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.
Pricing
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.

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
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
Source hierarchy, claim validation, timeline reconstruction, contradiction review, or evidentiary presentation where the distinction between proof and repetition matters.
Starting at
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
Custom internal tools, portals, workflow systems, operational software, and integrated digital infrastructure where generic software no longer fits the real work.
Starting at
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
External costs
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
Structured intake establishes the decision, evidence, constraints, dependencies, and acceptance conditions before a final scope is proposed.
