Every price on one page. Before the first meeting.
Consulting firms hide their rates because the rate card is where the margin lives. We publish ours because a fixed price is the only way the incentive lands on your result instead of our hours. Prices below are for U.S. engagements, in U.S. dollars, and are current for engagements signed in 2026 and the first half of 2027.
Start small or start with a plan. Both are priced.
Fixed fees are invoiced 50% at signing and 50% on delivery. Travel is billed at cost with prior approval. Software licenses and model usage fees are the client's and are passed through with no markup.

The fine print, in large type.
What is included in every fixed fee?
Senior partner leadership, the practice bench the work requires, all PrimeInsite tooling and AI usage on our side, written deliverables, readouts, and 30 days of follow-up questions after delivery.
What is not included?
Software licenses and model usage fees for tools that run in your business, which are yours and passed through at cost with no markup. Travel, billed at cost with prior approval. Third-party hardware. Legal review of contracts, which we recommend you obtain from your counsel.
How is payment handled?
Fixed fees: 50% at signing, 50% on delivery, net 15. Retainers and Managed Operations: monthly in advance. Gainshare payments: quarterly, against verified results from your systems of record. Card payments accepted on fees under $25,000.
What if the scope grows?
Within a phase, that is our problem. If the business turns out to be materially different from what you described when we scoped it, we will tell you in the first week and you can stop with no fee beyond work done. Between phases, scope is re-set at the published price.
Do you offer discounts?
Three or more sprints in one agreement are $44,000 each. A Briefing is credited against an Assessment signed within 60 days. Franchisor-sponsored programs across multiple franchisees are priced per program. We do not discount for logos or references.
Will prices change?
Prices on this page apply to engagements signed through June 2027. We update the page, not the invoice. Signed agreements hold their price for their term.
Bring us the problem. We'll bring the plan and the price.
A 30-minute working session with a senior partner. No deck, no pitch. You leave with a point of view on where AI pays back in your operation and what it would cost to find out.
