Engagements and pricing

Three ways to work together, each with a clear scope and price agreed before work begins. You can stop after any stage.

AI readiness assessment

fixed fee, 2 to 3 weeks

The right first step for most businesses. We find where AI will pay off and where it will not.

  • Interviews with the people who do the work
  • Your top three opportunities, ranked by return

Build projects

From $7,500

scoped and quoted up front

We design, build and launch one system at a time, starting with a pilot on your own data.

  • Agreed success metrics before we start
  • Working demo every two weeks
  • Testing on your real examples before launch
  • Staff training and written handover

Managed AI

From $750 / month

monthly, cancel anytime

AI systems need care after launch. We watch them, tune them and report on what they deliver.

  • Accuracy and drift monitoring
  • Monthly results report
  • Prompt, model and workflow updates

How a project runs

  1. Assess

    We sit with the people who do the work, map the process and agree on the number that defines success: hours saved, calls answered, errors caught.

  2. Pilot

    A small working version on your own data in two to four weeks. You see real results before committing to a full build.

  3. Launch

    We connect it to the tools your team already uses, test it against real cases, train your staff and document everything.

  4. Monitor

    Accuracy, usage and results are tracked every month. When the numbers drift, we fix it before it costs you.

Common questions

Do we need a lot of data to use AI?

Usually not. Many of the highest-return projects, such as call answering, document processing and staff assistants, run on documents and conversations you already have. Predictive models need history, and the assessment tells you whether yours is enough.

How do you price build projects?

After the assessment or a scoping call, you receive a fixed quote tied to defined deliverables and success metrics. Larger builds are split into a pilot and a full phase, so you decide on the second only after seeing the first work.

What does the AI cost to run after launch?

We estimate monthly running costs, including model usage and any software subscriptions, before you commit. For most small business systems this is modest, and we design to keep it predictable.

Is our data safe?

We use providers whose business terms do not allow training on your data, limit access to the people on your project and document where data flows. Healthcare clients get a Business Associate Agreement before we touch protected health information.

Do we own what you build?

Yes. You own your data, your configurations and the custom work we deliver for you. We hand over documentation so another team could maintain it if you ever choose to.

Do you work outside Orange County?

Yes. Local clients can meet in person, and we work remotely with clients across the US and internationally using the same process.

Have a process that should be running itself?

Tell us what takes too long or goes wrong too often. Within one business day you will get a plain-English reply on whether AI can help, how we would approach it and what it would cost.
