Become a founding client

The Client Founding Program gives a limited number of selected companies the opportunity to engage Johntek Consulting at a reduced introductory fee.

Founding clients receive 30% off their first qualifying assessment, with the same scope, attention and quality expected from a standard Johntek engagement.

In return, I gain the opportunity to refine Johntek’s assessment process, document measurable outcomes and build the first client success stories for the consultancy.

What you receive

As a founding client, your company receives:

• A 30% discount on the professional fee for your first qualifying assessment
• Direct access to the consultant conducting the technical analysis
• Findings supported by technical evidence and stakeholder input
• Clear diagrams, recommendations and prioritized next steps
• A practical implementation roadmap
• A final leadership readout and handoff
• The option to continue with a separate implementation engagement

The program does not provide a reduced or experimental version of the service. The agreed scope and deliverables will be documented in the proposal and Statement of Work.

Who is eligible?

The program is only available to selected companies whose challenges, technical environment and timing align with Johntek’s expertise.

This founding-client rate provides your team with senior, high-leverage support at a preferential rate, allowing me to validate and polish my engagement frameworks for early partners as I scale

A suitable founding client should:

• Have a clear engineering, architecture, cloud, delivery or observability challenge
• Provide timely access to relevant systems, documentation and stakeholders
• Assign a technical point of contact for the engagement
• Be prepared to discuss the business and engineering impact of the problem
• Provide candid feedback after the assessment
• Allow relevant outcomes to be measured when practical

Participation is evaluated during the initial discovery conversation. Meeting these conditions does not guarantee acceptance because availability is limited.

How the discount works

The founding-client discount is calculated against Johntek’s standard fee for the agreed assessment.

For example:

CI/CD assessment fee: $9,500 Founding-client discount: $2,500 Final professional fee: $7,000

The exact standard fee, discount and final engagement price will be shown separately in the proposal.

What I ask from founding clients

Founding clients are asked to help Johntek improve and demonstrate its services by:

• Providing honest feedback about the engagement
• Sharing relevant before-and-after metrics when available
• Participating in a short post-engagement review
• Considering an honest testimonial after successful delivery
• Considering permission for an anonymized case study

A positive testimonial is never required. Client names, logos, quotations and confidential information will only be published with separate written consent.

Program validity

The Client Founding Program is available for qualifying agreements signed through December 1st, 2026.

Availability is limited and the program may close before that date once the available founding-client engagements have been filled.

A proposal must be accepted and the required initial payment received before the expiration date. Engagement scheduling remains subject to Johntek’s availability.

Program terms

• Participation is available only to companies selected by Johntek Consulting.
• The 30% discount applies to one qualifying assessment per company.
• The discount applies only to the professional service fee stated in the proposal.
• Implementation work, embedded services, change requests, travel, taxes, third-party tools and other expenses are excluded unless the proposal explicitly states otherwise.
• The discount cannot be combined with another promotion, credit or negotiated reduction.
• Any work outside the agreed scope requires a Change Order or separate Statement of Work.
• Standard contract, payment, access, confidentiality and client-responsibility terms continue to apply.
• The program has no cash value and cannot be transferred to another company.
• Johntek may modify or close the program for future applicants, but changes will not affect an agreement that has already been signed.
• If this page conflicts with a signed proposal, Master Services Agreement or Statement of Work, the signed documents take precedence.

Discuss your eligibility

If your engineering organization is experiencing growing delivery friction, architecture constraints, cloud complexity or limited production visibility, we can determine whether the program is a good fit during a short introductory conversation.
