Pricing

# From scattered schemas to one Core Model your agents can trust.

Five fixed-scope engagements that map your context supply chain, assess the connectors you need, and build and operate your Core Model — each priced before it starts, each ending in something you keep.

Before any rung

## Every engagement starts with an interview

A structured conversation about your schema landscape that ends in a working map of your context supply chain: the connectors you need and the wiring and remediation it will take to reach one governed Core Model. Yours whether or not you go further; there is no rung to buy first. Within ten days of the interview, a paid half-day [Diagnostic Briefing](https://ariesnet.com/products/executive-briefing) is available for teams that want written findings and a buy/no-buy.

Software

## The platform is priced separately

Developed by ARAMAI (Ariesnet's product group) · integrated and operated by Ariesnet.

Integrated into the systems you already run. Ariesnet integrates the Context Supply Chain into the systems you already operate — your sources, your schemas, your agent platforms — so governed context reaches every agent without replacing anything that works.

Buying the platform alone? CoreModels is priced per builder, per team, or for the enterprise at coremodels.io. Implementation and Managed Operations engagements include the licence for the engagement term — licensed to your team and readable by your MCP tools on your own agent API key; Managed Operations keeps it current.

Buying advice

## A subscription is not required to buy an assessment

The engagements above deploy against CoreModels where the blueprint calls for governed schema authoring. A subscription is not required to buy an assessment, and an assessment is the right first purchase if you do not yet know which stage is failing you. Buying the platform alone? Its plans are on coremodels.io.

What happens next

1. The interview. Thirty minutes on your schema landscape — optional parts can extend it to forty-five. You leave with a map of the connectors you need and the wiring it will take to reach one governed Core Model — yours either way.
2. A written scope. Fixed price, fixed dates, named deliverables. Published bands; your fee is fixed in the written scope before we start.
3. A rung on the ladder. We recommend starting at the two-week audit.
