Signal
Use bands to qualify economic fit early.
Bands are designed to prevent wasted discovery when scope and budget are clearly mismatched.
Pricing
Public bands so scope can be discussed with the right level of precision.
These are not fixed menu prices. They are commercial bands intended to help a team judge whether a defined first step is proportionate before a conversation begins.
- Diagnostics
- Starts at $3K
- Flagship sprints
- $45K to $140K
- Retained support
- $35K to $95K / month
How to read pricing
Qualify fit, then refine with context.
Constraint
Translate environment complexity into scope assumptions.
Complexity, urgency, and stakeholder load determine where final pricing settles within a band.
Decision
Move to scoped intake once fit is plausible.
A short written brief is usually enough to narrow commercial range and select the right first engagement.
Commercial bands
Enough transparency to qualify fit. Enough flexibility to scope properly.
Diagnostic offers
Starts at $3K
Teams that need a credible first read before a larger mandate is worth discussing.
Includes readiness audits, leakage diagnostics, and smaller validation scopes.
Execution sprint
$45K-$85K
Trading teams that need architecture, control, and deployment redesign under live pressure.
Usually scoped as a fixed sprint with explicit findings and implementation direction.
Governance build
$70K-$140K
Institutional control programs where evidence posture and operating discipline need to catch up quickly.
Range depends on review breadth, stakeholder count, and implementation depth.
MERLIN pilot
$12K-$75K
AI or agentic workflow pilots that require clearer controls before broader rollout.
Can begin narrowly around one workflow or expand into a platform design brief.
Embedded retainer
$35K-$95K/month
Firms needing ongoing senior continuity across architecture, governance, and live operating pressure.
Monthly pricing depends on cadence, access, and scope of active workstreams.
Scope note
Exact pricing follows technical and operating reality, not a generic package matrix.
Range depends on environment complexity, stakeholder count, urgency, access, and whether the work ends at diagnosis or continues into implementation or ongoing continuity.
Next step
If the bands are directionally right, move into scope shaping.
Share environment constraints and urgency to convert range-level pricing into a concrete first-step recommendation.
