Consulting

Consulting built for music professionals who want AI to produce real leverage, not more noise. Four ways to work together, depending on how much support you require:

Exploratory & Advisory Sessions

A structured, one-time engagement to audit how you work today, find the highest-leverage AI opportunities, and hand you a practical plan for what to do next. Ideal if you're overwhelmed by tools or want a clean starting point without committing to a retainer.

Advisory Sprint
$675
Intake call, 2-hr audit, research & plan, findings review, and follow-up.
Deep Advisory Audit
$1,325
The deeper version: 4-hr audit, 10 hrs research, and a full findings deep-dive.
Custom Advisory
Custom
A specialized audit, or a scope that sits between the two tiers.

Ongoing Coaching

Ongoing coaching that installs real capability over time. You bring the problems; we solve them together, with targeted research and tool evaluation between sessions so every meeting moves you forward. Best for steady momentum without starting over every week.

Bi-Weekly
$600/mo
A meeting every two weeks, plus research between sessions.
Weekly
$1,075/mo
Weekly meetings and research for faster momentum.
Custom Coaching
Custom
Heavier implementation, lighter check-ins, or a team format.

Traditional Consulting

A deeper, hands-on engagement: discovery, strategy, implementation, and execution support. From short projects to larger initiatives.

Direct Work
$125/hr
Meetings, workshops, and facilitation.
Research & Build
$95/hr
Research, analysis, and deliverable development.
Project-Based
Custom
Fixed-scope pricing available for defined initiatives.

Ongoing Partnership Retainer

For teams who want SquareWave.ai in the loop on an ongoing basis, with research and decision support baked in. Keeps your AI adoption from drifting into half-used tools, inconsistent output, and wasted spend.

Partnership Lite
$900/mo
~6 hrs/mo. Solo operators and early adoption.
Core Partnership
$1,800/mo
~12 hrs/mo. Active implementation and steady optimization.
Embedded Partnership
$3,000/mo
~20 hrs/mo. Teams and multiple workstreams.
Custom Partnership
Custom
Multi-team support or a hybrid with heavier implementation.

Need a specialist?

Some work calls for deep, specialized expertise and technical skillsets. When this occurs, we connect you with a vetted Trusted Partner. Specialist rates vary widely by discipline, so this work is scoped and quoted up front: You will always know the number before anything starts.

Implementation

Plans are easy; shipping is hard. Implementation is where we turn strategy into systems that actually get used, from owning the AI workstream to building automations, deploying tools, and standing up custom technical solutions.

Project Management AI Workstream Ownership

We run the AI portion of your initiative with discipline, scope, milestones, risk management, QA, and clear reporting to leadership, so it ships, sticks, and produces measurable value instead of becoming an expensive demo. Ideal when nobody owns the AI workstream and it keeps drifting.

Fractional Lead
$2,400–$7,200/mo
Embedded part-time ownership, ~16–48 hrs/mo, scaled to your initiative.
Dedicated Lead
$22k–$28k/mo
Near full-time ownership for a major build (~0.75–1.0 FTE).
Project / Rollout
Custom
Fixed-scope SOW, plus vendor evaluation, pilots, and rollout.

Automated Workflow Design & Deployment

Scoped per project

We design and build automations that remove repetitive, time-consuming work, from content and marketing pipelines to operations and back-office tasks, using the right mix of tools, agents, and integrations.

AI App / Tool Setup & Deployment

Per tool / project

Already know what you want to achieve? We assist with tool selection, setup, configuration, and rollout, so that you and your team actually use them, instead of paying for another subscription that sits idle.

Technical Implementation

Custom · specialist

The deeper, hands-on technical work: Process automation, AI-assisted workflows, API integrations, Custom GPTs and chatbots, and local model deployment. This is specialist territory, delivered with the right Trusted Partner.

Resourcing & SME Identification

Custom · per role

AI builds stall when the team is missing the right roles. We map what you actually need, define the roles and screening criteria, and help you source and select the right people or partners, without overhiring or overspending.

AI-Assisted App Development

Accelerated app builds for artists, labels, and music brands who want an owned channel, not another social-platform dependency. We lock scope and ship a clean, simple, reliable app in weeks, not months.

Starter App
$3,000–$4,500
3–5 core screens, basic content, light integrations, iOS.
Pro App
$5,000–$7,500
More screens, richer integrations, push notifications, stronger QA.
Add-ons
Custom
Android build, ongoing maintenance, deeper integrations, content prep.

Custom Engagements

Not every AI challenge fits a predefined package. When you have a specific workflow, an unusual constraint, an odd tool stack, or a tight deadline, we design a custom engagement around exactly what you need, with clear scope, defined deliverables, and a clean handoff.

It doesn't have to be end-to-end. A custom engagement might look like:

Specialized audits Bespoke builds & workflows Blended multi-service engagements One-off advisory projects

How it works

01

Discovery

A short call to understand the problem, your constraints, and what success looks like.

02

Scope & Plan

A clear proposal: deliverables, timeline, success criteria, and investment, so there are no surprises.

03

Delivery

Execution with structured check-ins, documented outputs, and a clean, practical handoff.

Pricing

Because every custom engagement is different, pricing is scoped and quoted up front, based on the complexity, timeline, and requirements of your specific project. If a specialist Trusted Partner is involved, their rate is factored in and confirmed before any work begins, so you always know the number first.

Have something in mind? Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll design an engagement that fits.
