What This Revenue Model Is
The leaders navigating the hardest decisions of their careers are not looking for a coach. They are looking for a room of equals who have been there too, and who will tell them the truth that their team, their board, and their advisors all have reasons not to say. A curated peer council is that room.
A confidential room of peers, billed annually.

is the work
Leaders pay well to sit with peers who face the same decisions. The revenue is recurring and premium, but facilitating high-caliber rooms and recruiting members is heavy work, which is why it scores as a Lucrative Job.
Established peer groups anchor the range: Vistage runs roughly $13,000 to $22,000 a year, and CEO peer groups broadly span $7,000 to $25,000+, with elite networks higher.
Benchmarked to 2025-2026 peer-advisory pricing (Vistage, Leaders Adapt, theleadernews). The caliber of the room sets the price.
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
