AI automation agency pricing
Two ladders. Published numbers.
This is our AI automation agency pricing in full — real AI operations system pricing on the page, not a quote form. NAZCO builds and runs AI operations systems for exactly two kinds of firms: independent RIAs ($100M–$1B AUM) and web-design agencies. RIAs onboard new households in days, not weeks. Agencies ship client sites in 1 week, not 6 — run from their own Slack or Discord. We don’t serve everyone — that’s the point.
The ladders
Start free. Climb when it pays.
Both ladders start with a free teardown and a credited paid rung — so by the time you’re looking at a build number, you’ve already seen what it’s worth in year one. Read your column top to bottom.
AI operations for fiduciary firms
The RIA ladder
For independent RIAs, $100M–$1B AUM, where onboarding a new household still takes weeks of operations time.
- 1
27-Point RIA Operations Teardown
Free
Your onboarding, meeting-prep, and client-service operation scored against 27 checkpoints — gaps ranked by the hours they cost you. Start here.
- 2100% credited to the build
AI Operations Audit + Roadmap
from $3,500
Where the hours actually go, what each fix is worth in year one, and the exact build plan — priced before you commit to anything. 100% credited to the build.
- 3
The Fiduciary Onboarding Engine
from $25,000
New-household intake in days, not weeks. Human-approval gates on every step, an audit trail built to support your books-and-records obligations, and integrations with Redtail/Wealthbox, your custodian portal, and eMoney/RightCapital.
- 4
The Firm Operating System
Scoped per engagement
The engine extended across the firm — meeting prep, service requests, reporting — once onboarding has proven itself. Scoped and priced per engagement.
Every build carries an ongoing care retainer — scoped with the engagement, so the system stays run, not just installed.
The delivery engine
The agency ladder
For web-design agencies that quote six weeks because the pipeline demands it — not because the work does.
- 1
Agency Delivery Teardown
Free
Your intake-to-launch pipeline mapped end to end — where the six weeks actually go, ranked by the margin you'd recover. Start here.
- 2100% credited to the build
The 7-Day Proof Sprint
from $3,500
One live client project shipped in seven days or less — in your stack, under your brand. Not a demo; a delivered site. 100% credited to the engine build.
- 3
The 1-Week Delivery Engine
from $15,000
The full intake → content → design → dev → QA → launch pipeline installed on your infrastructure and operated from your Slack or Discord. Human gate on every send and publish, your operator trained, white-label client reports.
- 4
The Agency Operating System
Scoped per engagement
Delivery plus the rest of the firm — sales ops, reporting, client comms — once the engine is paying for itself. Scoped and priced per engagement.
Every build carries an ongoing care retainer — scoped with the engagement, so the system stays run, not just installed.
All figures USD. “From” prices are floors, not anchors — final scope is fixed in writing before any build starts. Not sure which ladder? Take the 60-second qualifier.
White-label production menu
Unit prices. Your brand on everything.
For agencies on the delivery engine — production you can resell at your own margin, priced per unit so you can quote clients without calling us first.

The guarantees
Named. Dated. In writing.
RIA · The Fiduciary Onboarding Engine
Live-in-30
If the onboarding engine isn’t live and cutting new-household intake to 5 days or less within 30 days of system access, we keep building free until it is. Conditional on access and on-time milestone approvals.
Agency · The 7-Day Proof Sprint
Live-in-7
Your pilot project ships within 7 days of access and assets — or we work free until it does.
Agency · White-label SEO menu
Rank-Ready in 30
Every baseline site reaches a verified 85+ on-page score within 30 days of access — or we keep working free.
The Build-Until-It-Works Guarantee
We don’t stop until it works.
We agree on a clear acceptance target before we build. If the system isn’t hitting it, we keep building and optimizing at no extra cost until it does — provided you complete onboarding and approve milestones on time. Most agencies won’t put that in writing because they’re not sure it’ll work. We are.
How pricing works
You see the value before the price.
✓Value first, price second
We show you the year-one number — hours recovered, capacity unlocked, in dollars — before we show you the price. If the math doesn’t clear, we tell you and we don’t build.
✓Credited entry rungs
The audit and the proof sprint are 100% credited to the build that follows. If you proceed, the decision cost you nothing.
✓Milestone billing
You pay as systems go live — never the whole number up front. Every milestone has an acceptance target you approve.
✓Tools at cost
AI usage, hosting, messaging — billed to you directly at what they actually cost. Never marked up. Our fee is the build and the care.
✓Never discounted
If the number doesn’t work, we trim scope until it does. A smaller system built right beats a big one built at a loss.
Pricing questions
Pricing questions.
Which ladder is mine?+
If you run an independent RIA in the $100M–$1B AUM range, you’re on the left: the onboarding-engine ladder. If you run a web-design agency, you’re on the right: the delivery-engine ladder. If you’re neither, we’re probably not your firm — we don’t serve everyone, and that’s the point.
Why is the entry rung credited?+
The audit and the proof sprint are real paid work — a roadmap with year-one numbers in it, or a live client project shipped in seven days. If you go ahead with the build, 100% of that fee is credited against it. You decide with full information, and deciding costs you nothing if you proceed.
How do you price the bigger systems?+
Value-priced, in that order: you see the year-one number first — hours recovered, capacity unlocked — then the price next to it. Builds are billed by milestone, so you pay as systems go live. The AI operating system tier is scoped per engagement because no two firms need the same one — our AI automation services and AI automation consulting are priced to the value they unlock, never to a stock package.
Does the onboarding engine handle our compliance?+
No system can, and we won’t claim it does. The engine provides human-review gates on every step and an audit trail built to support your books-and-records obligations. Your CCO keeps oversight — every action is logged, and nothing goes out without approval.
Do you work with agencies?+
Half the practice. Beyond the delivery engine, agencies buy production from the white-label menu: the Ultra SEO Pass at $500 per client site — a 10-dimension scored audit with every fix deployed to a verified 85+ on-page core — and the Ultra SEO Blog at $150 per post, passing a 90/100 quality gate with schema and internal links, under your brand and byline.
What happens after the build?+
Every system ships with a care retainer attached — monitoring, fixes, and optimization, scoped with the engagement. A live system needs an operator; we stay on as that operator until your team takes over, and after, if you want us to.
Do you ever discount?+
No. If the budget and the scope don’t meet, we trim scope — never quality, never the price. Tools and usage are billed at cost, so there’s no padding to negotiate away in the first place.
What do the guarantees actually say?+
Live-in-30 (RIA): if the onboarding engine isn’t live and cutting intake to 5 days or less within 30 days of system access, we keep building free until it is — conditional on access and on-time milestone approvals. Live-in-7 (agency): the pilot project ships within 7 days of access and assets, or we work free until it does. Rank-Ready in 30: every baseline site reaches a verified 85+ on-page score within 30 days of access, or we keep working free. All of it sits under the Build-Until-It-Works umbrella.
