No "contact us for a quote." Nine offers with published prices, written inclusions, and written exclusions — so you know exactly what you're buying before we talk.
The engagement path
Every engagement starts with an audit. No exceptions. The audit protects both of us from a build that doesn't fit the actual problem.
The retainer is optional. The system runs on your infrastructure whether we're involved or not. If you want us monitoring and maintaining it, the retainer exists for that. If you don't, you keep the code and we're done.

Retainers require a completed build in production. Enterprise builds ($35K+) are custom-quoted via audit — not published until we have the right reference client to anchor the scope.
Start here. Always.
The audit is not optional overhead — it's the mechanism that protects a $7,500 build from becoming a $7,500 lesson in scope creep. You get a written report and a fixed-price quote before you commit to a build.
A 90-minute call followed by a 5–7 day written analysis. You get a report that names exactly where manual work is costing you — ranked by ROI, with a stack recommendation and a build quote you can act on. The right starting point regardless of vertical.
- 90-minute discovery call (Zoom or in-person San Diego)
- 5–7 business-day async deep-dive on your current stack
- Written report: top 3–5 opportunities ranked by ROI
- Difficulty score per opportunity (grounded in 490-process Atlas)
- Named tool recommendation — the specific stack for your situation
- Rough build estimate and timeline range
- Fixed build quote if you want to proceed
- Any build or implementation (that's Offers 4–6)
- Follow-up calls after report delivery
- Industry-specific compliance review (HIPAA, PCI, etc.)
- Integration diagrams or technical specs (scoped in a build engagement)
- Vertical-specific deep dives (use Restaurant or VA Replacement audit instead)
The $1,500 audit is a qualifying filter — not a favor. If the ROI math in the report doesn't work, we'll tell you. That's worth $1,500 to know before spending $7,500 on a build.
For businesses currently paying $480–$1,120/month per virtual assistant. We take your VA's actual task list, map every task to automation or human, and return a 12-month cost comparison — so you know whether replacing that VA pencils out before spending a dollar on a build.
- 90-minute discovery call
- Review of your current VA job posting(s) and task documentation
- 5–7 day deep-dive: every task classified as automatable / human / hybrid
- 10–15 page written report with difficulty score per task
- 12-month TCO comparison: VA cost vs. build + hosting + optional retainer
- Prioritized rollout sequence — which workflow to build first and why
- 90-minute written-report walkthrough call
- Fixed build estimate included in the report
- Any build or implementation
- Integration diagrams or technical specs (build engagement)
- Tasks requiring compliance infrastructure — HIPAA billing, legal privilege, financial transaction processing
- VA talent sourcing or pipeline enrichment
At $900/month VA spend, a $7,500 single-workflow build pays back in under 10 months. $7,500 ÷ ($900 − $100 hosting) = 9.4 months. This audit shows whether your specific task list hits that math.
Specific to full-service restaurants. We map your missed calls against cover value, produce a POS integration map, and design the exact voice AI call flow for your location — before any build commitment. On-site preferred (San Diego local advantage).
- 90-minute on-site or Zoom discovery (on-site preferred — SD local)
- 5–7 day deep-dive: call volume, POS & reservation system review, after-hours gap
- 10–12 page written report with missed-call revenue estimate
- POS integration map: Toast, Square, or OpenTable (whichever you use)
- Specific automation recommendations: voice AI, reservation handling, menu/hours callback
- Named stack and build estimate for each recommendation
- 60-minute written-report walkthrough call
- Any build or implementation
- POS vendor negotiations or support contracts
- Menu engineering, staffing, or operational consulting
- Delivery platform integrations (DoorDash, Uber Eats) as primary build scope — that's a Single Workflow Build
Loman AI documented a 22% revenue lift for pizza operators with inbound voice AI. That's their data, not ours — but it's the benchmark that makes this conversation worth having for any restaurant doing 30+ missed calls a week.
You own it. What that actually means.
Every build is delivered to your infrastructure, on your accounts, with your keys. We configure. You own. When we're done, the system runs without us — and you can hire anyone to work on it, because you have the code.
All workflow exports, custom scripts, and documentation land in your GitHub org. A ZIP is fine if you don't have GitHub — the point is you hold the code.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Vapi, Twilio, ElevenLabs — all opened in your name with your billing. You pay the vendor directly. No markup through us.
n8n runs on your Hetzner, Railway, or Render account. Your data never touches a server we control. Typical cost: $5–15/month in hosting fees you pay directly.
We retain the right to reuse generic code patterns in other projects — that's standard. We don't retain any access to your systems. Once delivered, we can't turn anything off.
Fixed prices. Client-owned code. 30 days of support.
Every build requires a completed audit first. The audit defines the scope. The scope makes the fixed price possible.
One end-to-end automation — fully built, tested, documented, and deployed on your own infrastructure. Closes a specific cost gap: answered calls, replaced VA tasks, connected scheduling and billing. You own the code when we hand it over.
