Pricing

Three ways to start. All transparent.

Every engagement is priced by complexity, not hours. No packages that pretend to be custom. No hourly meters. A fixed scope and a fixed price — or I tell you up front it's not a fit.

01 · Starting point

Cowork Readiness Audit

A focused assessment: where Claude Cowork fits inside your operation, what to install first, what ROI to expect, and what to skip. Credited in full toward a Full Implementation if you proceed within 60 days.

1 week delivery

Single-week turnaround. Async interviews, walkthrough calls, and a written deliverable.

Written install plan

Concrete deliverable — not a deck. What to install, in what order, with priced estimates.

Workflow inventory

A map of your repetitive work, with time and cost to current state. Useful even if you never hire me.

No sales handoff

Delivered by me, the person who'd build it. No account managers, no funnel.

$495 — $995
PER ENGAGEMENT
When to pick it

You want to understand the investment before committing. Or you're deciding between Workahead and in-house.

Credit toward implementation100% of the audit fee is credited toward a Full Implementation started within 60 days.
02 · Core engagement

Full Implementation

The core engagement: custom skills, connected data layer, automations, operator memory, and governance — installed, tested, and handed over with training for your team. Built around how you actually run, not a generic playbook.

3–5 week build

Most engagements ship in four weeks. Complex integrations may add a week.

All five core systems

Skills, data layer, automation, memory, governance. Nothing held back for an "upsell."

Custom to your voice

Drafts, reports, and comms match how you write — tuned against your actual examples.

Team training included

Two structured sessions + written playbook. Your team owns the system after week five.

$4,900 — $12,000
ONE-TIME · FIXED SCOPE
When to pick it

You know what's broken and you're ready to install. Or you did the audit and the ROI checks out.

What moves the priceNumber of integrations, data cleanliness, and whether governance needs to meet a specific compliance bar. I'll quote you exactly after the audit.
03 · Ongoing

Managed Governance

Ongoing tuning, approvals, escalation handling, and weekly digests — once your system is live. Your installed setup, looked after by the person who built it. Month to month, cancel anytime.

Weekly tuning

Voice drift, rule changes, new workflows. Your system stays sharp as the business evolves.

Escalation desk

Edge cases get my attention, not a shared inbox. Typical response under four business hours.

Monthly health report

Usage, savings, exceptions, drift. You see whether it's earning its keep every month.

No lock-in

Month to month. You can self-manage at any point. I document everything before handoff.

$1,200 — $3,500
PER MONTH · MONTH-TO-MONTH
When to pick it

You want the system kept sharp without adding that job to someone on your team.

Optional, not requiredMany clients self-manage after implementation. Governance is there if you'd rather not add it to anyone's plate.
Questions you're probably asking

Common questions about cost and scope.

A four-op dental clinic with clean data and two integrations is very different from a 200-door property manager with legacy AppFolio and three spreadsheets acting as the source of truth. I quote exact numbers after the readiness audit, when I've seen the actual scope.
Claude API usage (typically $50–$300/mo depending on volume), third-party tool subscriptions, and any data-cleanup work that turns out to be a bigger project than expected. I'll flag the latter during the audit, not halfway through.
Yes. Every implementation is documented end-to-end. Your team gets trained. Managed Governance is an option if you'd rather not add tuning to an existing role — not a requirement.
If the system doesn't earn its cost within 90 days of go-live, I'll work for free until it does. I'm selective about who I take on precisely because I don't want to be in that situation — but if I am, it's on me.
No. Retainers reward dragging things out; hourly work rewards the same. Fixed scope and fixed price keeps us aligned and on track.
Enterprise Claude with data-use restrictions. Your data never trains a model. For regulated verticals (dental, healthcare), governance is built to meet your specific compliance bar — I'll document the posture during the audit.
Not sure which tier fits?
