Question 1

Who does Rookettle work with?

Accepted Answer

Rookettle works with U.S. small businesses that are building a team and need practical people or operations systems, without adding a full-time HR or operations team.

Question 2

What kinds of work can Rookettle help with?

Accepted Answer

Work can include employee handbooks, standard operating procedures (SOPs), onboarding systems, staff scheduling, performance documentation, and business organization. The useful next step depends on what is happening in your business and what your team needs to do day to day.

Question 3

How do consulting engagements work?

Accepted Answer

We start by talking through what feels difficult or is getting missed in the business. Together, we choose a useful next step, then shape practical people and operations systems around how your business and team actually work.

Question 4

What is the difference between project-based and ongoing consulting?

Accepted Answer

Project-based consulting focuses on a defined need, such as creating an onboarding system or documenting a recurring process. Ongoing consulting provides continued support as your team and day-to-day needs evolve. We can talk through which approach fits the work you have in mind.

Question 5

How are consulting fees determined?

Accepted Answer

Proposed client fees follow a scope tailored to your business and the work you choose. We discuss your priorities, the work involved, and the support you need before proposing a fee; this page does not list fixed client prices or Rookettle rates. A founder startup-cost estimate is not a client price or a Rookettle rate.

Question 6

Does Rookettle provide legal advice or legal review?

Accepted Answer

No. Rookettle provides practical people and operations guidance, not legal advice or legal review. Rookettle can flag when location-specific review may be needed, but legal questions and review should go to qualified counsel.
