Pricing

Transparent, project-based pricing for applied AI systems and LLM discoverability. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

How I Price

Every engagement is project-based. No hourly billing, no retainers that go nowhere, and no vague statements of work that expand without warning.

You see the scope. You see the price. You decide if it makes sense.

The numbers below reflect real ranges based on project complexity. The final number depends on integrations, decision logic, and what the system must do in production.

Applied AI Systems

Systems Discovery

$1,500 – $2,500

The starting point for every engagement. We define the problem, map the workflow, and design the system architecture before anything gets built.

  • Problem framing and outcome definition
  • System scope and recommended architecture
  • Success metrics and measurement plan
  • Go or no-go recommendation with full transparency

Pilot Build

$5,000 – $15,000

A production-ready applied AI system built around one specific outcome. Scoped, built, instrumented, and handed off cleanly.

  • Fully deployed applied AI system
  • Analytics and event tracking built in
  • Admin visibility and monitoring
  • Complete handoff documentation

Optimization + Ongoing Support

$1,500 – $3,000 / month

Once the system is live, this retainer covers maintenance, monitoring, and iterative improvement as dependencies and usage shift.

  • System monitoring and maintenance
  • Performance analysis and iteration
  • Expansion into adjacent workflows
  • Priority support when something breaks

LLM Discoverability

Discoverability Audit

$1,500 – $2,500

A full diagnostic of how language models currently represent your organization and where visibility gaps are coming from.

  • Current LLM representation assessment
  • Competitive gap analysis
  • Gap identification across content and technical layers
  • Prioritized improvement roadmap

Foundation Build

$3,000 – $6,000

Restructure and build content for retrieval by language models with stronger claim architecture and internal linking.

  • Claim architecture and entity definition
  • Question-first content restructuring
  • LLM foundation pages built and deployed
  • Internal linking map implemented

Ongoing Discoverability Management

$1,000 – $2,000 / month

Continuous monitoring and updates so your organization remains current in model responses as data and model behavior evolve.

  • Monthly LLM representation monitoring
  • Content updates and expansion
  • Citation and source signal development
  • Quarterly discoverability review

Engagement Bundles

Most clients combine services. These are the most common starting points.

AI Systems Starter

Systems Discovery + Pilot Build

$6,500 – $17,500

Discoverability Foundation

Discoverability Audit + Foundation Build

$4,500 – $8,500

Full Stack

Systems Discovery + Pilot Build + Discoverability Audit + Foundation Build

$10,000 – $24,000

What I Do Not Do

No free pilots. No proof-of-concept builds for exposure or future work. No open-ended hourly engagements without a defined outcome.

Discovery exists so both sides know exactly what is being built before implementation starts.

Every engagement starts with a discovery call to define the problem, workflow, and measurable outcome.
