The engagement, phase by phase — priced up front
Every phase is a fixed-price work package with named deliverables — you always know what you're buying and what comes next. Designed for Australian organisations of 50–200 people. Indicative · AUD · ex-GST.
From readiness to live, monitored AI in 7–13 weeks
Phase 01 stands alone — take it, act on the roadmap yourself, or continue with us and have its fee credited against the programme. Each phase is described in full on its own page under solutions.
AI readiness & gap assessment
A benchmarked diagnostic of your environment, data governance, security posture and responsible-AI maturity. It produces a score out of 100 against the Keelix AI Readiness Benchmark — six weighted domains scored against evidence rather than opinion — together with a documented gap analysis and a prioritised roadmap. It is standalone by design: you can act on the roadmap with your own team and never speak to us again. The benchmark is a Keelix measurement instrument, not a certification.
What this phase delivers →Remediation & environment readiness
We close the gaps your readiness assessment found — identity and access, data governance, oversharing controls, security posture — and establish an AI governance framework aligned to ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, so nothing ships into an ungoverned environment. Scope, price and duration all come from your assessment findings, which is why this engagement cannot honestly be quoted before one exists.
What this phase delivers →AI deployment & agent build
Rollout of the enterprise AI capability chosen in your strategy work — Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot or another enterprise stack — followed by agents built on your most manual-heavy processes: document assembly, compliance packs, claims handling, client communications. Every agent ships human-in-the-loop, audit-trailed, and measured against the labour hours or cycle time it removes. Delivery runs in process waves: one process per wave, live and measured before the next begins.
What this phase delivers →Enablement & trainingNot yet available
Standardised playbooks and hands-on labs that teach your people to use AI responsibly, build simple agents themselves, and — the part nearly everyone skips — review agent output for reliability. Role-based rather than one-size-fits-all: one track for everyday users, one for the people who will build, and one for the reviewers who sign off on what an agent produced.
What this phase delivers →Managed AI governance & agent careNot yet available
The durable layer after go-live: ongoing review of agent output, governance and responsible-AI check-ins, performance tuning as your processes drift, and new agent builds as needs emerge. It exists because the failure mode of a deployed agent is rarely a crash — it is a slow decline nobody is watching for.
What this phase delivers →What the programme figure leaves out. It covers only what you can book today, so Enablement & training (phase 04, fixed price, from 2027) and Managed AI governance & agent care (phase 05, per month, from 2027) are excluded. Their bands above are indicative only, and each is quoted on its own basis — a monthly rate is not a programme fee. Deployment includes the handover training and run-book needed to operate what we build.
All price bands on this site are indicative ranges in AUD, ex-GST. The final fixed price is quoted per engagement once scope is agreed. Software licences (Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot or another enterprise stack) are client-owned and passed through at vendor pricing — never bundled into our fee.
How we work
Fixed price, not day rates. You get budget certainty; we get rewarded for efficiency, not elapsed time. Incentives pointed the same direction.
Value over effort. Every agent is framed against the labour hours or cycle time it removes — if we can't state the value, we don't build it.
Governance before go-live. The ISO 27001- and 42001-aligned framework is established in Phase 02, so nothing ships into an ungoverned environment.
Licences stay yours. Claude or Microsoft 365 Copilot seats are a client-owned pass-through, kept separate from our fee — so our platform advice stays honest.
Monitored, always. Agents degrade as businesses change. Ours ship with monitoring and output review, and an evaluation set your own team can re-run after any change.
Phase 01 is the low-risk way in
2–3 weeks, fixed price, standalone — and fully creditable if you continue. Ask us for the assessment scope.
