Can we upgrade to a larger package later if needed?

Yes — and it’s more common than you might expect.

Many candidates start with a clear sense of scope and then discover, often after the kickoff strategy call, that the competitive landscape is more complex than they assumed, that additional schools belong on the list, or that they want deeper support in areas they initially planned to handle themselves. That’s normal. The strategy process is meant to sharpen your thinking, and sharper thinking sometimes changes the plan.

Upgrading is straightforward. You can move from Silver to Gold or Gold to Platinum mid-engagement. You can add schools to your application count. You can layer in à la carte services — interview prep, resume work, the M7 Insider Audit™, blind peer review — at any point they’d genuinely add value. Pricing adjusts proportionally; you’re not penalized for starting lean.

What we don’t do is push bigger packages upfront. If Silver is the right fit when you begin, we’ll say so. If the work later suggests Gold or Platinum would serve you better, we’ll explain why — and let you decide. The door stays open; the upsell stays off.
