Start an engagement
This is the scoping request. Choose the engagement you want priced, tell us the context, and we reply within one business day with a scoping call slot, then a written fixed-scope, fixed-fee proposal. Nothing is binding until both parties sign the engagement letter. If you have not had the interview yet, start there — it is the first step of every engagement and the map it produces is yours either way. General enquiries are welcome by email at the foot of the form.
Step one
Already had your interview? Pick the rung. If you are not sure, the audit is the right default — it is the smallest commitment that produces a usable finding.
Advisory
The paid close of the interview: within ten days of it, a half-day working session that turns the interview map into written findings — where context breaks, where a Core Model would sit, an L0–L5 placement with the reasoning shown — and a buy/no-buy on the next two rungs, made on evidence rather than a slide template.
$4,500 Half day — the paid close of the interview
engagement
Diagnostics
Two weeks, one named agent workflow, two questions: what is each unit of its work actually costing you, and where does it fail because the context it was handed was wrong — the wrong tool, the wrong field, a definition that went stale?
$12,000 2-week fixed engagement — one named agent workflow
assessment
Diagnostics
Three to four weeks on one named agent workflow — Diagnose inventories every system it reads structure from and the connector each needs, and scores all seven stages with evidence; Blueprint sequences the Core Model we are willing to put in writing.
$32,500 3 to 4 weeks — Diagnose $15,000 plus Blueprint $17,500
assessment
Delivery
The first quarter is a fixed package: three of your systems imported, one Core Model harmonized across them, the conformance contract exported, and your agents connected through the MCP endpoint — built with your engineers, so the capability stays when we leave. Expansion quarters are scoped from there.
$75,000 First quarter, fixed — import three systems, one Core Model, the MCP endpoint, licence included; expansion quarters $60,000 – $180,000 by scope
engagement
Operations
Monthly ownership of your Core Model and the supply chain around it, in two SKUs. Care keeps the model true — new connectors as systems change, drift caught by the change log. Ops + Eval adds the evaluation harness run on schedule, incident attribution, and on-call for the named agent workflows. Both report quarterly in ROKA terms: what changed, what it cost, what it returned.
$9,000 – $18,000 Per month — Care $9,000 · Ops + Eval $18,000; quarterly rolling; CoreModels licence included

Before you ask
The interview, then a written fixed-scope fixed-fee proposal. We recommend starting at the Agent Context Cost & Failure Audit — it is approvable without a steering committee. Nothing requires you to enter at the bottom of the ladder — a Diagnostic Briefing within ten days of the interview is common when the funding decision is contested.
You do. Reports, blueprints, runbooks and code produced in an engagement are yours outright. A blueprint you commission from us can be executed by your own engineers or by another partner — that is a deliberate property of how the ladder is priced, not a concession.
