Engagements

Plain pricing. Project-based.
You pay for the deliverable.

Every engagement is scoped to a named outcome with a fixed price and a committed timeline. No hourly games. No surprise scope. If AI is not actually the answer for what is slowing you down, we will tell you in the first call.

Start exactly where you are. Not sure where AI actually helps? The AI Opportunity Study looks across your recognized pain points and gives each a straight verdict — build now, not yet, or skip — so you know what is worth doing before you spend a dollar building. Already know the problem that is costing you? An AI Build takes that one workflow, makes it real, gets the team using it, and makes it stick — one problem at a time, done properly. Just want an everyday job handled? A Quick AI setup like Alex is live in days. See a worked example →

What is and is not included: Our pricing covers our work: discovery, design, build, training, and monitoring as scoped per engagement. AI platform subscriptions, LLM token usage, and integration tooling (typically $100 to $1,500 per month per workflow, depending on volume and tools) are billed by the vendors directly to you. We will size, recommend, and help you negotiate. You own the subscription and credentials — so you stay in control after we leave.

What you get

  • Real questions to surface what is actually slowing the business down (often not AI)
  • An honest outside read on whether an AI Opportunity Study, an AI Build, or none of the above is the right next step
  • If AI is not the answer, we will say so and tell you what would help instead
  • A recommended next move: an engagement, a referral, or "not yet"
No pitch. No slides. No follow-up unless you ask for one.

"I just need the everyday work handled — the phone, the bookings, the follow-ups."

What you walk away with
Practical, everyday AI working in your business — most often an AI receptionist (Alex) answering calls, booking appointments, and taking messages. Set up on your own accounts, tuned to how you work, and clearly explained so your team knows exactly how it runs. You own everything; usage is billed to you at cost.

What's included

  • A short call on how you greet customers and how you like things handled
  • Setup and configuration on accounts in your name — you own the number, calendar, and data
  • Tuning until it sounds and works like your business
  • A walkthrough so you and your team know exactly how it runs
  • Managed AI Operations available later for ongoing tuning and support

AI Opportunity Study

"Everyone says we should be using AI. We do not know where it actually helps — or where it would just be a costly distraction."

$2,500
1 to 2 weeks
What you walk away with
A clear, honest read across your recognized pain points, with a straight verdict on each — Build now, Not yet, or Skip — ranked by value and effort. You leave knowing exactly where AI earns its place in your business and where it does not, so your first move is the right one. A decision, not a maybe.

What is included

  • A structured look across the everyday pain points that slow your business down
  • Each one scored on value, feasibility, and risk, using our own ConceptToValue method
  • A plain verdict per item — build now, not yet, or skip — with the reasoning behind it
  • A ranked shortlist of what to tackle first, and what to leave well alone
  • An honest bottom line, including "AI is not your answer here" if that is the truth
What the Study saves you

A wrong build because the prerequisites were never named: $8K to $18K plus weeks of team time. A vendor pitch that landed because nobody had the comparison math: $5K to $30K a year of tools you did not need. $2,500 to know the right answer first is the cheap option, not the expensive one.

Start here if AI is on your radar but the "where" is not clear yet.

AI Build

"We know what is costing us. Build the fix, get the team using it, and make sure it sticks."

From $8,000
4 to 12 weeks · one problem, done
What you walk away with
One problem, resolved end to end — the AI workflow built and live, the guardrails around it, and the process and role changes that make it hold. One thing at a time, done properly, not five half-built at once. From $8,000 for a focused build to around $18,000 for a genuinely complex one. The build and the operating side are handled together.

What a build includes

  • The AI workflow itself: platform configuration, the automation layer, integration with your existing tools, testing against real cases, and the checks that make it safe to rely on.
  • The process around it: current and future-state mapping, a transition plan with named owners, and team training in the new way of working.
  • Roles and ownership: who owns what once it is live, decision rights where they need to change, and coaching managers through the first weeks.
  • The rhythm to keep it going: a simple cadence and the few metrics worth watching, so the change holds instead of drifting.
  • Monitoring after go-live: 30 to 60 days depending on complexity.

Managed AI Operations

"We have AI working. Keep it performing, and help us take the next step when we are ready."

From $1,500/month
month-to-month · cancel anytime
What you get
Senior oversight that keeps what we built performing — monitoring it, tuning it as your business changes, and delivering one agreed improvement each month. The natural next step after a Build, so the system you invested in keeps delivering rather than degrading. This is our work, not a resold subscription; you still own every account.

How it works

  • Ongoing tuning and small fixes as your business and volume change
  • One agreed improvement each month — the next enhancement to what we built
  • A short monthly read on how it is performing and what is worth doing next
  • Async access for the questions that come up in between
  • Best right after a Build, while the work is fresh. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
Optional, and only worthwhile once something is live. No lock-in and no long-term commitment.
