Production automation should not begin with an opaque sales process or an unbounded promise. Every standard engagement names its price range, system boundary, intended buyer, timeline, outputs, exclusions, recovery duty, and acceptance evidence.
Tier I establishes the right automation boundary. Tier II delivers production capability. Tier III owns lifecycle health, reliability, and continuous improvement.
Establish what should be automated, what should remain human, and what architecture and controls the investment requires.
$750–$1,500
A focused architecture session that determines whether one operational problem should be automated, redesigned, integrated, purchased, or left alone.
$5,000–$15,000
A technical and operational assessment of one workflow or automation estate across process, systems, data, APIs, failure modes, controls, volume, cost, and ownership.
$25,000–$50,000
A build-ready architecture for a consequential automation capability, including interfaces, data, authority, failure behavior, observability, release, ownership, and recovery.
Engineer, integrate, test, release, observe, and document production automation systems with explicit recovery and ownership.
$10,000–$50,000
A production workflow system connecting triggers, business rules, AI or agents where justified, human approvals, applications, exceptions, monitoring, and documented ownership.
$75,000–$150,000
A department control plane joining workflow intake, queues, automations, agents, integrations, approvals, telemetry, incidents, cost, history, and management reporting.
$250,000–$500,000
An enterprise automation foundation for governed workflow intake, reusable services, agents, integrations, data movement, environments, release, observability, recovery, and ownership.
Operate and improve the automation estate through monitoring, incident response, lifecycle maintenance, cost control, and proof.
$3,000–$7,500/month
Scheduled technical stewardship for an existing automation estate: architecture review, lifecycle maintenance, dependency risk, telemetry review, cost, incidents, and improvement planning.
$10,000–$25,000/month
A fractional production automation office responsible for intake, prioritization, engineering standards, release review, incident coordination, estate health, vendors, and continuous improvement.
$25,000–$100,000+/month
An embedded engineering and operating function coordinating automation strategy, architecture, production delivery, reliability, security, telemetry, incident response, proof, and capability development.
The assessment captures volume, exceptions, systems, interfaces, data, risk, availability, recovery, ownership, economics, and proof. It routes to the smallest responsible next step.
