated in writing in every proposal.
If the work takes longer than scoped, that is our problem. The fee does not move.
What we build belongs to you, in editable files. There is nothing to keep renting.
A Sound Check runs three weeks for a fixed fee: interviews across every level and shift, a teardown of every people document in the building, and a ranked plan with costs attached. You are not obliged to buy anything after it.
