HOW NJORD WORKS · WHAT THIS COSTS

Three things. One free. One free. One paid.

Njord is financial-modelling consulting from Chris Gardner. Execution runs through LocaliQ. The model itself is free and yours to keep. The strategy session is free, thirty minutes, no deck. When you’re ready to put the plan in market, that’s a conversation with Chris about the path forward — and LocaliQ is the execution arm built for it.

DELIVERED AS

A branded PDF you can take to the board.

Night Sky cover, copper-foil frame, KPI quartet — followed by the full modelled brief on the pages that follow. The plan is yours: take it to your CFO, your current agency, your platform reps, or anywhere else.

PAGE 1 PREVIEW · Pages 2–5 carry the modelled brief
NO LOCK-IN. ANYWHERE.

You own your model. It works in any ad account.

Take the PDF to your in-house team. Hand it to your current agency. Show it to your Google or Meta rep. The model is the deliverable — what you do with it is yours.

THE THREE QUESTIONS WE GET MOST

The honest answers.

Does the free tool become a paid subscription later?

No. The tool is free now and will stay free. No account, no expiry, no quietly-added paywall. If a paid version ever ships, it’ll be a separate product on a separate URL — and existing users will be told before anything changes for them.

Will you call me after I build the model?

Only if you book a session. There’s no automated email drip, no follow-up sales rep, no “let’s hop on a quick call.” You initiate the conversation when you want to. Until then, the model is yours and we’re not in your inbox.

Can I run this in my own ad accounts, or am I locked in to Njord for execution?

You can run it anywhere — the PDF reads in plain English (channel splits, projected CPL, brand floor, payback), and the model is yours regardless. The honest answer though: Njord is financial-modelling consulting offered by Chris Gardner, and LocaliQ is the execution arm built for it. When you’re ready to put the plan in market, the cleanest path is a conversation with Chris about how — whether that’s LocaliQ running the buy end-to-end, your team running it with Chris consulting alongside, or something else. The model travels. The execution call is worth having.

WHEN YOU’RE READY

Build the model. Then talk to Chris.

No card. No automated follow-up. The strategy call is where the path forward gets mapped — what to run, who runs it, and how the math holds up at execution. That’s the conversation.

NO CARD. NO CALL UNLESS YOU ASK. YOU GET A PDF YOU OWN.
