Approach and pricing

You can fire us and keep everything.

Code in your repo, prompts and evals versioned, a model-agnostic gateway, and a team trained to change any of it. Every engagement has a stage, one offer attached and a hard exit criterion.

5 stages · one cross-cutting track · 11 published bands

The Layer Path

Five stages, one cross-cutting track.

Each stage answers one question, carries one offer, and is done when its exit criterion is met. Fixed price after paid discovery, never on a meter.

Pricing

Published bands, INR and USD.

Fixed after paid discovery, never on a meter. Bands assume a senior India day rate at the top of the boutique range and roughly two to three times that in USD for overseas buyers. All fixed by milestone, excluding tax. Sprint, Pilot and Sustain is the usual path. GBP, EUR, SGD and AED are quoted per proposal at the rate on the day; no third currency is published here.

Questions

What clients ask first.

Is the price really fixed?
Yes, after paid discovery. The Signal Sprint is the discovery; its fee is credited to the pilot or Bench engagement that follows within 90 days. Nothing runs on a meter.
What happens if the pilot misses the bar?
The eval bar and the cost ceiling are agreed before the pilot starts. If it misses, we extend up to two weeks at no charge. If it still misses, the report says so and you keep everything built.
Who owns the code?
You do, from day one. It lives in your repository and your cloud tenant. Prompts and evals are versioned there too.
Which models and clouds?
Whatever you already run. Azure, Google Cloud and Databricks most often; Claude and Gemini models through a model-agnostic gateway, so a model change is a configuration change.
Where does our data go?
Nowhere. We build in your tenant and your repo; nothing is copied to our systems. The security page states this per market.
How do we start?
A discovery call, then the free Signal Scan or a Live Demo on your data. Most engagements begin with a Signal Sprint.
