# Forte Ops

> Warm‑mentor consulting that guides cannabis dispensary owner‑operators from license through launch to profitable operation.

Forte Ops was founded to fill the gap between a regulatory application and a thriving storefront. By pairing state‑specific SOPs with hands‑on training, the team walks operators through the pre‑mortem that reveals hidden costs before a lease is signed. Stories from operators such as Vanessa Yee‑Chan in New York and Jay Cassuto in Maryland illustrate how the full‑arc approach turns a complex checklist into a working business.

The service tracks-Plan + Build, Train + Launch, Operate + Scale-are delivered by seasoned operators who have opened hundreds of stores. Each engagement produces custom SOPs that meet the exact requirements of Maryland, New York, Missouri, and other states, then reinforces them with daily checklists, audit prep, and ongoing performance coaching.
