Pricing
Productised offers across three tiers — with Entry, Standard, and Premium prices published for each. Same scope language. Same delivery model. The only thing that changes is depth.
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. New retainers usually start in a Standard tier.
Engagement models
Discrete diagnostic or pilot
Ongoing senior advisory and delivery
Team build with structured handover
Non-recurring specialist project
Tier A · Hero retainers
Long-cycle, high-value, calendar-based engagements. Hard technology and senior technical ownership, on retainer. Every offer below has Entry, Standard, and Premium variants — the Standard price is what most clients start on. Cancel anytime.
Senior CTO + CPO embedded 1–3 days a week. Architecture, roadmap, hiring, and board / investor support.
6–18 month build with handover. We build, run, then hand over to the full-time CTO we helped hire.
Roadmap, agentic systems, ML evaluation, and internal tools — applied AI for the business and the engineering org.
Deep coverage for robotics, edge-AI, and computer-vision teams. Isaac Sim, OAK-D / Jetson pipelines, synthetic data.
AWS architecture, SOC-2 readiness, and observability. Production-grade platforms that scale without surprises.
Internal admin tools, hiring-funnel design, and technical interviewing — build the org and the tooling at once.
Fixed-fee 2–6 week pre-close engagement. Architecture, team, and risk assessment with a written investor-ready report.
Strategy, vendor selection, AI roadmap, and board prep — senior, on call. Bi-weekly working sessions plus async memos.
All prices per month unless noted, excluding VAT. Standard is the live-pricing anchor.
Tier B · Care
Lighter-touch, always-on, runbook-delivered. Each Care offer keeps your systems healthy between bigger pushes — and scales across the network without adding senior hours.
Maintenance, security patching, monitoring, and a monthly platform / cloud health review.
Model drift monitoring, retraining, guardrails, and incident response for production AI systems.
Edge / OAK-D fleet monitoring and computer-vision model refresh, keeping on-device pipelines current.
All prices per month, excluding VAT. Standard is the live-pricing anchor.
What you get at each tier
Every retainer publishes a concrete day or hour cadence at each tier — not a vague scope band. Standard is what most clients start on. Senior ownership is constant; depth scales.

FAQ
Because "contact for pricing" wastes both of our time. If €6k–€14k/month is outside your budget, you'd rather know now than after three intro calls. We'd rather spend time on prospects we can actually serve.
They're anchors. The published Standard price is what most clients in that band pay. Scope adjustments — more days, more pillars, faster ramp — move you up or down inside the tier band.
See the comparison table above. Cadence, hands-on depth, written-update rhythm, and board / investor support scale with tier. Senior ownership is constant across all three.
A 30-minute discovery call, a written scope summary in 48 hours, then a 2-week paid pilot at a pro-rated tier price. If the fit is wrong after the pilot, we part as friends. Most pilots convert.
Yes — every retainer cancels with 30-day written notice, no termination fees. Long-term partnerships happen because they keep paying off, not because they're locked in.
Rarely. We sometimes accept a small equity component on top of cash with strategic founders we'd want as long-term partners, but cash funds the studio's runway and pays the network. We don't replace cash with equity.
Edge AI, simulation, synthetic data, VR, Technical Due Diligence. Fixed-scope, 1–6 month engagements with weekly written progress. See the Specialised page for the menu.
Entry is the discount-price floor for early-stage teams. Standard is the live-pricing anchor for most engagements. Premium reflects regulated environments, hardware-in-the-loop, or full-time-equivalent allocation.
With integration complexity, regulated environments (medical, industrial), hardware-in-the-loop, multi-team coordination, and IP / security requirements. We give you a fixed quote after discovery.
No. Retainers are monthly with a defined number of days/week. Specialised engagements are billed monthly for a fixed scope.

Yes. We work remotely with teams across Europe and North America, with on-site days in Barcelona or your office when it matters.
Many don't. We'll scope a specialised engagement after the discovery call.
