Every fee is fixed and agreed in writing before work starts. We publish a range for each product, and what moves a quote within it. No hourly billing. Engagements start at R50,000.
Where your scope sits in the range is set on the scoping call, written down, and doesn't move after you sign.
A shared, plain view of AI for leadership, before anything is built.
For: an exco deciding whether and where to start with AI.
fromR50,000
A sample of how work actually moves, measured in hours per week.
For: an MD or COO who wants the work measured before choosing what to build.
fromR58,000
Automation and AI across the systems you already run.
For: a leadership team with one process that leaks hours every week, or a validated finding to build on.
fromR85,000
Keep the build in use, then measure again at 90 days.
For: a business that wants the build still in use a year from now.

Most businesses start with one of these. Each stage is scoped and fixed in writing before it starts.
| Route | For | Products | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| One leaking process | A department head with one process that costs hours every week | The Transect, one process · First Build | R143,000 to R275,000 |

Engagements start at R50,000. A First Build, one process automated end to end with 30 days of Tending, is R85,000 to R180,000. Where a quote sits in a range depends on three things: how many people and sites are in scope, how many systems we connect and how easy they are to reach, and whether the work needs AI or plain automation.
Three things move a quote: how many people and sites are in scope, how many systems we have to connect and how easy they are to reach, and whether the work needs AI or plain automation. We tell you which of these applies on the first call, and the written scope shows the number before anything starts.

Changes are new scope, agreed and priced, never creep.
Client-specific costs, such as dedicated infrastructure or your own API usage, are priced into your package, never smuggled into ours.
You're buying a delivered thing: a session, a report, a working system. A fixed fee means you know the cost before we start, and so do we.
