# Pricing: a managed service based on value
## A managed service, *priced on value*
You are not buying a software licence to use yourself. We configure, connect, manage and expand. We align the price with what it delivers for you; six factors determine the work involved.
[Book an introductory meeting]()[View our approach]()
- Scoping first, then a proposal
- Go/no-go at each phase
- Management agreed upfront
## Why there is no amount here
A price list says little about the value a workflow brings you. We therefore base the price on three questions: what it delivers, what the partnership is worth to your organisation, and what suits your situation.
After scoping, you receive a written proposal and price before we start. You know what you are agreeing to.
## What the *managed service* covers
1. ScopingYour goals mapped and prioritised in around three days, with a written proposal and price.
2. OnboardingIntegrations with your systems, your organisation's context recorded and the first use cases live.
3. Management and iterationMonitoring, maintenance and adjustments, with changes in manageable steps. We keep it running.
4. ExpansionNew integrations, workflows and agents, each as a separate decision with its own price.
## Six factors that determine scope
### Scope
How many process steps the workflow takes over, and how many exceptions it must recognise. Doing one step well costs less than doing an entire process halfway.
### Usage
How often the workflow runs and how much it must read and process each time. Usage is tracked by organisation, so you can see where it goes.
### Review
Every approval takes someone's time. More actions with human approval mean more certainty and more internal hours; that is a choice, not an afterthought.
### Management
Systems and processes change: fields, permissions, integrations, working methods. We update the workflows; how often that is needed determines the management effort.
### Integrations
Configuring an existing integration takes less work than connecting a system for which no route exists yet. The site states the route used for each integration.
### Ownership and exit
If you want to be able to take over full management, with transferable documentation and a detailed exit plan, that is additional work we identify upfront.
## More or less work, for each price factor
| Price factor | More work when | Less work when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scope | Several departments, many exceptions, multiple systems | One step, one team, one source system |
| Usage | High volume and lots of text or documents per run | Low volume, short input, fixed questions |
| Review | Approval for everything, several approvers | Read only where possible, one clear approver |
| Management | Frequently changing systems and processes | Stable systems and a fixed working method |
| Integrations | A system with no existing route, requiring custom development | An existing integration that only needs configuration |
| Ownership and exit | Full handover with documentation and an exit test | Management stays with us, agreements in the contract |
## Which of these six apply to you?
The table above applies to everyone. This assessment identifies which price factors count in your case and names them in your result. It does not give an amount, because we price on value. What it does show: the size of your scope, what would make it smaller, and which decisions you need to make before a price is meaningful.
## What a proposal includes and excludes
Our proposal covers the work we do: scoping, configuring integrations, building and launching workflows, and ongoing management.
It excludes licences for your own systems, your team's internal hours for review and decisions, and changes needed because permissions or processes on your side are not in order. We do identify them, so you see the whole bill rather than just our part.
The costs people forget
- Internal time for approval and corrections, especially in the first weeks
- Cleaning up permissions or data before a workflow can use them
- The process owner's time during scoping and onboarding
- The second implementation, which is what proves repeatability
## Frequently asked questions about pricing
Why is there no price or starting amount on this page?
Because we price on value. A workflow's value depends on what it delivers and how your organisation works. After scoping, you receive a written proposal and price before we start.
Do we need to use the platform ourselves?
No. You pay for a managed service: we configure, connect, manage and expand. You decide and approve where it matters.
Do we pay everything upfront?
No. You decide at each phase, and pay for the phase you agree to. If you stop after a phase, the bill stops there too.
Are there ongoing costs?
Yes. Management continues because we keep the workflows running and adjust them when things change. There is also usage. We agree both upfront instead of settling them afterwards.
What if it costs more than estimated?
We tell you before doing the work, not afterwards. A change in scope is a new decision with its own price.
Can we start small?
Yes, and that is usually wise. Start with scoping and one or two use cases, then decide about the rest.
## Discuss what it delivers for you.
In an introductory meeting, we look at your goals. After scoping, you receive a written proposal and price.
