Four ways to work with the Studio.
Discovery is where every founder starts. The Audit and Full Buildout follow when the infrastructure work is real. The Design Lab sits alongside the path — pull it in when you need operator time, or use it on its own.
Discovery Session
The starting point for every engagement.
A two-hour founder-led session with Dr. Harris. We map where your school stands, name what is actually blocking the launch, and decide whether the 72-Hour Audit is the right next step. The $250 is credited toward the Audit if you upgrade within 30 days.
72-Hour Launch Audit
A written diagnostic for pre-launch or operating schools.
A seven-category diagnostic delivered 72 hours after intake. For pre-launch founders, it is the door into the process. For operating schools, it is an outside diagnostic — the same read applied to a school already running. Standalone deliverable. If you choose to move to the Full Buildout within 30 days, the $1,500 is credited toward it.
Full Microschool Buildout
A complete enrollment-ready school.
Six to ten weeks. Every parent-facing document, the website preview, the admissions system, the operating cadence, and the founder-facing dashboard. Four milestone installments of $2,500. You receive the site preview plus source files and choose where to host it — we hand off; we do not operate.
Design Lab
On-demand working space with Dr. Harris.
An ongoing working space you can pull into any point in the path — mission language, tuition decisions, admissions questions, curriculum framing, hiring calls. $1,500 à la carte for a five-hour block, or $250 per month for six months for three hours a month. Sits alongside the path; it is not a stage.
The starting point for every engagement.
A two-hour founder-led session with Dr. Harris. We map where your school actually stands, name what is blocking the launch, and decide together whether the 72-Hour Audit is the right next step.
What happens in the two hours
- Part 1Founder intake and current-state read.
- Part 2Where the launch (or the operating school) is actually stalled.
- Part 3The one or two moves to make first — and whether the Audit fits.
Discovery is delivered live over Zoom. If you upgrade to the 72-Hour Launch Audit within 30 days, the $250 is credited toward the $1,500 audit fee.
Pricing and timelines, side by side.
Every engagement runs through the same operator judgment — the difference is scope and cadence.
