“Great website development. Smooth process, great attention to detail, and we are very happy with the final product.”
Amy RonshausenVerified Google review “I work for a non-profit that covers an eight-county region, so it is vital that I am aware of all the funding opportunities available. Summit Labs built an app for me that scours the internet for grants…”

Exploring
Discovery Call
Free
30 minutes
A conversation about Summit Labs. No prep, no obligation, no deliverable.
"I'm exploring options and want to know if you're the right partner."
Specific decision
Strategy Hour
Flat fee
60-min working session + writeup
Send a question in advance. We work through it together and you receive a written 1–2 page recommendation within 48 hours. The flat fee is on the booking page before you pay — it's the one thing we sell without a call first.
Cost is credited toward the AI Readiness Sprint if booked within 14 days.
- Most common
Diagnostic
AI Readiness Sprint
Fixed fee
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.
Quoted in writing after a free scoping call. Fully credited toward any project engagement booked within 30 days of debrief.
Ship it safely
Go-Live Assurance
Fixed fee
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.
Quoted in writing before you commit. Multi-system migrations and extended timelines are scoped separately.
Full build
Project Engagement
Fixed quote
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
Flat monthly
Month-to-month · 30-day cancel
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.
One flat number, set at scoping for a scope we agree in writing — it only changes when you change what's under management.
Two diagnostics, one difference: the AI Readiness Sprint is the interview-led read on where AI and automation fit; Summit Signal is the data-led operational diagnostic across margin, cash, and process. Compare the two →
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.

Credit forward promise
Your investment compounds.
The Strategy Hour is credited toward an AI Readiness Sprint booked within 14 days. The Sprint is fully credited toward any project engagement 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.
- You're pre-revenue, or the whole operation is one person and a spreadsheet — start with the free tools and the blog.
Every discovery call ends with clarity — either a clear path forward together, or an honest recommendation for what would serve you better.
