Your Questions, Answered
How we work with organizations, what it costs and how to get started.
Getting StartedHow do we get started?
Schedule a complimentary 30-minute introductory briefing. We’ll learn about your situation, answer your questions and recommend whether a Strategic Diagnostic makes sense. There’s no cost and no obligation.
Who will we work with?
Every engagement is led directly by founder Stacey Wiessbock, a hands-on partner from first conversation to lasting change. The work is highly collaborative: we build the plan with your leaders and teams, not for them.
Why do you limit the number of clients you take on?
We keep our client load deliberately balanced, so every engagement gets the time, attention and support it needs. When you work with us, you are never one file in a stack.
How quickly can you start?
Connect the D.O.T.S. sessions are booked directly through our online calendar. Larger engagements begin once your proposal is approved, on a timeline that works for you.
Working With UsWho is a Whitebrook client?
Organizations navigating growth, structural change, succession, conflict or an unforeseen challenge, and business owners preparing for a sale.
How do you handle confidentiality?
Absolute discretion is our foundation. Whitebrook was founded in Washington, D.C., where privacy is part of how serious work gets done. We partner with HR, communications and legal teams to protect your organization, and we never use a client’s name without permission.
Engagements & CostWhat are the engagement options?
Five ways to engage, each available in person, virtually or remotely.
Connect the D.O.T.S. · Hourly
An hour with founder Stacey Wiessbock: confidential, expert advice on one specific decision, when you need it. No long-term commitment.
The Sprint · 30–90 days
A focused project with a clear goal, such as a technology readiness audit or a communications reset.
Stewardship · 6–12 month retainer
Ongoing partnership to see a major change through, from plan to lasting results.
On-Call Advisory · Monthly
Reserved time with Stacey each month: scheduled working sessions plus on-demand access for live questions and fast decisions.
Custom Engagement · Scoped to your needs
For crises, mergers and work that spans all three areas.
How much does an engagement cost?
It depends on scope. Connect the D.O.T.S. sessions are paid online when you book, and you choose your time right after checkout. On-Call Advisory is a monthly retainer, scoped to your needs. Sprints and longer engagements are priced by scope. You’ll receive a custom project plan and fixed proposal within 72 hours of completing your Strategic Diagnostic.
Can we start on our own?
Yes. The Change Readiness Toolkit ($97) gives your team the D.O.T.S. Framework as a ready-to-use guide, planning workbook, communication template and 30-60-90 rollout checklist, delivered instantly. Add a 60-minute Strategy Session to tailor it to your organization, and the toolkit price is credited toward a project with Whitebrook within 60 days.
The Strategic DiagnosticWhat is the Strategic Diagnostic?
An assessment built on the D.O.T.S. Framework and custom to your needs: from a focused 60–90 minute session to a week-long assessment, depending on the size and scope of your organization. It covers five pillars: defining the mandate, structural and narrative review, pattern recognition, strategic feasibility and trajectory mapping.
What happens after it?
You receive a custom project plan and proposal within 72 hours of completing it, followed by a review and alignment session before any work begins.
How do we book it?
Sessions are scheduled through Calendly, and a deposit based on scope, invoiced when you book, confirms the appointment. If you move forward with a project, the deposit is credited toward your engagement. If you decide not to proceed, it is non-refundable.
Business OwnersDo you work with owners preparing to sell their business?
Yes. As an entrepreneur herself, Stacey understands what’s at stake when you’ve built something and are preparing to let it go. Through Exit Readiness & Value Assessment, we help owners understand what their business is worth today and which changes will raise its value before they go to market.
