What moves the number

Six factors that shape the final quote.

The starting prices above are floors. Here’s what can push a quote higher — and what you can do to keep it lean.

Data readiness

Clean, well-labelled, accessible data is the single biggest lever. If we’re building pipelines, annotating samples, or wrestling with legacy formats, scope expands.

+ 10–40% if heavy data work required

Number of systems

One system to integrate is straightforward. Three legacy systems with bespoke APIs, auth models, and rate limits is a different animal.

+ 15–30% per additional system

Regulatory scope

Regulated data — CBK, IRA, ODPC, HIPAA-equivalent — means explicit risk assessments, audit trails, and sometimes external review. We build it in properly.

+ 10–25% for regulated workloads

On-prem / air-gapped

Cloud-native deployments are fastest. On-prem, hybrid, or fully air-gapped deployments require additional infrastructure and packaging work.

+ 15–35% for on-prem

Throughput & latency SLAs

Standard throughput is included. Hard sub-second latency, or thousands of QPS, means we’re into serving infrastructure, autoscaling, and caching strategy.

+ 10–20% for tight SLAs

Governance maturity

Teams with existing MLOps, data governance, and observability platforms are faster. Greenfield setups include foundational build.

How you can pay

Four payment methods. KES or USD.

Paystack

Card or M-Pesa. Instant receipt. KES or USD. Best for audit and first milestones.

Bank transfer (KES)

KCB, Equity, or Stanbic. Invoice with bank details provided inside 24 hours. Most common for enterprise.

USD wire

SWIFT / correspondent banking. For international clients or USD-denominated contracts. Expect 1–2 day settlement.

Payment plans

Milestone-based for integration and quarterly for transformation. Audit is a fixed 50/50 split.

Pricing questions

The common questions we hear.

All quoted prices are net of VAT. For Kenyan clients, VAT at 16% applies. For international clients, we follow standard export-of-services rules and typically invoice VAT-exclusive.

Audits are always fixed-price. Integrations are fixed-price on milestones, with a transparent change-control process if scope shifts materially. Transformation programmes are priced quarterly against a committed squad.

For audits: if you’re not satisfied with the deliverables inside 14 days of the readout, we refund in full. For integrations: milestone-based, each gate requires sign-off before the next kicks off. We’ve never had a client use this clause, but it’s there.

Change requests get written up, scoped, priced, and added as a separate line item. You approve before we touch anything. No silent scope creep.

Yes. 100% of the audit fee is credited against the first invoice of a follow-on integration or transformation engagement started within 90 days of the readout.

Rarely. For early-stage partners where the economics make sense and the engagement is strategic, we’ve done hybrid cash + equity. Default is cash.

Audit kick-offs inside 2 weeks is typical. Integration kick-offs depend on data access and security clearance; 3–4 weeks from contract signature is common. Transformation programmes are scoped and launched over 4–6 weeks.

You do. All custom code, models, datasets, and documentation produced during the engagement are assigned to you on payment. We retain rights to generic, non-project-specific methodology and tooling.
