## Pricing and engagements
All engagements are fixed price, agreed before work starts. There is no hourly billing.
- Free Hive Session: a 30-minute call to learn how the business runs and spot what AI can take off the owner's plate. The client leaves with a clear plan; any build gets a fixed-price quote before work begins. Book it at https://cal.com/hivekeeper/30min
- Hive Audit: starting at $2,000, one-time, about one week. Includes a half-day working session, a written AI roadmap, and tool and cost recommendations. The fee is credited toward any build.
- First Cell Build: fixed price, quoted after the audit, typically live in two to three weeks. Includes team training and 30 days of support. The client owns the code and the prompts.
- Hive Care: monthly monitoring, tuning and updates, scaled to what is maintained. Cancel anytime.
- Keeper Partner: monthly retainer on a six-month term for fractional AI leadership and standing build capacity.

Build prices depend on four things: how many jobs the build handles, how many people use it, how ready the data is, and what it has to connect to.

## How they work
Every job moves through the Colony System: Scout (work comes in), Sort (real work is separated from noise), Route (sent to the right worker, model or human), Build (the task gets done), and Keeper Check (a human reviews before it ships).
