Hong Kong Executive Talent & Operational Transformation Pricing Guide
A transparent benchmark comparing Big-4 consulting engagements, full-time C-suite payroll, agency execution, and Overture’s partner-led transformation sprints.
The Hong Kong SME Leverage Gap
Mid-sized Hong Kong enterprises face a structural leverage gap. Big-4 consultancies bill $300k+ for static slide decks, while hiring a COO/CDO costs $1M+ annually before proving ROI. Overture bridges this gap through high-intensity, partner-led systemization.

Executive FAQ & Decision Objections
Clear answers to commercial and operational considerations.
Q:Why is the 2-Week Sprint priced at HK$68,000?
This price reflects intensive, direct involvement by senior partners rather than junior analysts. It provides an immediate, low-risk diagnostic without committing to long-term executive payroll or multi-hundred-thousand-dollar consulting engagements.
Q:What if we don't proceed to Stage 2 Joint Venture?
The 2-Week Sprint is entirely self-contained. At the end of 14 days, you receive complete ownership of all operational audits, tacit knowledge SOPs, and AI automation blueprints to execute independently or with internal teams.
Q:How do you guarantee partner-level involvement?
We strictly cap our operational throughput to a maximum of 4 client sprints per quarter. All interviews, system architectures, and execution blueprints are conducted directly by senior managing partners.
Q:Can this audit fee be offset against future engagements?
Yes. If both parties agree to transition into a Stage 2 Joint Venture or Retainer structure within 30 days of sprint completion, 100% of the HK$68,000 investment is credited against future partnership terms.
