What it costs to own your AI
A roadmap that quotes the exact build, then a brain and an agent fleet the firm owns, then light maintenance to keep it running. You pay as agents are delivered. The roadmap credits 100% into the brain setup. These are founding rates for the first ten clients; they rise after that.
The whole price sheet, at a glance
One path, the same for law and accounting: a roadmap, a brain, the agent fleet, then maintenance. The roadmap produces a fixed, scoped quote for the build. The firm owns the result. Founding rates for the first ten clients; they rise after that.
| Phase | Price | Term | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
AI Roadmap The paid diagnostic and scoped quote |
$3,500 | one-time | credited to the brain setup |
Brain setup The private brain, trained on the firm |
$15,000 | one-time | foundation for the fleet |
Agent builds A fixed, scoped quote from the roadmap |
$4,500/mo | fixed scopebilled as delivered | paid as each agent ships |
Maintenance Care, or Pro, once the builds are done |
$1,500-$2,500/mo | ongoing | hosting, retraining, support |
The firm owns the system. Roadmap $3,500 (credited) plus brain $15,000, then the fixed agent-build quote billed at $4,500/mo as agents are delivered, then $1,500/mo Care maintenance. Small lands near ~$36,000, mid ~$42,000, large ~$48,000 in the first year. Figures use the Care tier. More agents later are a new fixed build at $4,500/mo.
Roadmap, brain, fleet, then it is yours.
The same four phases for law and accounting. The roadmap returns a fixed, scoped quote: the exact agents and a fixed total, agreed up front. You pay as each agent is delivered and signed off. When the fleet is done the firm owns the system and only maintenance remains.
AI Roadmap
- ROI map ranked by hours and dollars
- Data-exposure flag: where client data leaks via ungoverned AI
- A fixed, scoped build quote: the exact agents and a fixed total, up front
Brain setup
- Trained on the firm's templates, standards, and matter history
- Local-first, anonymized before any model call, Canadian residency
- The foundation the whole agent fleet is built on; the firm owns it
roadmap credits against this
Agent builds
- The roadmap fixes the scope: which agents, what they do, the total, up front
- Billed at $4,500/mo, tied to agents delivered and signed off against an agreed standard
- Law: an agent per matter type. Accounting: the three-layer close the partner signs
paid in $4,500/mo installments, never past the total
Maintenance
- Care $1,500/mo: hosting and AI usage, retraining, accuracy monitoring, support
- Pro $2,500/mo: priority retraining, new-model upgrades, faster support
- Optional: the system can run on your infrastructure without us
Pro $2,500/mo
You pay as agents are delivered, never for vapor. When the build is done you own it, and it runs on your infrastructure without us. If Stratos ever stops, you keep the brain, the agents, and your data, with a documented handover written into the contract. Maintenance is optional and month to month. Want more capability later? That is a new fixed build, scoped from a published agent catalog.
The firm owns it, and we keep it healthy
When the agent fleet is built, the system belongs to the firm and runs on infrastructure they control. The monthly covers what the system consumes to stay reliable: hosting and AI usage, retraining as the rules change, accuracy monitoring, and support. Pick a tier, or freeze it and keep running the system as-is, yours either way. Adding agents later is a fresh fixed build, scoped from the agent catalog.
Care plan
- Hosting and AI usage covered
- Retraining as the firm and its rules change
- Accuracy monitoring against a written standard
- Support for the people using it
Pro plan
- Everything in the Care plan
- Priority retraining, scheduled ahead of Care
- New-model upgrades as better models ship
- Faster support response
The referral program
For anyone who introduces a firm that becomes a client. We take the call and the close.
Referral fee
- Paid only when an introduction becomes a paying client
- 10% of everything they pay us in their first 12 months, paid monthly as we collect
- Details and the referral form: stratosagency.ai/referrals
One model, law and accounting
- Roadmap, brain, fleet, maintenance: identical phases for both verticals
- Only the agents in Phase 3 differ by practice area
- Founding rates hold for the first ten clients, then they rise
- The roadmap always credits 100% into the brain setup
