§ 01 · Studio · Engagements
Engagements can start around $30,000 when the scope is narrow and the operating problem is clear. Larger Engine installs are scoped separately, but we do not need to force every buyer through that door first.
Three bands depending on the surface area. Each ends the same way: documented, trained, handed over. No SOW extensions to keep the lights on. No vendor lock-in.
Not ready to install? See Retainers — productized programs at $5K–$35K/mo that roll into an engagement when the work scales.
§ 01
$30K-$75K
6-8 weeks · One operating surface
A focused engagement around one high-value workflow: intake, capture, reporting, diligence, onboarding, or knowledge operations. Built to prove the operating case before a larger install.
$75K-$150K
90-150 days · Department or cross-department
Eight-registry install across the operating surface. AI-First Framework applied end-to-end. Skills library populated with production workflows.
$150K-$500K+
180 days · Whole-org
Engine installed at the operating-system layer. Custom skills, multi-tenant configuration, training cohort for your operators. Includes 90 days of post-handover support.
Optional · all bands
Retainer
$5,000–$35,000/month, scoped to engagement. For operators who'd rather we stay in the loop on what comes next. Cancellable any month. We don't need it; you might.
Book intake§ 02
Installed in your Supabase: entities, people, projects, work items, knowledge, agents, workflows, events.
Applied to your real workflows. Learn → Wire → Automate → Scale.
Anthropic SKILL.md format, per-org JSON config. Versioned, auditable, yours.
Written for your operators, not for us. The system is documented to be operated and extended by your team.
In-person or remote, for the team that has to keep this running. Real workflows, not slideware.
10% of every engagement funds the Institute for Human Advancement as a separate audited line item.
§ 03
A timeline you can show your board. We'd rather you see the work than read the deck.
Week 1–2
Intake and audit
We show up, ask questions, sit in meetings. Written audit at the end of week 2 — what we found, what we'd install first. If the audit doesn't land, you don't proceed. No retainer claimed.
Week 3–6
Registry install
The eight registries go into your Supabase. Operators are querying live data by week 5.
Week 7–14
Skills build
Production skills built against the workflows the audit identified. Weekly demos. Pull the plug at any phase boundary.
Week 15–20
Training and handover
Your team operates the system in production. We coach. The skills library has 15–30 working units by handover.
Week 21–24
Post-handover
We're available, not embedded. Your team runs the system. We show up for the questions that don't have obvious answers.
Month 7+
Retainer (optional)
$5,000–$35,000/month, scoped to engagement. We stay close on what you build next. Cancellable any month.
§ —
Intake calls are 30 minutes. We'll tell you within a week if it's a fit and what band lines up with your operation.
