Pricing
Starting prices. GST exclusive unless stated.
Every Engine is priced from a published band. That's the starting tier for narrow, clearly accepted scope. Larger or unclear projects begin with a paid scoping workshop.
The four tiers
Four shapes of brief.
Basic
One Engine, single source/channel, single tool, narrow scope.
Fixed-price for genuinely narrow scopes.
Standard
One Engine with multiple sources or integrations, or a focused stack.
Most Sales / Support / Ops / Knowledge briefs land here.
Premium
Multi-source, multi-integration, custom tone or workflow library.
Includes documentation and accuracy benchmarks.
Custom
Stacked Engines, ambiguous scope, larger MVPs, integration-heavy builds.
Workshop fee is credited against the final fee if you proceed.
