Struggling with gaps in accountability can cost your team a loss of productivity and bottom-line performance. But investing in a solution can feel even more daunting.

In this article, we’ll help you understand:
- The average cost of The Accountability System™
- Why paying for The Job Scorecard™ matters
- What drives the price up
- What drives the price down
- Is The Accountability System™ worth it?
We'll break down the cost of The Accountability System™, explore what drives the investment, and help you understand if this service is worth it for your team.
The Average Cost of The Accountability System™
If you’re starting from scratch, the full program will cost about $16,000-$20,000 per dynamic duo, and this includes a full year of coaching. But most people don’t actually need to start from scratch. So let’s look at the different scenarios that can adjust the price.
Scenario 1: You’ve Already Completed The Hiring Process Coach™
Here’s the deal: If you’ve already gone through The Hiring Process Coach™ with us, The Accountability System™ costs under $10,000 per duo. Why? Because you’ve already laid the groundwork. Through The Hiring Process Coach, you’ve got:
- A detailed job scorecard for the direct report (more on that in a minute), and
- A full coaching report for both leaders that breaks down each person’s workplace behaviors and motivators.
These two tools are critical to getting the most out of The Accountability System™. And since you already have them, there’s less upfront work — and less cost.
Scenario 2: You Have The Job Scorecard™, But You Haven’t Done The Hiring Process Coach™
If you’re coming to us with a completed job scorecard but without the other Hiring Process Coach components, The Accountability System™ costs less than $12,000 per dynamic duo. This gets you everything else you need for success, including personalized coaching support and guidance.
Scenario 3: You Don’t Have The Job Scorecard™ Yet
Starting fresh? No problem. If you haven’t completed a job scorecard, we’ll add that piece on for around $6,000, bringing the total to less than $18,000 per dynamic duo. Yes, it’s an investment. But here’s the thing: most people who think they don’t need a job scorecard realize pretty quickly that they do.
Why Paying for The Job Scorecard™ Matters
At this point, you might be thinking, “I’ve already got a job description — why would I need a job scorecard?”
Fair question. But here’s the problem: they’re usually pretty vague.
Job descriptions are great for outlining basic responsibilities, but they rarely include the specifics you need to hold someone accountable.
The Job Scorecard™ goes beyond the basics. It lays out success factors, priorities, and time percentages for each category of the role. So instead of just saying, “You need to make this a priority,” the scorecard says, “You need to spend 20% of your time on client follow-ups, with a success factor of 90% of clients responding positively.”
It’s clear. It’s measurable. And it’s a game-changer for accountability.
So while the job scorecard isn’t technically required for The Accountability System, most of our clients end up needing one to make the program work as it should.
What Drives The Accountability System™ Price Up?
The only thing that drives up the price is ongoing support.
The Accountability System™ is designed to support managers and their direct reports through the first full year of onboarding, whether it’s a new hire or a recently promoted leader.
After that first year, you’ll have the tools and processes to keep the momentum going, things like one-on-one meeting templates, scorecard reviews, and strategies for coaching. But some clients feel like they need a little more help. If that’s the case, you can add on extra years of support for less than $10,000 per year.
It’s not mandatory, but for some teams, having the extra accountability for year two (or beyond) helps solidify everything they’ve learned.
What Drives The Accountability System™ Price Down?
On the flip side, there are ways to lower the cost, primarily by bundling The Accountability System™ with other services at The Metiss Group.
For example, if you’ve already done The Hiring Process Coach™, you’ll pay under $10,000 for The Accountability System. If you’re hiring for multiple identical roles, you only need one job scorecard, which reduces costs per duo even more.
In short, the more foundational work you’ve already done, the less you’ll pay to implement The Accountability System™.
Is The Accountability System™ Worth It?
The Accountability System™ isn’t just another leadership program, it’s a framework for success.
It equips managers and their teams with the clarity, communication tools, and support they need to thrive. It ensures everyone knows exactly what winning looks like and how to get there together.
And while the price might seem steep at first glance, consider what you’re really investing in. Fewer miscommunications, clearer expectations, better performance, and stronger working relationships. Can you put a price tag on that?
Well, technically, yes — $9,000 to $20,000. But you get the point.
If you’re ready to invest in accountability (and get real results), The Metiss Group is here to help you get started.
The bottom line on the cost of The Accountability System™
The challenge of aligning managers and direct reports often comes down to unclear expectations and inconsistent accountability. Without a system in place, miscommunications and performance gaps can hold teams back from achieving their full potential.
At The Metiss Group, we’re dedicated to helping managers and their direct reports become dynamic duos.
