What actually drives the cost of workflow automation?
Three things, in order: the number of systems being connected, whether AI (chat, voice) is involved, and how much custom logic your process needs. A single follow-up sequence touching one calendar and one inbox is a very different build from a voice agent that qualifies, books, and syncs to your CRM. That’s why credible automation pricing is quoted per business, not read off a menu.
Why do we quote after the audit instead of publishing prices?
Because two businesses asking for “the same automation” almost never need the same build. The Automation Audit maps where you’re actually leaking revenue and what each leak costs you per month — then we quote a fixed price against that defined scope. The audit is a flat fee, credited 100% toward any build started within 30 days.
What does “fixed scope” actually mean?
A written definition of what the automation does, which systems it touches, and what “done” looks like — agreed before work begins, at a price that doesn’t move. If the scope changes, the price changes in writing first. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices.
Why fixed-scope instead of hourly?
Because hourly billing rewards slow work. A defined scope, a defined price, and a defined “done” keeps the incentive where it belongs: on your outcome.
