Run

From $7,500 CAD / month · + $5,000 one-time onboarding

Monthly · 6-month initial term, continues with 60-day notice

Covers one production system: hosting, monitoring, incident response, defined iteration days
Uptime SLA with escalation to a named principal
Quarterly improvement sprint — new capability, not just maintenance
Monthly performance report against your pilot baseline
Model upgrades and re-tuning within the deployed architecture
Usage and API costs billed at cost — typically $200–$1,500/mo, capped in writing

Talk to us

What happens in a pilot

Three weeks, four steps, one measured answer.

Scoping session

We pick the one workflow and set the written scope boundary — before any invoice.

Build on your data

The system takes shape on your real tools and data, under NDA.

Live shadow run

It runs alongside your team; we measure hours, errors, and cycle time.

Readout

Working proof, the numbers, and a fixed-price Build proposal — or an honest why-not.

Working proof or a written why-not.

Every pilot ends one of two ways: a working system on your real workflow with measured results, or a full written diagnosis of why it isn't the right fit — and no Build pitch. That's the deal.

Questions, answered

The things buyers actually ask.

Who owns the system?

You own the deployed system's business logic and your data. We retain our underlying platform and tooling; source escrow is available on Build engagements.

What happens if the pilot doesn't work?

You get a written diagnosis of why — the constraint, the data gap, or the workflow mismatch — and we don't pitch you a Build. The pilot fee covers the work either way; half of it is credited if you proceed within 90 days.

Why don't you price like software?

Because this isn't a subscription to software — it's a senior team designing, building, and operating a system around your specific operation. Pricing follows scope and outcomes, not seats.

Are usage and API costs included?

On Run, model and infrastructure costs are passed through at cost up to a cap we agree in writing — no markup. Above the cap, we flag it before it's spent.

Where does our data live?

Canadian data residency is available. Nothing moves before an NDA is signed, and client confidentiality is our default posture — most of our engagements are under NDA.

What are the payment terms?

Pilot: due at signing. Build: milestone-based (typically 40/40/20 against written acceptance criteria). Run: monthly, first and last month at signing.

All prices in CAD, taxes extra. Published prices are confirmed at the scoping call and reviewed quarterly; pilot start dates are subject to scheduling availability. Pilots include 15 delivery days; additional scope proceeds by written change order.
