What drives the price

The variables

There is no single fixed number because businesses differ, and a one-size price either overcharges the simple job or underdelivers the complex one. A handful of things move the figure, and we walk through all of them on your Brain Map so there are no surprises.

Scope of the system

How many workflows you want connected. One operations hub sits at the lower end. A full system replacing several tools at once sits higher.

People and access

How many staff need logins and how finely you need to control who sees what. More roles and permissions means more to build and test.

Software and apps

A back-office hub is one thing. A customer-facing app or a founder's MVP is a bigger build, which is why those are scoped on a call.

Data to migrate

Years of spreadsheets and files take longer to bring across cleanly than a fresh start. We tell you the cost of tidiness up front.

How to buy in stages

The path

The whole point of staging the price is that you never spend on trust. Each step is a decision on its own, not a commitment to the next.

01

Map

Spend £500 on a Brain Map. See the full picture, the plan and the honest numbers. Keep it even if you stop here.

02

Build

If it makes sense, commission the Brain Build from £1,000 to £1,500. You already know exactly what it includes.

03

Own

We install it in your accounts, train you, and hand you the keys. No licence, no lock-in, no monthly bill unless you want one.

04

Boost

Add a Brain Boost from £250 a month only once the system is live and earning its place. Change or stop it anytime.

Cost questions

FAQ
What does an AI system cost for a business?+

A business AI build in the UK is staged so you never overpay. A Brain Map is £500 one-off, a full Brain Build runs from £1,000 to £1,500, and ongoing support is a Brain Boost retainer from £250 to £500 a month. Larger apps and MVPs are scoped on a discovery call. You always know the number before we start.

Why not one fixed price for everything?+

Because businesses differ and a single fixed price either overcharges the simple job or underdelivers the complex one. Staging it means you pay £500 to see the plan first, then only commit to the build once you know exactly what it includes and what it will cost.

What drives the price up or down?+

Scope drives the price: how many workflows you want connected, how many people need access, whether it needs a customer-facing app, and how much of your data needs migrating. A single operations hub sits at the lower end, a full system with custom software and AI agents sits higher.

Are there ongoing costs?+

Only if you want them. The build is a one-off and you own it. Optional monthly support is a Brain Boost from £250 to £500 a month, with the Content Engine at £299 to £399 and the Intelligence Dossier at £299 to £499. There is no contract lock-in and you can stop whenever you like.

How do I buy in stages?+

Start with a £500 Brain Map to see the full picture and plan. If it makes sense, commission the Brain Build from £1,000 to £1,500. Add a monthly Brain Boost only once it is live and earning its place. Each step is a decision, not a commitment to the next.
