Prices
The numbers, in public.
Fixed fee, agreed before we start, invoiced in three parts. No day rates, no change requests, no scope conversation in week six.
We publish these because the alternative is a discovery call whose only purpose is working out what you can afford. You can see the number now and decide whether to keep reading.
Nobody publishes this. We find that suspicious.
| Systems | Weeks | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Under 15 | 5 | $45k – $70k |
| 15 to 50 | 9 | $85k – $140k |
| 50+, or several countries | 12+ | From $160k |
What pushes it up: systems with no owner, cost data spread across four places, more than one jurisdiction, and the number of things nobody can currently explain. That last one is always higher than the client expects.
Every engagement includes
- The full written assessment, sixty pages or so
- The underlying model, as a spreadsheet, with the formulas visible
- A board-ready summary we present once, in person or on a call
- The appendix of objections, including the ones aimed at us
- Ninety days of follow-up questions, at no charge
Terms
- A third on signature, a third at the halfway review, a third on delivery.
- Net thirty.
- Travel at cost, capped, agreed up front. We do not mark it up.
- If we conclude in week two that an assessment is not worth doing, we stop and bill the first third only.
What we do not charge for
The first call. The scoping conversation after it. Rereading the document with you a month later because your CFO has a question. None of that is billable, and building a business on billing it is how advisory firms end up unable to say no.
Which band are you in?
Most people do not know how many systems they have. That is fine, and it is also the first finding. Thirty minutes gets you close enough to price it.
