I use a scaled pricing model so the price you pay relates directly to the impact and value I can create for you.
What's going to suit you best is going to depend on where you're at, what's working, what's not, your frustrations, what application(s) you're using, and the type of support you're looking for.
That's why the next step is to book a free consult call—so we can assess exactly what you need and confirm I'm the best fit for your situation.
Typically I propose an discovery engagement to start, so we can better define the challenges at hand along with your system requirements.
Discovery starts at $5,000 USD—price is dependent on the size of your organization, complexity of the problem at hand, and number of applications involved.
Discovery done well is incredibly informative, stress-reducing, and clarifying. It's often quite clear what needs to happen next.
Further, I design this step to be self-contained, so we're not obligated to continue working together if it's not a fit.
Usually I propose a bite-size project or series of sprints that are designed to deliver a clear outcome in 4-6 weeks. The scope for step 2 is often to create a proof of concept, light prototype design, or implement a first pass at enhancements.
This allows us to develop a good rhythm and rapport while we work toward a clear benefit for you. Additionally, this approach gives us room to be agile, and adjust our approach more quickly, than agreeing to a full solution out of the gate.
Pricing for Step 2 can range from $12,000 to $60,000+.
Usually by this stage we've built strong rapport and are deep in the weeds of what needs doing.
I can often operate with minimal oversight and keep you apprised on a week to week basis what aspect of the system I'm building, and looping your team in for training at the right moments.
Step 3 pricing is completely dependent on your organization's goals and can range from $30,000 to $300,000.
My goal is that each step builds a bridge both in our working relationship and improving your systems. Every step we take creates clarity about what the next step ought to be.
I use an iterative approach so that you're always in control of setting the next top priority—with my strategic guidance, best practices, and technical know-how to support you.
Preserving flexibility to adjust the scope as we gather information is the most strategic thing we can do—and helps ensure we get to the end of the implementation having built a system that genuinely supports your actual operations, and one that your team is willing (if not eager) to use.
