Engagements

What you can actually buy, and what it starts at.

QuickBuilds for one clear task, plus our existing discovery, implementation, collaboration, and training engagements. Three ways to work together, with published starting prices and scope confirmed before commitment.

EmpowerFrame QuickBuilds

Small workflow. Meaningful improvement.

One repetitive task, manual handoff, or missed follow-up. A focused automation can be a practical place to start.

  • Essential

    $295–$495

    One straightforward task with a clear source and outcome.

  • Plus

    $595–$995

    One focused workflow with additional steps, routing, or a simple connection.

  • Custom

    From $1,250

    A bounded workflow that needs more tailored logic or integration.

How an engagement starts

A short conversation first, then the smallest thing that answers the question.

  1. Step 1

    Fit Conversation

    Free and short. We work out whether this is something we can help with, and which starting point fits.

  2. Step 2

    AI Opportunity Map

    When the answer is not already obvious. Paid discovery that decides what to build, and what not to.

  3. Step 3

    Build for You, Build with You, or Teach You to Build

    The named engagement that matches how much of the implementation you want to carry yourselves.

  4. Step 4

    Measurement and handoff

    Documentation, training, and a checkpoint once the new way of working has carried real work.

  5. Step 5

    What comes next

    An optional Care Plan, the next workflow, deeper enablement, or a larger implementation, only where the economics justify it.

Fit Conversation

It is free, and it is short. We are working out whether what you have is something we can help with, and which starting point fits. It is not a free assessment: the analysis, the mapping, and the recommendation are the work an AI Opportunity Map exists to do.

You can start directly at a workshop or a build block when the requirement is already clear and low-risk. Ambiguous, material, or multi-system work goes back through the Map before fixed implementation pricing.

Where do you fit?

Find the sentence that sounds like you.

  • “I’m not sure what we actually need.”

    Start with the diagnostic. It decides what should change, what should not, and what it is worth doing about it.

    AI Opportunity Map

  • “I know what is broken and want someone to fix it.”

    We lead the redesign and the implementation of one bounded workflow, then hand it back to a named owner.

    Build for You

  • “We have internal capability and want expert help building.”

    Structured working blocks: architecture and implementation help while your team keeps ownership.

    Build with You

  • “We need our people to use AI effectively.”

    Role-specific capability built on your actual work, your approved tools, and your governance boundaries.

    Teach You to Build

  • “We already have a deployed system and want ongoing improvement.”

    Defined monitoring, troubleshooting, optimization, and a small-improvement allowance each month.

    AI Ops Care Plan

Understand

Start by deciding what is worth building.

Ambiguous, material, or multi-system work goes through the Map before anyone quotes an implementation.

  • Start here

    AI Opportunity Map

    Paid discovery that decides what should change, what should not, and what it is worth doing about it.

    From $2,500

    A starting point for a tightly bounded assessment, not a single price for every assessment. Scope is confirmed in writing before the work begins.

    Includes

    • Stakeholder and workflow discovery
    • Current-state workflow mapping
    • Cost-of-friction analysis
    • Prioritized AI, automation, integration, process, and internal-tool opportunities
    What AI Opportunity Map involves

How we work with you

Build for You

You show us the work and the outcome you want. We lead the redesign and the implementation of a bounded workflow or internal capability, and hand the resulting system back to you.

Good fit when: You want the result delivered, and you do not want to perform most of the implementation yourself.

  • Focused Automation Build Sprint

    One bounded, high-value workflow redesigned and implemented, with a named owner and agreed success criteria.

    From $5,000

    A starting point for one bounded workflow. More involved production work costs more, and the number is confirmed in writing once scope is understood.

    Includes

    • A confirmed future-state workflow
    • Implementation architecture
    • Configured automation, or a narrowly scoped internal capability
    • Integrations within agreed boundaries
    What Focused Automation Build Sprint involves

How we work with you

Build with You

We work side by side with your team (architecture, implementation help, and review) while your people keep ownership of what gets built and how it works.

Good fit when: You have a technically engaged owner or a capable internal participant who wants to stay involved and keep the knowledge in-house.

Build with YouShape

Collaborative Build Blocks

Structured working time against a defined objective, with your team doing the building and us alongside.

The problem it addresses
You have capable people and a clear enough objective. What is missing is architecture, a second set of hands, and someone who has done this before sitting next to you.
Who it is for
A client with a technically engaged owner or a capable internal participant who intends to stay involved and keep the knowledge in-house.
What you end up with
Tangible implementation progress on a defined objective, plus capability your team keeps afterward.

