Pricing

Clear starting points without pretending complex work is interchangeable.

Stevie Belfiore uses published starting points to reduce ambiguity before intake. Final pricing follows the evidence, scope, risk, dependencies, and acceptance conditions of the actual engagement.

Pricing philosophy

Clarity without commodity pricing.

A focused audit is not a multi-system governance engagement. A local implementation is not an enterprise platform build. Pricing should make those differences visible without forcing a sales call just to learn the order of magnitude.

Starting at

$2,500

Focused Systems Audit

A bounded independent review with defined scope, evidence register, material findings, limitations, and a recommended path forward. Broader enterprise audits are scoped separately.

Starting at

$7,500

AI & Enterprise Governance

Governance-first review of AI-enabled systems, provider exposure, controls, monitoring, accountability, release boundaries, and auditability. Regulated or multi-system engagements are quoted to scope.

Starting at

$2,000

Evidence & Information Integrity

Source hierarchy, claim validation, timeline reconstruction, contradiction review, or evidentiary presentation where the distinction between proof and repetition matters.

Starting at

$4,500

Lotus Local Launch

Structured local-business implementation beginning with complete intake and defined launch scope. Industry-specific Studio tooling, advanced integrations, and expanded operational modules affect final scope.

Starting at

$8,500

Custom Systems & Digital Infrastructure

Custom internal tools, portals, workflow systems, operational software, and integrated digital infrastructure where generic software no longer fits the real work.

Starting at

$750

Strategic Consulting

Focused analysis and decision support when the highest-value next step is classification, prioritization, architecture, or independent technical judgment rather than immediate implementation.

What changes scope

The price moves when the responsibility moves.

  • Evidence volume and access boundaries.
  • Number of systems, workflows, or teams involved.
  • Security, compliance, safety, or governance requirements.
  • Integration depth and external-provider dependencies.
  • Whether the engagement ends at analysis or includes implementation and validation.

External costs

Third-party services remain visible and client-controlled.

Domains, hosting, payment-processing fees, platform subscriptions, API usage, hardware, and provider charges are not quietly folded into a vague margin. They remain the client's responsibility unless a written scope says otherwise.

Mission-aligned pilots, community revitalization work, and founding-design-partner engagements may use separate written terms and should not be treated as the standard commercial rate.

Next step

Good pricing starts with a correctly classified problem.

Structured intake establishes the decision, evidence, constraints, dependencies, and acceptance conditions before a final scope is proposed.
