The first step is a fixed-fee diagnostic. Everything after it is scoped there.
How pricing works
The diagnostic is a fixed fee, agreed before we start. It ends with a scoped, priced plan for the build. Nothing after it is open-ended.
Forge Diagnostic
Where every engagement starts.
Eval and Reliability Audit
For AI systems you already built. An eval harness, reliability gates, a fix plan.
Forge Sprint
A live production system. Ships with an eval harness and reliability gates as a named deliverable.
Forge Scale
The Adoption Mile. The top tier is a Fractional Chief AI Officer engagement.
Forge Run
Managed agent operations after a build. Monitoring, production evals, SLAs, model upgrades.
PE and multi-company platform work
Diagnostics and builds across the portfolio companies you choose.
What happens in the first 2 weeks
The Diagnostic is a fixed fee, agreed up front. It ends with a decision you can price, not a report you file.
- Week 1
Map the workflow, size the opportunity
We sit inside the workflow and put a number on what the manual steps cost.
- Week 2
Prove viability, price the build
We test the system against your real data and scope the Sprint.
- Day 10 to 14
A decision you can price
Build, fix, or stop. If you build, the Sprint arrives already priced.
