How it works

Four stages, in order.

Every engagement follows the same path a founder would follow if they had done this twice before. AI accelerates the production work at each stage. The judgment that matters stays human.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Discovery Session · $250

    We start with a structured founder intake and a two-hour fit conversation. You describe the school you intend to build; we listen for where the launch will actually stall.

    You provide
    Your concept, target enrollment, tuition target, state, and current status.
    The Studio builds
    An intake summary and a 45-minute market scan of your local landscape.
    You receive
    A written summary of how the Studio understood your school and a recommended next step.
    AI accelerates
    First-pass synthesis of your intake into a working brief.
    Human judgment
    The read on whether you are ready — and what is really in the way.
  2. 02

    Diagnose

    72-Hour Launch Audit · $1,500

    We score your school across seven categories and name the three highest-leverage moves to make first, in order. For pre-launch founders, it is the door into the process. For operating schools, it is an outside diagnostic.

    You provide
    Your website URL, tuition target, target enrollment, and compliance status.
    The Studio builds
    A seven-category diagnostic, a Launch Readiness Score, and a three-move recommendation.
    You receive
    A written diagnostic pack, a Loom walkthrough, and a live review call.
    AI accelerates
    Drafting the diagnostic structure and benchmarking against sector data.
    Human judgment
    Which three moves matter most — a judgment call only an operator can make.
  3. 03

    Build

    Full Buildout · $2,500 × 4

    We produce the launch infrastructure in sequence: positioning, tuition, admissions funnel, website copy, parent FAQ, and operating documents.

    You provide
    Decisions on tuition, mission, curriculum, and target family. These are yours.
    The Studio builds
    Every parent-facing document, the website preview, and the admissions system.
    You receive
    A complete deliverables library plus website source files. You choose where to host.
    AI accelerates
    First-draft production of copy, FAQs, frameworks, and social calendars.
    Human judgment
    Every artifact is reviewed and signed off by Dr. Harris before it reaches you.
  4. 04

    Launch

    Included in the Full Buildout

    We plan and support the launch campaign: the 30-day social plan, the open house, and the 90-day launch calendar.

    You provide
    Your dates, your voice, and your presence at the open house.
    The Studio builds
    The launch calendar, the open house run-of-show, and the enrollment dashboard.
    You receive
    A dated launch plan and a founder-facing dashboard to run it.
    AI accelerates
    Drafting the social calendar and the campaign assets.
    Human judgment
    The launch strategy and the enrollment ask — set by a founder who has done it.
Design Lab
$1,500 à la carte · or $250/mo × 6

The Design Lab is not a stage. It is a standing working space you can pull into any point in the path — mission language, tuition decisions, admissions questions, curriculum framing, hiring calls — or use on its own if you already have infrastructure and just need ongoing operator time.
