Pricing & preliminary facts

Fixed-scope work with visible boundaries.

The package covers the audit method. Architecture, capabilities, case volume, security requirements, and remediation cycles determine the final statement of work.

Engagement packages

Start with the smallest defensible scope.

Audit readiness is credited toward an approved full engagement. Third-party model, voice, telephony, and observability usage is separate and passed through without hiding it in the service fee.

Continuous assurance

Scheduled regression, drift monitoring, release gates, and maintenance of newly discovered failure cases.

$1,500–$5,000 / month

Complexity modifiers

Add-ons expand the evidence contract.

A capability may already be included in the selected base package. The scope builder removes included charges automatically.

RAG knowledge

Retrieval, freshness rules, reranking, and citations.

+$2,000

Action-taking tools

Typed tool calls that read or change business state.

+$3,500

Long-term memory

Customer or organizational memory retained across sessions.

+$2,000

Human handoff

Escalation, approval, or transfer to a person or queue.

Safety guardrails

Input/output controls, policy checks, and protected-topic handling.

+$1,000

Trace observability

Model, retrieval, tool, cost, and latency traces such as Langfuse.

+$500

PII and compliance

Consent, disclosure, redaction, retention, and regulated-data boundaries.

+$4,000

Before a formal quote

Ten facts we need from the customer.

Unknown answers are acceptable. They become explicit discovery tasks instead of hidden assumptions in the quote.

  1. 01

    Business use case

    What the AI does, who uses it, and the outcome it supports.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    Known system diagram or permission to begin with the discovery profile.

  3. 03

    Channels

    Chat, voice, SMS, email, API, documents, or multimodal input.

  4. 04

    Models and providers

    LLM, speech, retrieval, telephony, and observability vendors.

  5. 05

    Knowledge and tools

    Source-of-truth systems and any actions the agent can execute.

  6. 06

    Safe access

    A staging endpoint, replay export, or trace-import path.

  7. 07

    Data sensitivity

    PII, financial, health, payment, geographic, or retention constraints.

  8. 08

    Evaluation volume

    Approximate number of cases, calls, languages, and configurations.

  9. 09

    Service boundary

    Audit-only, customer-implemented fixes, or full audit-and-fix.

  10. 10

    Timeline and approval

    Deadline, decision owner, and who accepts manual-review outcomes.
