The Overboard Protocol™, the structured exit of one owner. Buy-out planning. Sale planning. Independent implementation of an agreed separation. Structured negotiation architecture. Deadlock-to-resolution planning.
Most owners wait too long here. The dispute hardens, positions become public, and the only exit left is the expensive one. A structured separation, run by a neutral, ends it earlier and cheaper.
By agreement between the parties, or privately by one owner planning the path before raising it. Fixed in scope. Fixed in fee. It does not drift into open-ended engagement.
Fixed fee per engagement, agreed before work begins, milestone billed: 40% on engagement, 30% at midpoint, 30% at resolution. No hourly rates.
