Pricing Estimates

I believe in transparent, fixed-fee pricing that aligns with the value I deliver. There are no open-ended hourly surprises. Below are typical estimates for the three-phase process.

Phase 1: Discovery

Free · 45 Mins

A standard qualifying conversation to explore your business bottlenecks and determine if modern AI tooling is the right fit for your operations.

Phase 2: Assessment & Roadmap

Fixed Fee: $2,100

A fixed-fee, 1–2 week light review to ground the project in your operations. You receive a process map, a clear 3-page action plan, and a firm quote for implementation.

Phase 3: Targeted Build & Integration

Value-Anchored Investment · Fixed Scope or Fortnightly Blocks

Once the roadmap is complete, I build practical, robust tools designed to eliminate operational drag and unlock capacity. Because every business is structured differently, Phase 3 pricing is directly anchored to the operational value and reclaimed hours delivered by the build, rather than open-ended hours.

How I Price the Build

Together we assess the specific operational bottlenecks identified in your roadmap:

Role & Wage Displacement: A tool that saves 10 hours a week for a senior estimator, agronomist, or legal specialist delivers significantly higher financial leverage than automating entry-level administrative tasks.
Return on Investment Target: Every project is priced so the implementation pays for itself within 3 to 6 months of deployment.
Zero Runaway Costs: You receive a single, transparent fixed fee before any code is written.

Typical Investment Benchmarks

Engagement Tier	Target Investment	Typical Scope & Leverage
Focused Automation	$3,500 – $6,500	Targeted workflow fixes (e.g., automated document ingestion, field data synthesis, client intake triage). Reclaims ~10–15 hours/week of administrative time.
High-Leverage Specialist Workflow	$7,500 – $14,000	Automation for key revenue-generators (e.g., automated job scoping, compliance validation, internal RAG knowledge systems). Reclaims significant high-cost specialist hours.
Multi-System Integration	$14,000 – $22,000+	Connecting disparate legacy systems, live database syncing, custom internal web apps, or end-to-end operational dashboards tailored to regional scale.
Fortnightly Blocks	$3,200 – $4,500 per block	Dedicated, milestone-driven technical blocks for continuous, modular rollouts without long-term contracts.

What We Build

Private Knowledge & Operational Assistants: Secure retrieval tools trained directly on your internal operating procedures, compliance records, and past case files. Staff get immediate, verified answers with zero data exposure.
Specialist Workflow Automation: Removing high-friction bottlenecks in quoting, reporting, triage, and multi-step data entry.
Targeted Software & System Connectors: Clean, robust middleware connecting existing CRMs, spreadsheets, and operational databases into a reliable single source of truth.

Built for Clean Handovers & Independence

I build robust systems designed for your team to own and run internally without relying on expensive monthly retainers. Every build includes full documentation, staff walkthroughs, and a 30-day post-launch support window. If you want to expand or add new capabilities later, we simply schedule a dedicated delivery block.
