Pricing

Three tiers, all published.

The pricing reflects the shape of the work.

Most consultants in this band hide pricing. The honest reason is that hidden pricing pushes buyers into a qualification call. That’s a tax on your time. I publish.

Tier 1 · Scoping

Scoping Engagement

$5,000

Fixed · 2 weeks

60-minute interview, 10-15 page written plan, three projects worth building, one readout call.

The scoping document is the deliverable, scoped against your operation and yours to use.

Two weeks of behind-the-scenes work
10-15 page written plan, yours to keep
Three projects scoped with investment range and timeline

Start a conversation

Tier 1 · Scoping detail

What you walk out with.

A written plan with three pieces of work worth building, each scoped with an investment range and a timeline, that becomes the spec for whoever builds them.

The document is the deliverable. Three pieces of work worth building, each scoped with an investment range and a timeline, plus a vendor-neutral tool recommendation list and a do-not-buy-yet list where tools don’t yet belong.

What’s excluded

Implementation. The scoping document tells you what to build. Building it is the next engagement.
Long-term retainer. Scoping is two weeks, not ongoing.

Tier 2 · Build detail

What you walk out with.

Working operational AI in your business, an internal owner who can run it, and a runbook that documents how it works. The investment range reflects the scope of the work. The scoping document tells you which end of the range applies.

Every build engagement includes

The shipped pipelines and tools
Per-tool runbook so the internal owner can run the system
Documented brand-voice constraints applied to every output
Cost monitoring across all AI tooling deployed
Tool choices driven by fit, not by referral fees

What’s excluded

Ongoing operational support. That’s the monthly partnership tier.
Work outside the scoping document. New scope is a new conversation.

Tier 3 · Fractional detail

What you walk out with.

Someone in-seat as the AI Operations function while the business is too small to hire one full-time. When you’re ready to hire, the internal owner is trained and the systems are documented.

What’s excluded

Net-new builds outside the scope of the partnership. Those are quoted separately.
24/7 on-call support. This is a fractional function with scheduled standing capacity.

Shape of the work

If this isn’t your shape.

If your operation needs a single tool installed for under $3,000 (not a multi-tool operating system), that’s a different shape of engagement and not what I do. Start a conversation and I can point you at a better fit.

Which tier fits?

The 30-minute intro tells us both.

Free, no pitch, no follow-up if it isn’t the right fit. We figure out whether the Scoping Engagement is the right next step, and if so, when to start.
