Rates & engagement guide · last reviewed September 2026
Pricing shouldn’t require a discovery process. Review everything here, then let’s have an exploratory call to see if the fit is real.
For teams that need analytics, automation, or AI systems built around how the business actually works. An engagement reserves weekly time for your project, runs on a scope of work we iterate on together, and keeps the work visible: shared plans, decisions, and documentation, no black boxes.
For working professionals (engineers, executives, and everyone between) who want AI to be part of how they actually work. 45-minute 1:1 video sessions, no contract, no prerequisites. Start this week.
The rates below are standard engagements. Larger or unusual scopes are custom-quoted, and that starts with the same conversation.
A pilot is a 30-day working engagement. You pay $500 to start, get a low pilot hourly rate, and pay nothing until the 30 days are up.

10–20hours per week
Day 31 is an open door.
Roll into a project tier, keep going hourly as needed, or stop, with no obligation.
One rate curve governs everything: the more time you block off, the less each hour costs. The discount from the hourly rate is already built into every project tier. No bundles, no feature gates. All projects include AI development and integration costs; client provides production AI accounts when required.

A project tier buys two things: a lower rate, and a guarantee that the time is blocked off for your project.
$135 / hour
The smallest possible commitment, and a built-in ramp to a project tier.
Unbilled. You describe your problem; I listen, and you leave knowing exactly what working together would look like. And what it isn’t: no pitch deck, no pressure. The prices are already on this page.
~30 minutes. You describe your needs or project; I listen. No charge, no obligation.
I pitch a tier, or a phased sequence from a lower tier to a higher one, with a scope of work we iterate on together, transparently.
Price, deliverables, and timeline are finalized together. There’s always a conversation to be had.
Your time gets blocked on the calendar and the work begins.
45-minute one-on-one video sessions that make AI part of how you actually work, built for working professionals: engineers, executives, and everyone between. A two-minute intake tailors your first session so we skip discovery and start doing.
