How an engagement unfolds

Six steps, in order, with nothing hidden along the way. You can stop at any point, and you stay in control of the pace throughout.


01

A first conversation

We talk, in confidence, to understand what you want preserved and whether the practice is a fit. There is no obligation and no pressure, and nothing is recorded.


02

Setting the terms

Together we agree on the scope, the number of sessions, and a cadence that suits your life. The boundaries, including what is off the table, are settled before any work begins.


03

The conversations

Each session is a guided, unhurried interview. You receive a few gentle prompts beforehand, and on the day you set the pace and decide where we go.


04

Shaping the record

Your steward turns the conversations into clear, organized entries, named and cross-linked so they can be found later. The aim is fidelity to what you said, not interpretation of it.


05

Your review

You read the record and decide what stays. Anything can be redacted or revised, and nothing moves into custody without your final approval.


06

Stewardship begins

We document your access rules and custody begins. You can add to or amend the record later, under the conditions you have set.


Engagement scopes

Every engagement is sized to the person. Three scopes give a sense of the range; fees are established privately once we understand what you want to preserve.

Scope 01

Focused

A small number of sessions on a single chapter or decision. For a specific piece of context you want preserved well.

Scope 02

Full

The complete practice across six to twelve conversations, covering a life’s reasoning, relationships, and lessons in depth.

Scope 03

Estate

A full engagement coordinated with your attorney or family office, with recipient-specific access and long-term custody provisions.
