Diagnostic
AI Readiness Sprint
$3,500
2-week diagnostic
Structured review of how work actually flows: two interview sessions, tech-stack and workflow mapping, and an 8–12 page assessment with a prioritized roadmap — integrations, automation, data hygiene, and where AI earns its place (or doesn't). Includes a one-hour debrief.
Fully credited toward any project of $5,000+ booked within 30 days of debrief.

Go-Live Assurance
From $6,000
Per system go-live
Switching a core system? We test it like a bank would, run the cutover, and keep a rollback ready — scoped to one system and a defined window so the work stays bounded.
Fixed-fee. Multi-system migrations and extended timelines are scoped separately.
Full build
Project Engagement
Custom
Defined milestones
Automation, custom apps, dashboards, compliance readiness, delivery setup, and team training. Fixed-price, fixed-scope, defined milestones.
"I know what we need and we're ready to build."
Ongoing
Modernization Retainer
$2,500/mo
Month-to-month
A monthly partner who keeps your automations healthy, folds in new AI as it matures, and stays on call — so you keep improving without hiring.
Scales with the level of support you need.
Discovery vs. Strategy
Free call vs. paid Strategy Hour — what's the difference?
The free call is about fit. The paid hour is about your problem.
| Feature | Discovery Call | Strategy Hour |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 30 min | 60 min |
| Who's the focus | Summit Labs (fit conversation) | Your business and a specific decision |
| Prep required | None | Send a pre-call questionnaire |
| Deliverable | None | Written 1–2 page recommendation within 48 hours |

Credit forward promise
Your investment compounds.
The $350 Strategy Hour is credited toward an AI Readiness Sprint booked within 14 days. The $3,500 Sprint is fully credited toward any project of $5,000 or more booked within 30 days of the debrief. You don't pay twice for the same work.
What to expect
Your Discovery Call
Not a sales pitch. A focused, honest conversation about whether we're the right partner for what you're trying to do.
- Current workflows, pain points, and the outcome you'd consider a win.
- An honest assessment of where AI and automation can actually help — and where they can't.
- Clear next steps: an engagement, a different direction, or simply clarity.
- No jargon, no pressure, no obligation.
Clarity before commitment.
The free discovery call always will be free. We're not trying to upsell every conversation. If the right answer is "talk to a different vendor," that's the answer you'll get, on the call.
Best Fit If You...
- Your team spends hours on manual processes that should be automated.
- Your tools don't talk to each other and reporting stays fragmented.
- You need a technology roadmap before spending more on tooling.
- You're making technology decisions without expert guidance.
- You've built something that works but it needs to scale.
Probably Not the Right Fit If...
- You need a basic WordPress or Squarespace site built.
- You're looking for a full-time employee, not a strategic partner.
- You want a generic strategy deck without implementation help.
- Your project budget is under $2,500.
Every discovery call ends with clarity — either a clear path forward together, or an honest recommendation for what would serve you better.
