NR4 TEAM OPERATING SYSTEM
Pricing built for real work.
Most teams don't have a talent problem. They have a clarity + coordination problem - ownership blur, slow decisions, avoided conflict, hybrid ambiguity.
NR4 turns dynamics into operational clarity, then anchors a 90-day plan + scoreboard your team can run.
Execution-ready
- Fact-based inputs -> shared reality
- Agreements -> cadence -> scoreboard
- Progress that survives calendar pressure
Built for teams that prefer clarity over hype.
Hybrid-ready
- Distributed coordination patterns
- Decision velocity + ownership clarity
- Less drift, less rework, fewer loops
Designed for modern, fast teams (not classrooms).
Independence over time
- Capability transfer by default
- No dependency games
- We make ourselves less needed
Your team owns the system. NR4 anchors it.
ENGAGEMENTS
Pick the cleanest next step.
If you're unsure, start with the Diagnostic Sprint. It creates a shared reality fast - then you decide whether to embed the system for 90 days.
Currency
Diagnostic Sprint
2-3 weeks - fastest clarity
$6.5k-$12.5k CAD
Best when you need a fact-based snapshot + non-negotiables + a 90-day plan your team can run.
- Team Snapshot (signals, friction map, root causes)
- Structured inputs: surveys + targeted interviews
- Debrief that makes hard conversations easier
- Operating Agreements (non-negotiables)
- 90-Day Plan + Scoreboard (owner + cadence + measures)
- Designed for hybrid / distributed teams
- Neutral, safe, direct facilitation (not therapy)
- You keep ownership. We reduce dependency over time.
Operating System Build
90 days - execution reliability
$18k-$45k CAD
Best when you want agreements -> cadence -> scoreboard embedded so execution stays reliable without constant rescue.
- Everything in the Sprint (or start from your existing diagnostics)
- Operating cadence: decision rhythms + meeting architecture
- Role clarity + ownership boundaries (reduce rework)
- Conflict hygiene + escalation rules (less avoidance loops)
- Execution Scoreboard: leading indicators + accountability
- Capability transfer (so NR4 becomes less needed over time)
- 3-month minimum engagement window
- Works with SLT, VP/Director layers, and a core team
- Hybrid-first; remote delivery available across Canada
Cultural Intelligence (CQ)
global teams - coordination + trust
$7.5k-$15k CAD
Best for multicultural / global teams where misread intent and hidden norms slow execution.
- CQ assessment + team profile (pattern-level insights)
- Debrief: norms, friction points, collaboration risks
- Practical agreements: communication + decision defaults
- Integration into your operating cadence
- Optional leader coaching add-on
- Use as standalone or as part of Sprint/OS Build
- Not DEI theatre - operational clarity for real teams
- Works especially well with hybrid ambiguity
Leader Advisory
for Directors/VPs - grooming + decisions
$250/hr CAD
Best when a leader needs sharp thinking, not motivation - promotions, scope shifts, people moves, difficult calls.
- Decision clarity under ambiguity
- Stakeholder navigation (business <-> tech bridge)
- Leadership operating habits (not personality theatre)
- Optional assessments (EQ-i, 360, strengths) when useful
- Always tied back to outcomes and execution
- Not the primary growth engine - best as an add-on
- Prefer retainer blocks when there is an active operating plan
- We will redirect you to Sprint if the issue is systemic/team-wide
Pricing varies by team size, complexity, and timeline. If your request is truly ad-hoc but the issue is systemic, we will say so and recommend the Sprint.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
What you get, in plain terms.

| Non-negotiablesOperating agreements | Remove ambiguity and repeated loops. | Same conflicts keep returning. |
| 90-Day PlanOwners + cadence | Convert intent into execution. | Great meetings, weak follow-through. |

FAQ
Answers without sales theatre.
Short, direct, and aligned with how leaders actually buy.
Do you do team building?
No. We build operating clarity. If you want an event, we are not the right fit. If you want execution reliability, we are.
What if leaders are sensitive or defensive?
That is why inputs are structured and fact-based. It lowers emotion and increases productive ownership. We design the debrief to keep people safe and direct.
Can we start small?
Yes: the scorecard first, then the Sprint. But if the issue is systemic, small often becomes slow. We will tell you the cleanest path.
Are you Toronto-only?
Toronto-based, but delivery can be remote across Canada. Hybrid teams are our default context.
Is CQ separate from team effectiveness?
It is often the missing layer for global or multicultural teams. CQ makes friction legible, then we translate it into practical operating agreements.
Why pricing ranges?
Because complexity changes cost. Team size, cross-functional scope, and timeline matter. Fit calls exist to prevent mis-scoped engagements.