- Scoping call and written build specification document (scope contract for both parties)
- Full workflow build — n8n (self-hosted) or Make.com if you prefer GUI
- All integrations within the defined single-workflow scope
- BYOK on every AI vendor account (your OpenAI/Anthropic keys; you pay the vendor)
- Testing and QA against acceptance criteria defined in spec
- Deployment to your hosting environment
- Plain-language runbook + short video walkthrough
- Source code delivered to your GitHub repo (or ZIP)
- 30 days post-launch support — async bug fixes + one follow-up call
- A second workflow or additional integrations outside the signed scope (quoted separately)
- Hosting infrastructure provisioning — you set up Hetzner/Railway; we configure n8n on it
- Ongoing monitoring or optimization (Offer 7 or 8)
- Changes to scope after the build spec is signed
- Compliance certification, security audit, or SOC 2 documentation
Comparable: AutomateNexus (San Diego) charges $7,500 for their BYOK build. Same delivery model — we differ on niche depth and post-build retainer relationship.
3–5 connected workflows, or one workflow spanning multiple non-trivial integrations — a full operational stack. The build equivalent of removing 2–3 people from a manual process layer. Same ownership model as the Single Workflow Build, multiplied by scope.
- Full system architecture diagram before build begins
- 3–5 interconnected workflows or 1 workflow with multi-system integration
- Baserow or Airtable database schema design + build (if data layer needed)
- Metabase dashboard build (if reporting layer is in scope)
- ERPNext integration where back-office ERP is required
- BYOK on all AI vendor accounts — your billing, your keys
- 60-day post-launch support (vs. 30 days on Single Workflow)
- Monthly check-in during support period
- Source code delivered to your GitHub org
- Ongoing management after 60-day support window (Embed Retainer covers this)
- Infrastructure provisioning — you own all hosting accounts
- Compliance certifications or security audits
- Any workflow outside the signed engagement letter scope
- Enterprise procurement, SOC 2, HIPAA BAA — hard stop
$15,000 build replacing $2,000/month in VA spend: payback under 8 months. The ROI math at this tier is usually cleaner than the single-workflow build because more manual processes get eliminated at once.
Your restaurant's phone gets answered around the clock — takes reservations, handles hours and menu questions, escalates to a human when needed — running on your own Twilio account for $30–50/month after we're done. No subscription to us for the system itself. The $400/month is for our ongoing monitoring and prompt-tuning, not for hosting.
- Voice agent build on your Vapi or Retell account + your Twilio number
- POS integration: Toast OR Square OR OpenTable (one location)
- Call flows: hours/menu queries, reservation intake, callback-to-human, after-hours voicemail routing
- Prompt engineering for your restaurant's voice and menu
- Test calls and QA session with you or your GM
- Staff documentation: call flow map + escalation guide
- Uptime monitoring — alert if voice agent goes down
- 1–2 hrs/month prompt tuning and menu/hours updates
- Monthly performance summary: calls handled, escalation rate, issues
- Priority async response for issues (same business day)
- Second location (each additional location is a separate $2,500 setup)
- Integration with a second POS or delivery platform (Single Workflow Build scope)
- Custom IVR menu trees beyond 3 levels deep
- Real-time 86-item management (separate workflow — Offer 4)
- Call recording storage or transcription archival — that's your Vapi account decision
vs. Hostie ($199–$599/month): you own the system. No monthly platform fee to us — you pay Twilio and OpenAI directly for about $30–50/month. The $400/month is for our time monitoring and tuning it, not for the infrastructure.
The system runs whether you use a retainer or not.
These are for clients who want us monitoring, maintaining, and improving their system after the build. Not required. The code is yours — you can hire anyone to work on it, or maintain it yourself.
- Automated uptime monitoring on all workflows
- 2 hrs/month of changes: menu updates, prompt tweaks, rule adjustments
- Monthly status note (incidents, changes, upcoming risks)
- Async communication only (email or Slack · 48-hour response)
- Phone or video calls
- Hours exceeding 2/month (additional hours at $200/hr)
- New workflow builds
- Everything in Care
- 6 hrs/month — maintenance plus active optimization
- Monthly 30-minute review call
- Priority Slack or SMS response (same-business-day issues)
- Quarterly ROI recalculation against original audit projections
- 10% discount on additional builds during retainer
- Hours exceeding 6/month ($175/hr overage)
- 24/7 on-call — response SLA is same-business-day, not 1-hour
Validated comparable: Ganim AI Concierge charges $1,500/month for a similar ongoing AI management service.
- Everything in Operate
- 12 hrs/month (up from 6)
- Bi-weekly 30-minute check-ins instead of monthly
- New-workflow build budget folded in — hours above maintenance can build new automations
- Monthly updated automation roadmap ranked by ROI
- Front-of-queue access for reactive work
- Hours exceeding 12/month ($175/hr overage)
- Builds scoped above 25 hours (separate Offer 5 engagement)
Month-4+ unlock ensures the relationship is proven. The first 3 months on Operate establishes the baseline.
Retainers require a completed build. Offers 7, 8, and 9 are post-build products. We can also take on retainer clients who built their system elsewhere — subject to a paid 2-hour system audit ($300 one-time, credited to first month) so we understand the existing stack.
The audit comes first.
Every time.
A 90-minute call and a written report. You'll know exactly what the problem costs and what the fix looks like before spending a dollar on implementation.
We do not accept build inquiries without completing an audit first. Not because of policy — because the audit is the mechanism that makes fixed-price builds possible. The audit defines the scope. The scope makes the price real.
