Stuck? We're here.
Three paths to help. They start free and stay that way. You don't have to open your checkbook to get unstuck. The only paid path exists for the small number of situations that genuinely warrant it — and even then, only if you decide it's worth it.
Pick the level of help that fits where you are.
1. Peer support — at the next session
The fastest way to get unstuck on most things is to ask someone who got past the same wall last month. That's what the working group is for. Bring your specific question. The room is small enough that you'll get real time at the table.
Best for: "I tried this and it didn't work, what am I missing?" / "Which tool would you actually pick if you were me?" / "Is this safe to do with customer data?" / "Has anyone here actually built one of these?"
2. Self-serve — read, build, iterate
Every page on this site is free to read. The 30-day starter plan walks you from "never used AI for business" to "I have one thing that works." The method explainer shows you the whole stack — cloud server, SSH, AI as your developer — and the cost ladder spells out what you'd actually spend (spoiler: nothing, until you choose to).
Most people who get stuck just need to read the next page. That's not a failure mode. That's the design.
3. Cichocki Advisory — when something's too big for a session
Some questions can't be answered in a community room. A real compliance review. A custom integration. A board-level AI strategy. A specific contract clause you need eyes on. That's when Cichocki Advisory engages.
NDA-first. We sign before you share anything sensitive. No retainer required to start — the first conversation is free, and you'll know inside of an hour whether the engagement is worth it. If it's not, we say so. We'd rather lose a small engagement than take one we're going to regret.
The cost depends entirely on the scope. We don't have published "packages." Real work has real estimates, given after we understand what you actually need.
The fastest channel is the simplest one.
There's no support ticket system. No bot to argue with. No "your call is important to us" hold music. The fastest way to get a real answer is to email us at the address below or come to the next session.
Direct email
For session questions, "I'm stuck on this specific thing," or anything that doesn't fit into the public room.
hello@cichocki.comWe answer when we can. We aim for "within a couple of business days." It's not 24/7 support — it's a small team that reads its own inbox.
We win when you win. That's a team.
Most "support" pages talk about response SLAs and ticket priorities. This one talks about something else: we're not running a help desk. We're running a working group. The relationship goes both ways — and the asks on your side are small.
If something we taught you ends up working: tell us. Bring a neighbor to the next session. When you grow and you have an introduction we'd benefit from, make it. When you build something cool with the method, send us a screenshot. That's the reciprocity. It's never invoiced.
The owners who help us back end up as informal members of an actual team. That's the version of "support" we're really offering. The free emails are easy. The team is the real product.
