Engagement Services

Every engagement is built from
your actual numbers.

Fleet P&L Audit
Complete per-vehicle P&L calculated from actual receipts since inception. Not the platform dashboard. The real numbers after all costs and fees.
Tax Documentation Package
An accounting-ready fleet record organized for your CPA's review. Jacob produces the documentation package. Your CPA makes every tax determination and election.
Rate Floor Analysis
The true rate floor for every vehicle in your fleet, calculated from your actual cost structure. Every vehicle assessed against what it must earn to support the ownership case.
Discount Impact Analysis
Historical review of how current discount settings have affected realized trip revenue. Specific, dated, and dollar-quantified — so the decision to change is grounded in your actual record.
Pricing Intelligence Report
Pricing opportunity analysis for each vehicle and market, compared to what you're charging today. See exactly where you're leaving money on the table.
Capital Allocation Recommendation
Which vehicles are worth keeping. Which are becoming sell-or-replace candidates. Which markets deserve more — or less — of your capital. Data-driven. Specific. Actionable.
Strategic Recommendations Deck
Written report: fleet composition, pricing floors, discount settings, acquisition opportunities, and a 90-day action plan. Jacob's judgment applied to your actual data.
30-Minute Zoom Debrief
Jacob walks you through the full report live using your actual fleet data. Q&A. The clearest picture your fleet has ever had.
Fleet Valuation & Exit Analysis
Vehicle-by-vehicle valuation at current ACV, net equity vs. loan payoff, break-even sell vs. hold analysis. For operators evaluating exit, acquisition, or fleet restructuring.
Fleet Acquisitions
Decision-ready analysis for fleet and multi-vehicle purchases: what the vehicles are worth, what the operation has actually earned, whether the economics hold up, and a clear go/no-go recommendation with supporting valuation ranges. You decide whether and at what price to proceed. For operators evaluating a portfolio purchase or vehicle acquisitions at scale.
Fleet Divestitures
A vehicle-by-vehicle exit plan: equity position, recommended sale order, timing considerations, and a defensible asking-price range. For operators exiting, right-sizing, or reallocating capital from weaker vehicles.
Direct Rental Readiness

Before you go direct,
know if your fleet can
stand on its own.

FleetKestrel analyzes whether your fleet is ready to operate beyond the platform. AFK Consulting builds the migration plan. LabFactory AI builds the operating infrastructure. No exit theater — just the numbers, risks, and systems required to know whether direct rentals make sense.

Built for serious fleet operators — typically 5+ vehicles — with consistent monthly free cash flow and a real intent to grow beyond the platform.

Readiness Intelligence
Know whether direct makes economic sense.

Jacob evaluates whether your fleet can support direct rentals financially and operationally — using your actual FleetKestrel record as the foundation.

A clear go / not-yet conclusion with the conditions that would change it

The Migration Plan
A staged transition built from your fleet's actual economics.
View details

Once the numbers say go, Jacob builds the transition mandate. Not a generic playbook — a plan built from your fleet's specific situation, your market, and your approved readiness conclusion. Where the economics support it, the transition can be staged: building a direct channel while still on-platform, proving the unit economics, then reducing platform dependence deliberately.

Engagement Pricing

Every engagement is scoped
after a 15-minute call.

AFK Consulting engagements are priced based on your fleet size, data availability, and the specific analysis you need. There are no surprise fees and no commitment required before you know exactly what you're paying for.

The scoping call is where Jacob reviews your fleet, your challenge, and your data — and gives you an honest assessment of what the engagement involves and what it will cost. If consulting isn't the right fit for your situation, he'll tell you that too.

Every engagement includes full platform onboarding. Your data is already in FleetKestrel by the time the analysis is delivered — and your dashboard stays active after the engagement closes.

How It Works

Your data is the prerequisite.
The analysis is the product.

To deliver the analysis your fleet deserves, we build it from your actual fleet records — not generic industry averages. Your receipts, your costs, your operating history stay connected to the analysis, and any required third-party services are disclosed upfront.

By the time Jacob delivers your engagement, your FleetKestrel account is already set up with the same fleet records behind the analysis. Your dashboard is built. Monthly intelligence is one subscription away.

Already a FleetKestrel subscriber?
Your data is already here. An AFK engagement starts where your dashboard leaves off. If FleetKestrel has surfaced a problem you understand but don't know how to act on — that is exactly what AFK Consulting is for.

The Analyst

Not a Turo host veteran
with operational opinions.
A derivatives trader with
institutional risk frameworks.

Other fleet management consultants understand operational pain because they lived it as hosts. AFK Consulting is different. Jacob Reinhart understands the cost of imprecision because imprecision used to cost him money in real time, at scale, in markets that don't forgive errors.

When Jacob tells a client their discount structure is destroying value every month, the conclusion comes from that client's own fleet economics — not a rule of thumb or somebody else's hosting experience. That is a different class of advisor from a community consultant who learned to host on Turo.

"Experience-based consultants tell you what worked for them. Ask FleetKestrel Consulting shows you what your data proves."
