Pricing

Priced against your in-house cost — not bodies, not hours.

Per-hour and per-seat pricing turns everything into a headcount comparison. That's not what you're buying. You're buying finished work, below what your own team costs — and you only pay for the work you actually use. So we price against your real alternative: the fully loaded cost of doing it in-house.

~50%
Typical delivered cost vs. in-house

For the same senior-quality output, our delivered cost commonly lands around half of a loaded in-house hire.

Idle bench cost

You pay for output, not salaries sitting idle in slow months. Capacity flexes — so the real saving runs past the rate alone.

100%
Of the work, to your bar

We guarantee the quality of the work — not just that people showed up. If it doesn't clear the bar, you don't pay.

Why it's more than half

Two savings stack on top of each other.

Most agencies look only at the rate. The bigger number is what you stop paying for when labor becomes elastic.

Saving 01 — The rate

Senior output, about half the cost.

The engine lets a senior expert produce what normally takes a team. So the delivered cost of the work lands well below your loaded in-house rate — commonly around half.

Lower cost on every hour of work you move to us
Saving 02 — The elasticity

You stop paying for the gaps.

In-house, you pay full salaries whether the work is there or not — through ramp, slow months, PTO, and turnover. With elastic capacity you pay only when there's work. Stacked on the rate, your total saving runs comfortably past 50%.

No bench, no downtime, no paying for utilization you didn't get
The difference that matters

We guarantee the work — not the headcount.

Staffing shops promise you bodies and bill you for their hours, whatever the output. We promise the output. Every engagement starts with a one-month, money-back pilot measured against a quality bar we agree in writing. You're paying for work that clears your standard — not for time logged. That's the whole point of an elastic, guaranteed model: the risk of a bad hire, a slow ramp, or an off month stops being yours.

How it's structured

Two simple shapes, depending on the work.

Ongoing work

Managed capacity

Marketing, reporting, and project management run as a monthly managed-capacity engagement — an output envelope that flexes with your book. You're not renting seats; you're offloading delivery, priced against what it would cost you in-house.

Scales with your clients, not your headcount
Builds

Scoped projects

Web, creative production, and custom AI tools are scoped per project — a fixed, agreed price for a defined outcome, set before work starts. No open meters, no surprise overages.

A clear number for a clear deliverable
Try before the number matters

One month, money-back, before any commitment.

Start with a one-month pilot of managed capacity. We agree the bar in writing; if the work doesn't clear it, you don't pay. See the margin and the quality on your real work first.
