Found: /consulting lists 3 packages (Soil Assessment, Cultivation Workshop, Fractional CTO) but each says "Investment varies by scope" or "Monthly retainer, negotiable". Zero dollar figures or even ranges.

Gap: Prospects cannot self-qualify. They do not know if you are a $5K or $50K engagement. Vague pricing invites tire-kickers and scares away serious buyers who assume you are out of budget.

Needs:

Add starting prices or ranges (e.g. "Starting at $5,000" or "$5K–$15K")
If you truly do not want to publish prices, at minimum add "Starting at" language
Consider: "Apply" vs "Book" CTA — if pricing is hidden, make the CTA about qualification, not purchase
Alternative: link to a PDF rate card or pricing guide

Closing as stale/resolved. The issue claimed packages had "zero dollar figures or even ranges," but the page now has concrete pricing ranges on all three packages:

Soil Assessment: "Starting from $2,500"
Cultivation Workshop: "Typical range: $5,000–$15,000"
Fractional CTO: "From $8,000–$20,000/month"

These were apparently added since the issue was filed — the complaints in the issue description no longer apply.
