Parallel workstream retainer: one, two or three initiatives running at once
The Parallel Workstream Retainer prices our work by the number of initiatives running at once. One workstream is $4,060 a month, two are $8,000 a month and three are $11,920 a month. Each workstream has its own goal, a lead on our side, a weekly showcase and 10 measured questions.

What happens next: in the 30 minute conversation we confirm the scope, the delivery date and the terms with you. The written agreement then fixes the price shown here, and no payment is taken before it.
What we deliver and when
- One, two or three concurrent workstreams, each with a named goal, a lead on our side and a weekly showcase of shipped work.
- 10 measured questions per workstream on ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode (150 planned answers a month each).
- One stated business priority for each quarter, agreed in writing in its first week, with every workstream reporting against it.
- A monthly memo: what shipped by workstream, the results on its questions and the next month's plan.
Who it is for
A company with several priorities at the same time, such as a competitor comparison set, a review-site push and a new product line, that wants to buy work by initiative rather than by page count.
Included
- Workstream swaps at quarter boundaries: a finished initiative is replaced by the next on the agreed list.
- A written scope for each workstream before it starts.
Not included
- Changes of workstream mid-quarter, unless both sides agree in writing.
- A fixed page count. Each workstream plan states what it will ship in the quarter.
- Added scope, which is a separate purchase.
Method and receipts
Every count we report comes from our published method, version 1.1: the base and the date beside each figure, failed captures listed apart from the valid base, and a receipt kept for every observed answer. Read the method.
Terms
- Agreed in writing before payment, with no automatic enrollment.
- We do not promise any ranking, placement, traffic or revenue result. What the engines say is recorded on stated dates.
Questions buyers ask
How is a workstream different from Program?
Program, at $5,500 a month, delivers a fixed count of 12 pages and 8 posts. A workstream is one initiative with its own goal and whatever mix of work it needs.
What is the quarterly focus for?
It points every workstream at one business priority you state, so the memo reports against something you chose.
Can we change workstreams mid-quarter?
Only by written agreement. The default is to swap at the quarter boundary.
