Pricing
Pay for the return,
not the hours.
Most firms ask what AI will cost. We start with what it will return. Every step is priced so it pays for itself within six months. If it doesn’t deliver the agreed result, you don’t pay for that step.
We build first
We would rather spend our hours building something that works for you than writing proposals about it.
The same time, put to better use. You see the return on your own work before you pay us anything.
A working build, not a proposal
We start by building a small tool on one of your real tasks. Your team tries it before any price is discussed.
The first step is at our cost
If it helps, we price the next step on the return it can deliver. If it doesn’t, you owe us nothing.
What we don’t do
Strategy decks, retainers, billing for meetings, or selling work you don’t need.
When AI isn’t the answer
We tell you plainly, even when it means there is no work for us.
How we set the price
The price comes from your numbers, agreed before any work begins.
Define the outcome
We agree one task and one result to measure, such as hours spent each week.
Establish the baseline
We measure how the task runs today, alongside your team, and agree the value of an hour.
Implement and integrate
We build into the systems you already use, priced so six months of savings cover it.
Report and recommend
On the agreed date we measure again and show you the result against the baseline.
A worked example
A small firm spends 5 hours a week preparing client reports. We build a tool that cuts it to 1 hour, reviewed and approved by the team.
An hour is valued at $65, agreed with you. The price for this step is set below six months of savings, so the investment is recovered in around 21 weeks.
4 hours × $65 × 26 weeks
Illustrative figures only. Your figures come from a baseline measured in your business.
Our return guarantee
We start small, so the risk is small. If a step doesn’t reach the result we agreed, you don’t pay our fee for it.
What we agree first
The task, the baseline, the target and the date we check it. All in writing before we begin.
What it covers
Our fee for that step. Your own software subscriptions stay with you.
What we ask of you
Use the tool as agreed, and give us access to the people and data the task needs.
If we miss
You don’t pay for that step. We tell you plainly what happened and whether another approach is worth trying.
Full terms are set out in your engagement letter.
Where the return comes from
Hours saved only pay back when they go somewhere. We agree where with you, before we build.
- 01More billable workTime moves from admin to client work and advisory.
- 02Less overtimeBusy periods are handled without late nights and weekend work.
- 03Growth without the next hireTake on more clients with the team you have.
- 04Upskill, don’t replaceYour people stay and gain the skills. We train them on every tool we build.
A partnership that scales with you
No retainers. Every engagement has a defined scope, an agreed price and a result you can measure.
A conversation and a look at how you work, to find the task where a return is clearest.
One small build, priced to pay back within six months and covered by the guarantee.
We recommend further investment only once the return is proven.
