## Pricing
- Personal AI Agent Build: $4,000 one-time + $450/month × 3 months of weekly 60-minute training (virtual or in person). A custom AI agent system built around the owner's goals, calendar, content, and daily work. Includes custom CLAUDE.md, Obsidian vault, agent roster, install README, and a Personal Dashboard build-kit (folder structure and instructions for the owner's agents to build their own founder dashboard at a domain they own).
- Business AI Agent Build: $8,000 one-time + $800/month × 3 months of weekly 90-minute training with the owner and one key operator. Includes the full Personal AI Agent Build for the owner, plus a transferable agent system for one business with 1-2 custom core agents (proposal generator, pipeline standup, post-close follow-up — whichever moves the needle for that business), operator handoff package (README, install steps, voice rules, sample workflows). Each additional business under the same owner: $5,000.
- Hardware Setup (add-on): $3,500. Combines with either build above. Available for Central Ohio engagements only — hardware is delivered and configured in person. Includes a new laptop selected to match the owner's OS preference (MacBook or Lenovo), an external SSD for backup and portable vault, password management, secure configuration, and full preinstall of CBus AI Agents tools — delivered ready to use. Designed for owners who want a sandboxed, higher-security device separate from their daily personal machine.
- Additional Operator Add-on: $1,000 per second key operator added to the Business Build training. Capped at one add-on per business entity. Covers voice intake, template review pass, and install handoff for that operator. Not marked up for remote engagements.
- Remote Engagement Premium: +20% on build fees for clients outside Central Ohio. Applies to the $4,000 Personal, $8,000 Business, and $5,000 per-additional-business fees. Does NOT apply to monthly training, the per-operator add-on, or hardware (hardware is not offered remote). Reflects the extra coordination work — multi-operator voice review, async install support, and the higher number of touchpoints required to do it well at distance.
- 3-month training begins at delivery (hardware handover OR software zip transfer), not at signing.
- After the 3 months: no auto-renewals. Last training session is an exit interview. Owner can run independently (full ownership, no platform lock-in) or scope a new agreement based on what they actually need next.
