STRATEGIC DISCOVERY ENGAGEMENT LETTER

Between Maine Street Market LLC, a Florida limited liability company, doing business as GZD Consulting (“GZD”), and [Kenneth Omoruyi, on behalf of CKO CPAs & Advisors and the Enrolled Agent Marketplace] (“you”). Dated [____].

This sets out the first step: the Strategic Discovery Engagement. The terms of any ongoing retainer are set out separately, once we have chosen the path together.

1. What this covers. I look across all three engines, your firm, the Enrolled Agent Marketplace, and your founder authority work, and bring you a clear picture of where each stands and what it opens up.
2. What it produces. A written diagnostic of all three engines, and the first thirty days of the plan. Both are yours to keep, whatever you decide next.
3. The fee. $5,000, one time, due before the work begins.
4. The credit. Should you move into a retainer in the same season, the $5,000 applies in full against your first month, with only the balance due as we begin.
5. What this is not. This letter covers Discovery only. The ongoing partnership, its tier, scope, cadence, and equity, is set out in a separate agreement once we have settled the path in person. [To be completed after Houston.]
6. Timing. The work begins on [start date to be confirmed]. The two working sessions are scheduled by mutual agreement.
7. Confidentiality. Everything shared in this work is governed by the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement we have both signed.
8. Governing law. This letter is governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
