Retainer Model
A standing intelligence partnership.
Stock & Milster works with select clients on monthly advisory retainers. Engagements are calibrated to scope, market coverage, data depth, reporting cadence, and level of executive support.

Decision Horizon
Diligence-grade intelligence, delivered on a standing cadence.
Retainers exist for clients whose decisions compound — where the cost of incomplete information dwarfs the cost of advisory. Each engagement is structured around a recurring intelligence cycle: surveillance, synthesis, recommendation, and executive briefing.

Strategic Review
Intelligence before capital is deployed.
Engagements begin with a confidential scoping conversation. We assess fit, calibrate cadence, and define the intelligence surface before any retainer is set.
