PRICING
Choose the right level of technical leadership and delivery.
Have a defined workflow bottleneck? Start with the free Workflow Audit. Bringing a broader business problem, product idea, or growth opportunity? Start with a Strategy Call.
Two ways to start
Free Workflow Audit
For a defined workflow bottleneck.
- A focused review of the current workflow
- The strongest improvement opportunity
- A short recorded assessment within 48 hours
- A recommended next step
The audit does not include detailed architecture or a complete implementation plan.
Strategy Call
For a broader business problem, product idea, or growth opportunity.
Direct discussion of the business problem, desired outcome, blockers, and possible delivery path.
Neither entry path is a paid plan, and the audit is not a prerequisite for a Strategy Call or any paid engagement.
Four ways to work together
Primary ongoing engagement
Embedded Partnership
- Investment
- $2,500–$4,000/week or $8,000–$12,800/month
- Best fit
- Ongoing technical leadership and hands-on delivery.
Enterprise Pipelines
- Investment
- Custom quote, typically from $20,000/month
- Best fit
- Complex multi-system initiatives.
Fractional Support & Monitoring
- Investment
- Typically starts at $1,500/week
- Best fit
- Established systems needing oversight and incremental improvement.
Premium 1:1 Intensive
- Investment
- $5,000 for 30 hours over two weeks
- Best fit
- Client-owned implementation with personalized teaching and guidance.
Primary ongoing engagement
Embedded Partnership
Direct technical leadership, reserved engineering capacity, and hands-on delivery across automations, custom business solutions, integrations, and SaaS products.
A single bounded build can also be scoped through an Embedded Partnership.
$8,000–$12,800/month
Monthly partnerships may save up to 20% compared with equivalent week-to-week delivery.
The comparison is against the same scope at the corresponding four-week weekly price; it is not a guaranteed discount for every agreement.
Final capacity, scope, payment schedule, and term are stated in the proposal.
What’s included
- Product priorities, architecture, and delivery planning.
- Senior implementation for workflows, software, integrations, or a scoped MVP.
- Build, validation, launch, and iteration.
- Direct access to the technical people responsible for delivery.
- Continuing improvement as the system and business requirements evolve.
Enterprise Pipelines
Custom quote, typically from $20,000/month
A custom-quoted, phased engagement for complex, business-critical, multi-system work.
Typically from $20,000/month — an indication, not a fixed package. The proposal sets the phases, scope, and commercial terms.
What’s included
- Architecture across departments, data flows, and operating processes.
- Orchestration between systems such as CRM, documents, billing, and internal operations.
- Custom middleware where ordinary connectors cannot handle the logic.
- Infrastructure, governance, security, and reliability appropriate to the actual scope.
- Phased build, validation, launch, and stakeholder coordination.
Fractional Support & Monitoring
Typically starts at $1,500/week
Technical oversight for established systems, typically starting at $1,500/week.
What’s included
- Monitoring of workflows and integrations and investigation of failures.
- API, authentication, and configuration maintenance.
- Troubleshooting, recovery, bug fixes, and routine reliability improvements.
- Technical health updates and small optimization recommendations.
Major new workflows and substantial product development need an Embedded Partnership or an appropriately scoped Enterprise phase. A third-party system may need review and onboarding first.
Premium 1:1 Intensive
$5,000 for 30 hours over two weeks
A customized training and build-guidance engagement: $5,000, 30 hours over two weeks.
What’s included
- A personalized plan based on your project, level, and goals.
- Architecture, integration, tool, and platform guidance.
- Implementation walkthroughs, coding or automation coaching, and debugging.
- Code or infrastructure review and practical knowledge transfer.
You build and own the implementation; Valo Studio AI guides and reviews. Any extension is scoped separately.
Choosing the right path
Defined manual workflow bottleneck
Broader business problem, software idea, or growth opportunity
Ongoing build and technical leadership
Embedded PartnershipComplex, cross-system transformation
Enterprise PipelinesExisting system needing reliability and small improvements
Fractional Support & MonitoringClient team wants to learn and build itself
Premium 1:1 Intensive
- A single bounded build may be scoped through an Embedded Partnership.
- Optional, separately scoped technical planning applies only when complexity prevents a responsible delivery scope.

- Every paid engagement defines responsibilities, scope, commercial terms, and client participation before it begins.
Choose your next step
FOR A BUSINESS PROBLEM, PRODUCT IDEA, OR GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
Bring the operational challenge, stalled software idea, or opportunity holding your business back. We’ll start with the business outcome, uncover what is blocking it, and identify the right technical path to move forward.
