Business Automation Engineering pricing.
Automation projects are priced based on how many systems are involved, how much conditional logic the workflow requires, and how much of the process is currently undocumented. Here's what actually moves the number.
What changes the number.
- Number of systems that need to be connected
- Complexity of the workflow logic (linear steps versus conditional branching and approvals)
- Whether any step requires AI-assisted judgment versus fixed rules
- How well-documented the current process already is
- Volume of data the automation needs to handle per run
Included
- Full process mapping and documentation
- All system integrations and workflow logic
- Error handling and failure alerting
- Testing against real historical data
- Handoff documentation for your team
Not included
- Licensing costs for any third-party tools or platforms used
- AI model usage costs for any AI-assisted steps (billed at provider rates)
- Building new APIs on systems that don't have one, if unavoidable (scoped separately)
- Ongoing workflow changes after launch, available as a separate retainer
Example ranges, not fixed packages.
Single workflow automation
Scoped after consultation
One process, like a data sync or approval chain, between two or three systems
Multi-system automation
Scoped after consultation
A workflow touching several systems with conditional logic and multiple stakeholders
Automation suite
Scoped after consultation
Multiple related automations across a broader operational process, built together
What affects how long it takes.
- How many systems need integration and how accessible their APIs are
- How much conditional logic and exception handling the workflow requires
- Whether the current process is well-documented or needs to be mapped from scratch
- Volume and cleanliness of the data involved
What we need from you.
- A walkthrough of the current process, including any manual workarounds
- Access credentials or API documentation for the systems involved
- Examples of real data the automation will process
- Who should be notified or looped in when something needs human attention
From conversation to fixed quote.
Process walkthrough
We sit with your team to map exactly how the process works today, step by step.
Systems review
We check API access and data quality across every system involved.
Scoped proposal
We send a fixed-scope proposal covering the workflow, integrations, timeline, and price.
Kickoff
Once approved, we begin design and integration work.
