Pricing
Productized install. Visible pricing.
We don't bill hours. We don't hide costs behind “contact us.” You see the price before you ever talk to us. Three tiers, anchored against what an FTE-equivalent ops headcount would cost you.

Why these numbers
Anchored against what an FTE actually costs.
An ops hire in the US runs $90–120K base. Add benefits, taxes, equipment, and overhead and you're at $120–160K loaded. They work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. They take vacation. They get sick. They quit. The operator works 24/7, gets better every week, and never asks for a raise.
Foundation
$25K install + $60K/yr = $85K year one.
Half the loaded cost of one ops hire. Runs 24/7.
Operator
$40K install + $144K/yr = $184K year one.
Cheaper than 1.5 ops hires loaded. Three specialists, no managers.
Operator Pro
$75K install + $240K/yr = $315K year one.
Cheaper than 2.5 ops hires loaded. On-call. Custom specialists.
These aren't aspirational numbers. They're the unit economics that make the operator make sense for both sides — you save real money, we run a real business with margin to keep improving the product.
FAQ
Pricing questions, answered.
Is the pricing fixed or does it change?
Fixed at signing. Install fee is one-time. Monthly is locked for the first 12 months. Renewals adjust to your then-current tier with 90 days notice.
What does “shadow mode” mean for billing?
You pay the install fee at signing and the first month at the start of execution — not during shadow mode. Shadow mode is a build-trust period, not a billing meter.
Can I cancel?
90 days written notice. You leave with your full action ledger and any custom code we wrote for you. No exit fees.
What if I outgrow my tier mid-engagement?
Tier upgrades are billed pro-rata starting the month of the upgrade. We tell you when we see signs you should upgrade — not after the fact.
Are there per-seat or per-user fees?
No. The operator runs as a daemon, not as user accounts. You pay one tier price regardless of how many people use the dashboard.
What about API token costs?
Included in monthly. We absorb Anthropic API costs as part of the tier. Your bill doesn’t fluctuate with usage.
Do you take equity instead of cash?
No. Cash only. We’re a real business, not a startup play.
Is there a free trial?
No — but Discovery (2 weeks) is fixed-price and you get the findings report regardless of whether you continue. That’s your low-risk entry point.
Not sure which tier fits you?
Start with Discovery. Two weeks, fixed price, applied to install if you continue. We'll tell you which tier matches your operation — with numbers, not opinions.
