Cycle Steward

Rate card

Pay for the clock, or pay for the chair.

Portal seats and the Start pack are Stripe — city IT or private-pay, never leftover. Stewardship is leftover-gated consulting. One credit, two pay paths, no SaaS line on TD-290.

Start this week

The $500 that qualifies the rest.

Start pack

$500

The tripwire. Leftover diagnostic, a draft Advisor letter on your letterhead, 90 days of the Center portal, and a $500 credit on any stewardship package opened within 12 months.

  • 48-hour leftover memo (allotment letter minus live MPA quote)
  • Package fit: Anchor, Standard, Through-cutover, or Hourly
  • Draft Advisor letter — you send it; we do not lobby the Branch
  • 90-day Center portal license (city IT budget, never a residual software line)
Pay with Stripe

City budget or private-pay. Not SETNA leftover.

Portal · city budget

Keep leftover math between replacement years.

Not a residual software line. Chapter III does not pay for SaaS from leftover. Directors who are not in a replacement year still need the clocks.

Two months free vs monthly

Center

$1,490 / yr

Same Center workspace, billed annually. The usual buy between replacement years so leftover math does not live in email.

  • Everything in Center monthly
  • Annual invoice or card — city budget, not leftover
  • Credit toward Start pack if you convert mid-year
Pay with Stripe

City budget or private-pay. Not SETNA leftover.

Two months free vs monthly

County

$3,990 / yr

Annual county seat. Keep residual clocks honest across a county while each center still owns its Advisor relationship.

  • Everything in County monthly
  • Annual city/county IT path — never SETNA residual
Pay with Stripe

City budget or private-pay. Not SETNA leftover.

Stewardship · leftover-gated

Quoted copy. Deposit via Start pack. Remainder AP.

We do not quote Standard until leftover after MPA is on paper. Easier to reserve this NTE on TD-288 and amend down than to invent a line after acceptance.

85 hours

Time-boxed owner-rep for 1–4 positions. Quote hygiene, Friday brief, residual pack. Portal included at $0 on the residual invoice.

  • Leftover math and residual strategy memo
  • Artifact register, weekly briefs, change log
  • TD-284 packet support and 90-day residual pack
  • Cycle Steward Portal for the engagement
Reserve with Start pack
