Most enterprise AI vendors quote hourly and let scope creep do the rest. We scope to a fixed price based on real engineering hours, so you know the total investment upfront.
Focused Build
One clear use case, one system, fast time to value.
Enterprise Build
Multi-system AI deployment with compliance and scale built in.
Phased Transformation
Multi-phase rollout across several use cases over 9 to 12 months.
Let’s find out together on a 30-minute discovery call with the founders who write the code.

Enterprise Build
A$110K to A$160K
All ranges are fixed-price for a defined scope, confirmed after your discovery call. No hourly billing, ever.
Every engagement is quoted fixed-price after a discovery call, based on your specific scope. These are ballpark starting points, not final quotes.
Because we're engineers first, not salespeople.

Where the alternatives land
Hourly / T&M, scope creep common · Low hourly rate, hours add up
Big consultancies bill open-ended, set by hours billed with junior devs, after sales handoff; offshore shops run a rotating offshore team on a variable, often delayed timeline.

Our projects typically range from A$65K to A$160K depending on complexity. Factors that affect pricing include the number of systems to integrate, data volume and complexity, compliance requirements, team training needs, and the ongoing support model. We build a payback model during the discovery phase, before you sign. Deloitte's 2025 survey found most firms reach satisfactory AI returns in two to four years, so we start with the process that pays back fastest. Unlike hourly billing, we quote fixed-price for a defined scope, so you know the total investment upfront.
Hourly billing gives the vendor no incentive to move fast, and it leaves you exposed to scope creep. With a fixed price, we agree to one number before any code is written, scoped on real engineering hours rather than a sales target. If we move faster, that's our upside, not an extra invoice for you.
We break it into phases. For example, instead of an 18-month “AI transformation,” we deliver: Months 1-4, automate your #1 pain point and measure payback. Months 5-8, scale to the next 3 use cases based on learnings. Months 9-12, full enterprise deployment. You get value every 4 months instead of nothing for 18 months, and if phase 1 does not pay back, you can stop before phase 2.
Every fixed-price engagement includes 30 days of post-launch support, full documentation, and team training so you can manage the system internally. After that, you can choose retainer support (15-20% of project cost per year) for ongoing monitoring and feature additions, or a fully managed service at custom pricing if you'd rather we run it as your outsourced AI team.
Engagements are typically structured around project milestones rather than a single lump sum, so you're paying as work is delivered, not all upfront. The exact payment schedule is confirmed during scoping and laid out clearly in the proposal before you sign anything.
Security and compliance are built in from week one, not bolted on later, which is more efficient than retrofitting compliance after the fact. For regulated industries like finance and healthcare, we factor in SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, or SOX requirements during scoping, and we sign NDAs and BAAs as standard practice.
Yes. UK engagements are contracted through EDGEFIRM LTD and invoiced in pounds sterling, and Australian engagements are invoiced in Australian dollars. The published GBP and AUD ranges are fixed at signing, so exchange-rate movement during the build never changes your total.
A Focused Build is already scoped as the smallest engagement that ships a production system rather than a demo. If you need to validate the idea first, the discovery call and the fixed quote with payback model are free, and a Phased Transformation lets you commit to phase one only and decide on the rest once the numbers are in.
