Engagements & pricing

Start small. Prove it. Scale.

One low-risk entry point, then work scoped to what you actually need — no lock-in, no bloated retainers you don’t use.

How it works

Audit → Build → Operate.

01

Audit

A paid Opportunity Audit finds and ranks the leverage. Low risk, fixed price — and its fee credits toward whatever you build next.

02

Build

A fixed-fee build, scoped from the audit: an Automation Sprint, an AI System Build, a Private Deployment, or a Knowledge Assistant.

03

Operate

Optional managed retainer — we run and evolve it, so the value compounds instead of decaying.

Entry points

One number to say yes to.

The entry point

Opportunity Audit

$3,500

  • 1–2 weeks, fixed price
  • A scored opportunity map + 90-day plan
  • Fee credits toward a build booked within 30 days
For YC & pre-Series-A startups

YC Automation Kickstart

$6,500

  • 2 weeks, flat
  • One high-leverage automation, shipped
  • Founder-friendly: milestone billing, no lock-in

Builds & retainers

Priced to scope, quoted after your audit.

Automation Sprints, AI System Builds (public / hybrid), Private AI Deployments, Knowledge Assistants, managed retainers (Care / Grow / Partner), and a Fractional AI Lead are all fixed-fee — quoted from the audit, so you pay for scope, not guesswork.

Startups get founder-friendly terms: reduced rates, milestone billing, month-to-month, no lock-in.

Ready when you are.

Book the audit and we’ll turn it into a plan you can act on.
