The real math

What it costs to hire in-house

Building a full internal team is a $600K–$800K annual decision. Fractional-as-a-Service gives you the same firepower at a fraction of the cost.

Full-time hire
Chief Marketing Officer
$300K+/yr
Salary, benefits, equity, recruiting fees, before you've bought a single tool or made a single hire under them.
Full-time hire
Chief Operating Officer
$200K+/yr
Ops leadership at scale carries full compensation overhead plus 6–9 months to become effective in your context.
Coherence Essential: per function
Fractional Leader
$9,500/mo
One flat fee. Up to 20 hrs/wk. No recruiting fees, no benefits, no equity, no ramp-up time. Cancel or scale with 30 days notice.

The math: hiring a CMO, COO, and HR Director in-house is a $650K+ annual commitment with 9–12 months of ramp-up. Coherence's Embedded Partner tier covers the equivalent function at under $190K/year, and you can start in two weeks.

Common questions

Pricing FAQ

Engagements start with a 90-day pilot, enough time to see real results without a long-term lock-in. After that, you're on a month-to-month retainer. You can scale up, scale down, or pause with 30 days notice. No re-contracting, no new onboarding cycles.
Fractional-as-a-Service is about depth, not breadth. A fractional CMO at 20 hrs/wk is embedded in your marketing function, building the team, owning the roadmap, running the work. If you need multiple functions covered, that's Managed Execution, a bundled team with a discount. Take the free assessment and we'll scope it.
Hours per week. Core (10 hrs) is for teams that need regular embedded leadership but aren't the bottleneck. Essential (20 hrs) is for companies where the function is a real growth lever: half-time depth, full execution. Embedded Partner (35 hrs) is near full-time, you're building or transforming the function and need maximum depth without a permanent hire.
