Pricing
Start with Assessment when Azure or AI work needs a clear view of risks, owners, scope, and the actions to approve. Move into Blueprint, Build, Architecture Office, or Governance when the work is ready for deeper support.
Service Pricing
Use Assessment when the current state is unclear. Use Blueprint or Build when the goal is approved and the work needs architecture, scope, or delivery support. Use Architecture Office or Governance when decisions need regular review.
Use this when Azure or AI work needs risks, owners, priorities, and a 90 day action plan.
$15K to $35K
2 to 3 weeks
Teams with rising Azure spend, unclear ownership, landing zone drift, AI readiness questions, security architecture concerns, or implementation work that needs approval.
Book Azure Architecture AssessmentUse this when the goal is approved and the work needs architecture, implementation scope, or delivery support.
$35K to $85K
3 to 6 weeks
Teams with an approved goal that still need architecture, integration, security, cost, and delivery scope before implementation begins.
Discuss Blueprint Sprint$75K to $250K
8 to 16 weeks
Teams with approved scope that need infrastructure, pipelines, integrations, controls, monitoring, documentation, and handoff.
Scope Pilot to Production BuildUse this when production AI or Azure work needs regular review of architecture, cost, risk, controls, and roadmap changes.
$12K to $35K per month
6 to 12 months
Teams that need senior architecture guidance for recurring roadmap, vendor, platform, Azure, AI, and delivery decisions.

|---|---|---|---|
Use When | The team needs risks, owners, priorities, and a 90 day action plan before approving more work. | The goal is approved and the work needs target architecture, implementation scope, or delivery support. | Production AI or Azure work needs regular review of architecture, cost, risk, controls, and roadmap changes. |
Decision | Confirm the goal, owner, constraints, risks, success criteria, and recommended action. | Turn the approved objective into architecture, backlog, delivery sequence, or implementation. | Keep roadmap, budget, vendor, risk, and operating decisions tied to business priorities. |
Primary Output | Current state findings, owner map, risk register, use case ranking, and 90 day action plan. | Target architecture, implementation scope, production change, and delivery handoff. | Architecture review, decision support, governance review, KPI reporting, and roadmap updates. |
How It Works | Assess current state, prioritize blockers, and recommend what to fund, fix, defer, or govern. | Design, sequence, build, test, document, and hand off the approved work. | Review decisions, cost, controls, roadmap, delivery risk, and operating evidence on a regular schedule. |
Implementation | No build implementation unless a separate engagement is approved. | Implementation support is included when the selected offer includes build delivery. | Architecture Office guidance, governance support, and decision review. Delivery work is scoped separately. |

FAQ
Most assessments are $15K to $35K based on initiative scope, owner count, data and cloud complexity, production risk, and required outputs.
Most teams start with Azure Architecture Assessment when risks, owners, scope, or approvals are unclear. If architecture is already approved, Blueprint or Build may be the better starting point.
It includes team intake, current state review, architecture findings, risk register, use case prioritization, target recommendations, and a 90 day action plan.
Use Blueprint when the goal is approved but target architecture, security model, integration plan, cost model, backlog, and implementation SOW still need approval.
Yes, when the scope is approved. Pilot to Production Build covers implementation, controls, monitoring, documentation, training, and handoff under a separate SOW.
Price changes based on initiative scope, systems involved, Azure complexity, AI risk, owner count, regulatory pressure, implementation depth, and required outputs.
