Fractional Integrator
The Integrator seat, filled by an operator.
If you run on EOS®, you know the owner needs an Integrator to make the vision real. When that seat is empty, the whole system wobbles. KPI puts an experienced fractional Integrator in the seat to run your weekly leadership meetings, own the P&L and drive the quarterly priorities to done.
The Integrator seat
What is a Fractional Integrator?
A Fractional Integrator is an experienced operator who fills the Integrator seat in an EOS company part time. They run the weekly leadership meeting, hold the team accountable, drive the quarterly priorities to done and turn the owner’s ideas into a plan the business actually executes.
Most owner-led companies have a strong owner. What they’re missing is the Integrator: the operator who turns big ideas into a plan, holds the team accountable and runs the business day to day. Our fractional Integrators fill that seat without the cost of a full-time hire.
Whether you call it an Integrator or a Fractional COO, the job is the same: turn the vision into results.

The comparison
Fractional Integrator vs a full-time hire vs an outside coach
A full-time Integrator is a permanent executive hire. An outside coach teaches a system but does not run the business. A fractional Integrator sits in the seat itself: running the meetings, owning the numbers and executing the plan, without a full-time salary.

| Time to start | Months to hire | Weeks | Days |

Questions
Fractional Integrator questions.
Do we have to run on EOS?
It helps, but it isn’t required. Many of the businesses we help run on EOS and want the Integrator seat filled. If you run a different operating system, or none yet, we bring the same clarity, structure and accountability to your business.
Integrator or Fractional COO, what’s the difference?
They’re the same job with different language. Integrator is the EOS term. Fractional COO is the broader one. Either way, we own operations, run the team and turn the vision into results.
How much does it cost?
Engagements start at $6,500/month with no long-term contracts, a fraction of the cost of a full-time Integrator.

This is where value gets built
Filling the Integrator seat is the first move in a bigger arc. KPI helps owners build a more valuable business, buy and integrate the right acquisitions, and sell when the time comes. The work the operator does inside your business is what makes it worth more when any of those days arrive.
Jeff has held the seat twelve times, and KPI has been working inside owner-led businesses since 2022. See what the work produced.
