Severance, PIP, or job offer?
Don’t sign yet.
Fulcrum advises and coaches you through severance agreements, PIP responses, job offers, employment agreements, compensation plans, commissions and equity grants — what you’re giving up, what to push back on, and the exact words to use.
Both tools are free and need no documents — the risk check is four structured questions, the ROI calculator runs entirely in your browser.
You get exactly what to ask for
Prioritized asks, expected trade-offs, and suggested wording you send in your own voice
Severance and employment transitions are our specialty
Every material term in plain English — release scope, restrictions, timing, equity, pay, unpaid commissions and performance plans
Days, not meetings
Fully async: short intake in, written playbook back — no calendar required - you decide if you want calls
Flat pricing, and we only win when you do
Published flat fees; negotiation support adds a success fee only on an increase in gross base cash
Already signed? You may still have time.
If you are 40 or older, federal law generally gives you 7 calendar days after signing to revoke a severance release.
Workers under 40 only get that right if the agreement contains a revocation clause. The window is short and it is easy to miss — have your severance agreement read now.

What we are, and what we are not
Straight about our scope.
Our advisors come from compensation, HR leadership and executive recruiting. We explain what your severance or employment terms actually commit you to, what the commercial impact is, and what to ask for. We do not represent you, draft contracts on your behalf, or opine on whether a clause would hold up in court.
