Frequently

Inner Score Operations is a Somatic Resource Cartography™ and operating systems practice. We map the living system beneath a founder-led organization, turn scattered priorities, relationships, decisions, follow-up, and business complexity into a Living Atlas, then install a LivingOS™ the founder or leadership team can actually use.

Inner Score may provide strategic recommendations, but the work does not stop at advice. Depending on the engagement, Inner Score may diagnose, map, install, coordinate, document, test, transfer, and steward the operating system.

No. Inner Score is designed for founder-led creative-economy businesses, culture-forward nonprofits, and community-rooted ventures. The strongest fit is an organization with real traction whose mission, relationships, delivery, and operating needs have become too complex for one person to hold alone.

Somatic Resource Cartography™ is Inner Score's method for making the living organization visible. It maps vision, people, relationships, money, information, authority, systems, friction, and capacity as one connected environment.

The organization is not treated as a machine made only of workflows. The method also considers how pressure, trust, conflict, overload, unclear expectations, relationships, and lived experience affect the organization's ability to move.

No. Process mapping may be included, but it is only one layer. Inner Score also maps the authority, resources, relationships, information, constraints, and operating conditions surrounding the process.

Most individual founders should begin with the Atlas Reading™. Founders who already know they need a working operating system may apply for LivingOS™ + Atlas. Organizations seeking active operating support may apply for a Short-Term Operations Partnership.

The session maps what you are carrying, what resources and relationships are already present, what is creating friction, and what needs to move next. You receive the session recording and a written summary within three business days.

No. The Atlas Reading is founder-level. Broader business mapping and installation belong inside LivingOS™ + Atlas or a Partnership.

No. At delivery, you may take the map and act independently, apply for LivingOS™ + Atlas, request a Partnership, or decide that no additional work is currently needed.

The Living Atlas™ is the source-of-truth map. Depending on scope, it may include vision, offers, entities, stakeholders, authority, resources, relationships, risks, decisions, systems, leverage points, and the next operating mandate.

LivingOS™ is the operating system layer created from the Atlas. It organizes priorities, relationships, follow-up, decisions, projects, pipeline visibility, operating rhythm, templates, trackers, and light automation where useful.

LivingOS™ + Atlas creates the business source of truth and installs the founder’s operating system. The Atlas shows what is true. The LivingOS™ helps the founder move through it every week.

LivingOS™ + Atlas creates the source of truth and installs the founder’s operating system. LivingOS™ Partnership includes the source of truth, the personal OS, the business OS, and limited Founder’s Office or Office of the CEO support over a 3-month term.

LivingOS™ Business-in-a-Box is the packaged operating asset created from proven work. It may contain operating architecture, workflows, decision rules, documentation, templates, ownership, technology records, training, and transfer materials.

The Atlas Reading is usually delivered during the same week it is booked. LivingOS™ + Atlas usually takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on entity count and access. Short-Term Operations Partnerships begin with a 90-day minimum. LivingOS™ Business-in-a-Box usually takes 4 to 8 weeks.

No. Operating engagements are fixed-term and include defined review gates. At the end of the mandate, the parties decide whether to continue, renew, narrow the scope, transfer ownership, move into Stewardship, or exit.

When appropriate, yes. Inner Score begins with the operating need, not a preferred software stack. Existing tools may be retained, reorganized, connected, replaced, or removed based on what the Atlas reveals.

Inner Score cannot responsibly accept accountability without access to the information, people, systems, budgets, and decisions required to perform the work. The level of authority required depends on the engagement.

Not automatically. Any approval, signing, spending, hiring, negotiating, or public-representation authority must be specifically documented in writing.

Client delays may move delivery dates. The timeline depends on timely access to leaders, records, systems, approvals, interviews, budgets, and decisions included in the scope.

LivingOS™ Partnership supports the founder’s operating system, business system, decision flow, and weekly rhythm. A CoS or COO Partnership means Inner Score is stepping into a defined operating seat with written authority, accountability, access, and responsibility.

Atlas Reading: $497. LivingOS™ + Atlas: $5,500 for one entity, $6,500 for two entities, and $7,500 for three to four entities. CoS or COO Partnership: $7,500/month for up to 5 team members and $10,000/month for 6+ team members. LivingOS™ Partnership: $22,500 for up to 5 team members and $30,000 for 6+ team members over a 3-month term. LivingOS™ Business-in-a-Box: $15,000, $25,000, or $35,000 by scope. Atlas Stewardship is priced after scope review. Final pricing depends on entity count, team size, operating complexity, access, timeline, and the amount of responsibility transferred to Inner Score.

Payment schedules are written into the agreement. LivingOS™ + Atlas requires a minimum $500 deposit. LivingOS™ Partnership requires a minimum $750 deposit. Approved payment schedules may be structured across 3 or 6 payments, but no payment schedule may extend more than 60 calendar days after final delivery or term completion.

Inner Score primarily works through fixed offers, defined scopes, and written operating mandates. Hourly work may be used for approved additions, transition support, or limited advisory needs, but it is not the primary service model.

A brief fit conversation may be available for qualified organizational engagements. Founders seeking personal clarity should begin with the paid Atlas Reading rather than using a discovery call as a free strategy session.

No. Inner Score does not provide daily admin, inbox management, personal assistant support, bookkeeping, payroll, or full-time coverage under a part-time engagement.

No. Inner Score maps the operating system and helps leadership coordinate qualified support. Inner Score does not provide licensed legal, tax, accounting, securities, clinical, employment, or HR advice.

Pre-idea ventures with no traction; organizations seeking general administrative support; founders unwilling to provide required access or authority; businesses expecting a complete rebuild without an appropriate budget; teams looking for software installation without operational diagnosis or source-of-truth mapping; organizations expecting licensed legal, tax, accounting, clinical, investment, or human-resources advice.

Potentially. Remote work may be available depending on the engagement, time zone, legal requirements, data access, and implementation needs. Travel requirements are scoped separately.
