Fixed price. No surprises. You know the total before we start.

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

$40K–$60KFixed price

One clear use case, one system, fast time to value.

  • Single AI system (chatbot, automation, or pipeline)
  • 1–2 system integrations via API
  • 3–4 month delivery timeline
  • Direct access to technical founders
  • 30 days post-launch support included
  • Full code ownership and IP transfer
Most Common

Enterprise Build

$70K–$100K

Multi-system AI deployment with compliance and scale built in.

  • Custom LLM app, agent system, or decision intelligence layer
  • 3–5 system integrations (Salesforce, SAP, internal tools)
  • 4–5 month delivery timeline
  • Compliance built in (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA where applicable)
  • Team training and full documentation
  • 30 days post-launch support included
  • Full code ownership and IP transfer

Phased Transformation

$100K–$150K+

Multi-phase rollout across several use cases over 9–12 months.

  • Phase 1: automate top pain point, measure ROI (Mo. 1–4)
  • Phase 2: scale to 3+ use cases (Mo. 5–8)
  • Phase 3: full enterprise deployment (Mo. 9–12)
  • Stop after any phase if ROI isn't there
  • Dedicated engineer assigned to your account
  • Full code ownership and IP transfer

Why Fixed Price

Hourly billing protects the vendor.Fixed price protects you.

Every engagement is quoted fixed-price after a discovery call, based on your specific scope. These are ballpark starting points, not final quotes.

Four factors determine your pricescoped on engineering hours, not sales targets

The Problem With Hourly BillingHow We Price Instead
Scope creep turns a $60K estimate into a $150K invoice
One number, agreed before any code is written
Vendors have no incentive to move fast
Scoped on real engineering hours, not sales targets
Budget approval becomes a guessing game for finance
Faster delivery is in our interest too, since the price doesn't change
“Discovery phases” that run for months with no commitment
ROI projection delivered before you sign anything

Because we're engineers first, not salespeople.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Our projects typically range from $40K to $100K 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 provide detailed ROI projections during the discovery phase, and most clients see payback in 12-18 months. 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 ROI. 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 doesn't deliver ROI, 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 ROI projection are free, and a Phased Transformation lets you commit to phase one only and decide on the rest once the numbers are in.