What is included

  • Architecture and solution design
  • Implementation assistance
  • Configuration
  • Troubleshooting
  • Testing
  • Technical review
  • Documentation
  • Guided deployment
  • Capability transfer

Starting price

From $1,000

A block is structured working time against an objective agreed before it starts. It is not a commitment that an arbitrarily large project finishes inside the hours you selected.

Block sizes

4 hours
$1,000
10 hours
$2,500
20 hours
$5,000

What the engagement looks like

Scheduled working sessions against an objective agreed before the block starts, with a short written summary of what was done and what comes next.

Show Us How You Work
What changes the price
  • The block price is fixed, and what varies is how much of the objective fits inside it
  • System complexity and how ready your environment is
  • How much design is still open when the block starts
  • How much your team carries between sessions
What is not included

This is not generic hourly consulting, not an on-call support arrangement, and not a substitute for a scoped build when nobody on your side has the capacity to participate.

What we need from your team
  • A participant who attends and does the work between sessions
  • Access to your own systems
  • A defined objective before the block starts
Who owns what afterward

Everything is built in your environment, by your people, with us alongside. The knowledge stays where it was created.

How we work with you

Teach You to Build

We develop role-specific AI and automation capability around your actual work, your approved tools, your governance requirements, and the decisions that must stay with a person.

Good fit when: The constraint is employee capability, AI adoption, practical use, or internal builder development, not an unbuilt system.

  • Applied AI Workshop

    A hands-on session that connects AI to the actual work a specific role performs.

    From $3,000

    Scoped by the number of participants, the roles in scope, how much workflow preparation is needed, and whether the session runs on site.

    Includes

    • Real workflow examples from the roles in the room
    • Approved-use boundaries
    • Hands-on exercises on actual work
    • Reusable prompts
    What Applied AI Workshop involves

  • AI Enablement Sprint

    Multiple sessions plus supported application to real work, moving a team from experimentation to repeatable capability.

    Programs typically begin around $5,000

    Program length, the number of roles, and how much implementation assistance is included all move the number. Larger multi-team programs are scoped separately.

    Includes

    • Role-based use cases
    • Reusable prompt and workflow assets
    • Live practice on real work
    • Governance expectations
    What AI Enablement Sprint involves

Improve

After it is running

Optional, and it stays optional. A Care Plan exists because ongoing improvement is worth buying, never because we hold something you need to keep your own system running.

Improve

AI Ops Care Plan

Optional recurring monitoring, troubleshooting, optimization, and small improvements after a successful deployment.

The problem it addresses
Something is deployed and working. Automations drift, systems change underneath them, adoption fades, and people leave.
Who it is for
A client with a system already running that wants someone accountable for it continuing to work, and for it getting better.
What you end up with
Defined monitoring, a route for fixes, and steady small improvements for as long as the economics justify them.

What is included

  • Defined monitoring
  • Troubleshooting
  • Optimization
  • Adoption review
  • Usage review
  • Periodic opportunity review
  • A defined small-improvement allowance

Starting price

From $1,500 per month

Scoped to what is running, how critical it is, and how large the small-improvement allowance is.

What the engagement looks like

A monthly agreement with defined scope and a named contact, reviewed on a set cadence rather than running open-ended.

Show Us How You Work
What changes the price
  • Number of systems covered, and how critical they are
  • Response expectations
  • Size of the improvement allowance
  • How many people need support
What is not included

This is not unlimited development. Substantial new workflows, integrations, features, or applications are scoped as separate engagements.

What we need from your team
  • Continued access to the systems being cared for
  • A named contact on your side
  • Telling us when the underlying business process changes
Who owns what afterward

The Care Plan is optional, and it stays optional. It exists because ongoing improvement is worth buying, never because we hold something you need to keep your own system running.

Bigger than one workflow

Larger implementations

The requirement is bigger than one workflow. It spans systems, teams, and data, and a spreadsheet with a chain of integrations behind it has stopped being enough.

Scoped after discovery

No fixed price is published for complex multi-system work before the requirements are understood. Ambiguous, material, or multi-system work goes back through an AI Opportunity Map first.

AI-Native Internal Tools

Still not sure which one fits? Bring the workflow, not the service. A short Fit Conversation decides the rest.
