Pricing & proposals
Start with a free diagnostic, use paid discovery when the operating problem needs a formal design, and approve implementation only after scope, access, complexity, responsibilities, and acceptance are understood.
Five commercial paths
The assessment routes the business toward a Blueprint, a bounded pilot, a focused production workflow, or a broader operating layer. These are not mandatory sequential purchases. The correct route depends on how clearly the task, context, systems, authority, and desired outcome can be bounded.
Best for
One priority workflow that needs a formal implementation design
Duration
Approximately 10 business days
Working sessions
Up to three stakeholder interviews
Deliverables
Current-state map, system inventory, target design, and implementation boundary
Decision point
Approve, revise, or stop before production implementation access
The Blueprint belongs to your business. You receive the current-state map, target workflow, system and data inventory, implementation boundary, risks, responsibilities, acceptance criteria, delivery phases, and final quotation. You may approve implementation, revise the scope, defer the project, or stop after receiving it. If StructuredLayer proceeds with implementation, an agreed portion of the Blueprint fee may be credited in the implementation proposal.

The sample shows the depth and type of evidence a $3,500 Operating-Layer Blueprint can contain. It is illustrative, not a client case study or guarantee.
Free
Usually completed in 20-30 minutes
Identify the operating problem and the most appropriate next step before detailed discovery or implementation access.
Does not include stakeholder interviews, detailed architecture, custom workflow mapping, or an implementation plan.
Start Free Workflow Assessment$3,500 fixed
Approximately 10 business days
Turn one priority workflow into a documented current state, target design, implementation boundary, and proposal.
This is paid discovery and design. The client receives the completed Blueprint whether or not implementation proceeds. It does not include production configuration, migration, integration, or automation.
Review the Operating-Layer Blueprint$6,500-$12,500
Typical duration: 2-4 weeks
Test one contained AI task using approved information, limited tools, representative examples, human escalation, cost monitoring, and measurable evaluation.
No general production commitment. The pilot is a controlled test. Any continuing live operation requires a separately approved production and ownership boundary.
Review the Bounded AI Agent Pilot$9,500-$17,500
Typical duration confirmed after Blueprint
Implement one bounded workflow such as RFQ intake, estimating handoff, proposal control, document control, follow-up, or reporting.
The final price is quoted after scope, access, migration, integration, and approval complexity are confirmed.
Review Workflow Implementation$30,000-$75,000+
Phased timeline confirmed after Blueprint
Connect several workflows, shared records, reporting, permissions, integrations, and controlled automation across the business.
A paid blueprint is required before the final scope, phases, responsibilities, timeline, and fixed price are agreed.
Review Operating Layer ImplementationBounded AI Agent Pilot pricing boundary
The pilot range assumes one bounded task, one named owner, a limited context package, up to two approved systems or sources, representative test cases, and controlled human review. Additional systems, browser-only environments, large document sets, sensitive information, custom interfaces, extensive migration, or production monitoring are scoped separately.

Ranges are planning guidance before a written proposal. Taxes, approved travel, and third-party platform or usage charges are excluded.
Common implementation scopes
The five commercial paths explain how a client buys. These examples show what may be implemented inside a pilot, Single Workflow, or Complete Operating Layer engagement after the required evidence, systems, controls, and commercial boundary are defined.
Turn authorized project listings, invitations, notices, and supporting documents into structured opportunities that a team can review and qualify.
Best fit
AEC and construction teams reviewing opportunities across several approved sources.
Typical outputs
Commercial treatment
Scoped within a Single Workflow or Complete Operating Layer engagement after the Blueprint confirms sources, permissions, volume, and operating ownership.
Identify authorized project documents, extract agreed fields, distinguish revisions, and surface conflicting or incomplete information for review.
Best fit
Teams managing high volumes of drawings, specifications, reports, correspondence, or other changing project documents.
Typical outputs
Commercial treatment
Scoped after representative documents, extraction fields, variation, permissions, validation requirements, and exception handling are examined.
Replay approved representative cases through the proposed records, rules, permissions, and recovery paths before changing live operations.
Best fit
Teams that need evidence from prior work before introducing an AI-assisted or automated workflow into production.
Typical outputs
Commercial treatment
Included when required by the implementation scope. Historical testing supports a release decision but does not prove every future case will succeed.
Pricing boundary
These are representative implementation scopes, not separate fixed-price products or guarantees of continuous coverage, extraction correctness, automation performance, or future-case success. The written proposal defines the actual sources, outputs, review requirements, exclusions, ownership, price, and acceptance tests.
Which level fits?
The free assessment identifies the starting point. A Blueprint defines a wider implementation boundary, while a bounded pilot tests one contained AI task. Production work begins only under a separately approved implementation proposal.

What determines implementation timing
Client access and approvals · Number of participating systems · Historical migration · Document variation · Integration restrictions · Testing availability · Security review · Stakeholder decisions. The proposal converts these reviewed conditions into a delivery plan; StructuredLayer does not publish an unsupported universal implementation duration.
Budget drivers
System restrictions, poor historical data, document variation, AI evaluation, security requirements, and compressed schedules create real design and validation effort.
Normal boundary versus complexity allowance: The implementation level describes the normal delivery boundary. Complexity allowances apply only when a system, dataset, or requirement creates work beyond that normal boundary. The written proposal identifies which allowances apply and why; none are added automatically.
This allowance covers additional implementation controls and coordination. It does not represent certification or a guarantee of regulatory compliance. Independent legal, compliance, security, or specialist review may be required and remains separately authorised.
Rush delivery is offered only when capacity, access, client decision-makers, security review, and testing availability allow the agreed controls to remain intact. Approval, validation, or governance requirements are not removed to meet a compressed date.
Payment milestones
Commercial stages match the size of the engagement and the moments when design, build, deployment, and handover can be inspected.
Blueprint
100%
Before kickoff
The fixed discovery engagement begins once scope, participants, confidentiality, and payment are confirmed.
Implementation under $20,000
50 / 30 / 20
Kickoff / build approval / handover
Payments follow delivery progress and named approval points rather than elapsed time alone.
Larger phased engagement
30 / 30 / 30 / 10
Kickoff / design / deployment / handover
Each phase has agreed deliverables, responsibilities, acceptance criteria, and approval authority.
Commercial boundaries
Dependable delivery requires more than a fee. The agreement identifies inputs, authority, dependencies, exclusions, tests, acceptance, and what happens when circumstances change.
Software subscriptions, hosting, storage, API, AI usage, vendor licences, and approved travel are paid separately by the client.
Work outside the signed scope begins only after the effect on price, timing, responsibilities, and acceptance is documented and approved.
The client provides authorised access, accurate available information, named decision-makers, and timely reviews. Hidden constraints or delayed approvals may change the plan.
A proposal states deliverables, exclusions, dependencies, test conditions, handover outputs, and the people authorised to accept the work.
The accepted implementation includes a defined period to correct defects against scope. Monitoring ownership transfers at handover, while enhancements and vendor-driven changes remain visible new work.
Review handover and closureCorrection of accepted-scope defects during the stated 30-day or 60-day period, with the agreed reporting and resolution process.
New features, changed rules, extra records, vendor changes, expanded integrations, new reports, and ongoing administration are scoped separately.
