Pick the rung. 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. [Pick the rung](https://ariesnet.com/buy#buy-select) Step one ## Pick the rung 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 ### [Diagnostic Briefing](https://ariesnet.com/products/executive-briefing) 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 ### [Agent Context Cost & Failure Audit](https://ariesnet.com/products/token-economics-audit) 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 ### [Core Model Blueprint](https://ariesnet.com/products/context-supply-chain-assessment) 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 ### [Implementation](https://ariesnet.com/products/implementation) 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 ### [Managed Operations](https://ariesnet.com/products/managed-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 subscription Not had the interview yet?

Before you ask ## How this proceeds **How does an engagement start?** The interview, then a written fixed-scope fixed-fee proposal. We recommend starting at the Agent Context Cost & Failure Audit. Nothing requires you to enter at the bottom of the ladder — when the funding decision is contested, you can start with a Diagnostic Briefing within ten days of the interview. **Who owns the deliverables?** 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.
