How it works
Where families come from, what happens in the first hour, and what one more enrollment is worth.
A recorded review of your own site and intake, with one fix you can make this week.
Two weeks, a prioritized fix list, a one-hour call, the $1,500 credited toward any project, and a full refund if you say it was not worth it.
One page that shows whether it worked, so you decide what to renew.
