2. Terms of Service

Program Access

Enrollment in the Career Lab (Cohort or 1:1 Mentorship) grants you personal, non-transferable access to program materials, live sessions, and community resources for the duration of your enrolled cohort plus 6 months of extended access.

Expected Commitment

The Career Lab is a structured 16-week program. Results depend on your participation, effort, and follow-through. We provide the system, frameworks, and direct feedback. You provide the work.

Code of Conduct

Participants are expected to engage respectfully with instructors and peers, attend scheduled sessions or communicate absences in advance, and complete assignments on the published timeline. We reserve the right to remove participants who are disruptive or violate the trust of the community.

Payment Plans

If you enroll on a payment plan and miss a scheduled payment, your access to live sessions may be paused until the payment is current. All payment plans are processed automatically through Stripe.

3. Earnings Disclaimer & Market Rate Data

Power Platform Market Rate Data (2025-2026)

The following table summarizes published salary and hourly rate data for Power Platform roles in the United States. These are market averages, not guaranteed outcomes for Career Lab graduates.

Data compiled from Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Salary.com, and industry benchmarks as of February 2026. Rates reflect U.S. national averages and will vary by location, experience, and engagement type.

About the "$100-175/hr" Range on This Site

When we reference $100-175/hr, we're describing the billing rates achievable by independent Power Platform consultants with strong consulting skills, a professional portfolio, and enterprise positioning. This range reflects what experienced consultants bill clients, not entry-level W-2 salaries.

According to Glassdoor, senior Power Platform consultants earn $78-105/hr in W-2 roles. Independent consultants typically bill 30-50% above W-2 equivalent rates to account for self-employment taxes, benefits, and business overhead. That places independent consulting rates at $100-175/hr for well-positioned consultants.

Entry-level positions typically start at $35-55/hr. The Career Lab is designed to help you build toward the higher end of the market through consulting skills, portfolio development, and enterprise positioning. How quickly you reach premium rates depends on your starting point, effort, and market conditions.

No Income Guarantees

We don't guarantee that any participant will earn a specific hourly rate, secure employment, or land consulting clients as a result of completing this program. We teach the skills, provide the frameworks, and give direct feedback. Your outcomes are determined by your execution.

4. Intellectual Property

Program Materials

All Career Lab materials, including but not limited to consulting simulation briefs, project frameworks, the Laboratory Method, the JMCB ASCEND Framework as applied to career transitions, enterprise positioning playbooks, and proprietary templates, are the intellectual property of JMCB Technology Group, LLC.

What You Can Do

• Use all templates, frameworks, and deliverables in your own career and consulting work
• Reference the Career Lab in your professional bio and portfolio
• Share your personal projects and outcomes publicly

What You Can't Do

• Redistribute, resell, or republish program materials in any form
• Create a competing training program using Career Lab content, frameworks, or methodology
• Share login credentials or session recordings with non-enrolled individuals
• Reproduce consulting simulation briefs or proprietary project templates outside of your personal portfolio

5. Refund Policy

If you enroll and decide the program isn't right for you within the first 7 days (before the end of Week 1), we'll issue a full refund, no questions asked. After Week 1, refunds are not available because you'll have access to proprietary materials, simulation briefs, and live session recordings.

For payment plan enrollees: if you request a refund during the eligible window, any payments made will be refunded in full. After the refund window closes, remaining installments are due as scheduled.
