The entry offer is a Starter Workflow Pilot at $4,900 fixed: one production workflow live in your stack in 7 business days, with the full fee crediting toward a larger Build. We do not sell open-ended retainers as the first step. You pick one annoying process, we ship it, then you decide whether to scale.
