Pricing

Clear scope. Clear price. No mystery proposal.

Fox & Loom is a consulting and implementation company. The prices below are fixed, so you don't have to request a mysterious custom quote to know what things cost.

Start with understanding.

Before recommending that anything be built, we need to understand what's actually happening.

Company AI Readiness & Opportunity Assessment

A full-company assessment of how ready your organization is for AI and automation—and what may be worth pursuing.

Both are full-company assessments. The difference is depth and complexity, not company size.

Two engagement levels.

Every dimension below is covered by both levels. The only difference is depth and breadth.

Assessment engagement levels — Standard and Comprehensive
	Standard	Comprehensive
Price	$1,480	$3,480
Entire company	✓	✓
Operating environment	✓	✓
Workflow investigation	✓	✓
Systems review	✓	✓
Data readiness	✓	✓
People & process	✓	✓
Business value	✓	✓
Risk	✓	✓
Opportunity analysis	✓	✓
Prioritization	✓	✓
Depth / breadth	Standard	Expanded

What's the difference?

Both options assess the entire company. The difference is the depth, breadth, and complexity of the assessment work required. We determine the appropriate level based on your operating environment—not simply your employee count.

Standard

$1,480

Best when the company has a relatively straightforward operating environment, a manageable number of core workflows and systems, and limited organizational complexity.

Comprehensive

$3,480

Best when the company has more complex or interconnected workflows, multiple operational areas, more systems/data dependencies, multiple locations, or greater organizational complexity requiring additional investigation.

Talk About an Assessment

Decide to build? 50% of your assessment fee is credited toward implementation.

If you proceed with an implementation package within the defined period, 50% of your assessment fee is applied toward the implementation.

If it's worth building, we build it.

Implementation is priced around the scope and outcome of the work—not an arbitrary number of systems or AI agents.

Talk About an Operations Network

What determines the tier?

Not the number of AI agents.
Not the number of software subscriptions.
Not the number of API calls.

We scope the work around the business outcome and workflow complexity.

A workflow is a repeatable business process that starts with a trigger and produces a defined outcome.

When an estimate is sent, follow up with the customer until they respond or the opportunity is closed.
When a job is completed, send the appropriate invoice and initiate the customer payment follow-up process.

What every implementation includes.

Design
We define how the workflow should work.
Integration
We connect the systems required for the workflow.
Build
We implement the appropriate AI and/or deterministic automation.
Testing
We test the workflow before deployment.
Deployment
We put it into operation.
Documentation & Training
Your team knows how it works and how to use it.
Operations Diagnostic
You receive the diagnostic artifact documenting the delivered system.
60-Day Deployment Assurance
We stand behind the deployed workflow for the defined assurance period.

How we define scope.

The tier names alone aren't enough. Here's exactly what we mean by the words we use, so you can tell which tier fits your project without speaking to anyone.

What do we mean by "workflow"?: A workflow is a repeatable business process that starts with a trigger and produces a defined outcome.
What is a system?: A system is a software platform or service that participates in the workflow.
What is an integration?: An integration is the connection that allows the workflow to exchange information with another system.
What is an agent?: An agent is an AI/software component that performs reasoning or actions within a workflow. Not every workflow requires an AI agent.

What each tier really means.

Single Workflow · $7,480

Example

Estimate Follow-Up

01Estimate sent
02Customer receives follow-up
03Follow-up occurs according to defined rules
04Customer responds / declines / books / opportunity closes

That is one workflow, even if it touches CRM, email, SMS, calendar, and AI reasoning.

Other examples

Missed-call recovery · Estimate follow-up · Appointment reminders · Customer review requests · Invoice reminders

One workflow does not mean one software system. A Single Workflow can connect to multiple systems when those systems are necessary to accomplish the defined business outcome.

Connected Operations · $14,850

Lead → Estimate → Follow-Up → Booking

Workflow 1: Lead captured
Workflow 2: Estimate created/sent
Workflow 3: Follow-up initiated
Workflow 4: Customer books

Because these workflows are directly connected and form one operational chain, they can be treated as Connected Operations.

Completed Job → Invoice → Payment Follow-Up → Customer Communication

Again, multiple related workflows operating together.

