Pricing & engagement models

Scoped work, not open-ended hours.

Every engagement is priced against a defined scope before it starts. What changes is the shape of the engagement — a single sprint, a connected build, an ongoing retainer, or the full platform.

Sprint
From $8,000
fixed scope

One capability, shipped fast. A concierge on your site, a follow-up sequence for one lead source, a single AI agent scoped to one job.

  • Single-service scope
  • 2–4 week delivery
  • One round of revisions included
Most common
Build
From $25,000
fixed scope + milestones

A connected system across two or more capabilities — sales automation plus CRM, or an AI website plus voice. Paid in milestones tied to delivery.

  • Multi-service scope
  • Milestone-based delivery and payment
  • Client portal with project tracking
Operate
From $3,000/mo
retainer

We keep the systems we built running — monitoring, support, exceptions handled, monthly health reporting, and ongoing improvement.

  • Monitoring and exception handling
  • Support SLA
  • Monthly health and usage report
Platform
By engagement
custom

The full agency operating system, licensed and adapted for your business — CRM, workflow engine, client portal, and MCP control plane.

  • Full platform build-out
  • Dedicated implementation team
  • Ongoing platform support

Ranges shown are typical starting points, not quotes. Every engagement gets a written proposal with fixed pricing before you sign anything.

How pricing is built

A configurable catalog, not a rate card we make up per client

Every service in our catalog carries the same underlying pricing inputs. An AI can recommend a price inside these rules — it can never set one outside them without a person signing off.

Starting cost for the defined scope
Estimated hours
What the base price assumes
Complexity multiplier
Applied for nonstandard integrations
Rush multiplier
Applied when timeline is compressed
Recurring fee
Monthly cost once the system is live
