Two operational plates joined by a glowing blue ribbon — the partner-style handoff between a customer operation and the Sticklebrick AI module.
— Engagements
Sized, scoped, defendable

Honest shapes. No surprises.

We are a consultancy — not a SaaS company — so we don’t price per seat or per month. We price each engagement by what we actually do: a free audit to start, a fixed-scope pilot, the integration, the training, and a light-touch roadmap retainer if you want one. Every quote written before any work begins. Every shape defendable to your board.


— 01 / Shapes Four ways we engage

Pick the shape. We’ll quote the work.

$—01

Free audit

The Data Readiness Score — 10 minutes online, 24-hour custom report. Or a half-day on-site audit, written report, prioritised pilot list.

Free · Half-day on-site: included in any subsequent engagement
$—02

Pilot

Six weeks, one workflow, one AI partner. Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Pre-defined success criteria. If we miss them, we say so.

From £18,000 + partner usage costs at upstream rates
$—03

Integrate + Train

Hardened integration into your live systems. Runbooks, training, handover to your team. Scope-priced once the pilot is in.

Scope-priced · Typically £20,000–£60,000
$—04

Roadmap retainer

Light-touch monthly check-in. Next brick scoped on demand. Cancel any time. For the year after we’ve handed it back.

From £2,500 / month · Cancel any time

Numbers above are typical ranges. Every engagement quoted in writing before any work begins.

— 02 / Free audit Data Readiness Score

Ten minutes. Twenty-four hour turnaround.

A 10-minute self-assessment for trade distributors, service contractors and operational businesses. We map your data sources, score your connection maturity, and send a custom report showing:

  • 02 Three to five workflows where AI could earn its keep first.
  • 03 Where you’d be wasting your money — said plainly.
  • 04 An indicative integration order, written for whoever owns IT.

— 03 / The call Twenty minutes · No deck

We add the AI bricks. You keep the building.

Talk to the Sticklebrick team about your business. Twenty minutes. No deck. We’ll tell you straight whether we can help — and if we can’t, where you’d better spend the budget.

What we’ll ask

The shape of the business. The systems you already run. The board’s priority for the next twelve months. And one specific workflow that’s costing you sleep.

What you’ll get

A direct read on whether AI is the right brick for your next move, which trusted partner we’d use to build it, and what a sensible six-week pilot would look like — or whether you should spend the money on something else entirely.

What we won’t do

Open a deck. Sell you a platform. Talk to anyone’s buyer journey. Or pitch a "discovery phase" we’ll then live inside for six months.

Book a 20-minute call

Tell us about your business.

We’ll reply within one working day. We don’t add you to anything.