What does “Orchestration” mean?: Coordinating multiple workflows or system actions so they operate together in the correct sequence. For example: lead created → estimate generated → estimate sent → follow-up begins → customer responds → booking workflow starts. The system coordinates the transitions rather than treating each automation as an isolated process.
What does “State management” mean?: Keeping track of where something currently is in a workflow. For example, a customer might be: Estimate Sent → Follow-Up 1 → Follow-Up 2 → Responded → Booked. The system needs to know the current state so it doesn't send the wrong message or repeat an action.

Connected Operations is about relatedness, not simply counting workflows. There is no rule such as 'three workflows equals Connected Operations.' The determining question is: are these workflows tightly connected and being designed as one operational system?

Operations Network · $24,800+

Example

Sales + Estimating + Dispatch + Customer Communication + Accounting

01Sales — lead capture and qualification
02Estimating — estimate creation and follow-up
03Dispatch — scheduling and job coordination
04Customer Communication — reminders, updates, follow-up
05Accounting — invoice and payment workflows

That is an Operations Network because multiple operational areas are connected.

What does “Multi-location” mean?: A workflow operating across multiple branches, offices, stores, service areas, or other distinct operating locations—for example, one workflow architecture supporting 20 service locations. Multi-location support does not automatically mean Operations Network; it is one factor considered when determining scope.
What does “Multiple agents” mean?: Multiple AI/software components performing different reasoning or action responsibilities within the broader operational system. Agents are not the unit of pricing—the business scope and complexity determine the tier.

The '+' applies when a project materially exceeds standard Operations Network scope. It is not an excuse for arbitrary pricing.

Which one is right for me?

Single Workflow
You have:
One defined business process you want to improve.
"We want to automate estimate follow-up."
Connected Operations
You have:
Several related processes that need to work together.
"We want to connect our lead, estimating, follow-up, and booking processes."
Operations Network
You have:
Multiple operational areas that need to work together.
"We want to connect sales, estimating, dispatch, customer communication, and accounting."

We don't price by the number of AI agents.

You shouldn't have to count agents to understand what you're buying.

We price based on:

Business outcome
Workflow scope
Operational relationships
Systems involved
Integration requirements
Complexity
Risk

A simple comparison.

These are scope categories, not a feature-counting system. Nothing here is a hard numerical limit.

Implementation tier comparison
	Single Workflow	Connected Operations	Operations Network
Defined workflows	One	Multiple related	Multiple
Business area	One	One or closely related	Multiple
Systems	As required	Multiple as required	Multiple / interconnected
Integrations	Required for workflow	Multiple as required	Multiple / interconnected
Orchestration	Simple	Yes	Complex
State management	When required	When required	As required
AI agents	When appropriate	When appropriate	Multiple when appropriate
Locations	Standard	Standard	Multi-location where applicable
Price	$7,480	$14,850	$24,800+

What happens if the project changes?

The price covers the agreed scope. New workflows, new integrations, unrelated business processes, or substantial changes to the agreed outcome are new scope.

Can you also automate invoice reminders?: If the original project was estimate follow-up, that is a new workflow.
Can you also connect our new inventory system?: That is a new integration if it wasn't part of the agreed implementation.
Can you redesign this completely different business process?: That is new scope.

We'd rather tell you not to build it.

Our job isn't to convince you that you need AI. If the evidence doesn't support an implementation, we'll tell you. If the problem is better solved through a process change, a simpler automation, better data, or nothing at all, that's a valid outcome.

Pricing FAQ.

Is the assessment required?: The assessment is the normal path when an opportunity needs investigation before implementation. Its purpose is to reduce uncertainty and determine what is actually worth building. It isn't a legal requirement, and it isn't universally mandatory—but when there's real uncertainty, it's how we avoid building the wrong thing.
Is implementation fixed price?: Yes. Implementation packages are defined around scope and outcome.
What if my project doesn't fit one of the tiers?: The Operations Network tier is designed for greater complexity. If the scope genuinely falls outside the standard packages, we'll discuss the engagement directly rather than pretending a standard tier applies. We won't slap a generic "custom pricing" label on everything.
What happens if you decide AI isn't the answer?: That's okay. The assessment is intended to help determine whether pursuing the opportunity makes sense. Sometimes the right answer is a process change, a simpler automation, better data, or nothing at all.
What happens after implementation?: Testing, deployment, documentation, training, the Operations Diagnostic, and 60-Day Deployment Assurance are all included in the implementation packages.
Does the assessment fee apply to implementation?: Yes. 50% of the assessment fee is credited toward implementation if you proceed within the defined period.
