OUR PRICING PRINCIPLES
No tokens preferred!
Token pricing is notoriously hard to explain, understand and calculate. It’s hard to accept because it’s uncertain and detached from value. So … we don’t like tokens.
We don’t resell cloud compute
We’re not an agent for major cloud providers (like AWS, Azure, or Google). We don’t buy their compute and resell it. We sell our own custom compute infra.
We don’t sell time
All our engagements are fixed priced, not open ended T&M.
PRICING OPTIONS
More control, less spend
1. Consulting
Fixed price per engagement with FOC initial scoping and workshops.
2. Applications
Fixed price per app with FOC POCs and initial planning workshops.
3. AI infra
