- A run log you can show an auditor: the platform's run history, plus dated files where the work produces them.

Questions about price
Is the price fixed?
Yes. A standard automation is $499. Custom work is fixed in writing after the free prototype and before any work starts, from $995.
Does the 2-week build time include waiting for our partners?
No. About 2 weeks is typical for the build once access is in place. Partner test access can take weeks or months, so we ask for test credentials on day one.
Do we have to take monthly support?
No. It's optional: $99 a month, month to month, cancel anytime. It covers hosting, monitoring, fixes and small changes. The automations are built in your own accounts and documented, so your team can run them without us.
What do we pay for besides your price?
Your own software subscriptions, such as Microsoft 365 and your automation platform's plan, stay in your name and on your bill. Your partners' fees are between you and them. Systems with no ready-made connector, custom software and on-premises servers are quoted separately, in writing, after the prototype.
How can a custom build start at $995?
AI coding tools made the mechanical build work about 5x faster; understanding your workflow didn't get faster. That is why the call and the prototype come first, and why the price is fixed only after them.
