Compute Units, not seat licences

A Compute Unit is a measure of capacity. You buy as many as your workload needs, and you can add one later without changing anything else.

2 Compute Units6 to 8 at the same moment $990
3 Compute Units9 to 12 at the same moment $1,485

$195 one-time onboarding  ·  12-month term  ·  no hardware to buy or lease  ·  support included

We size by concurrent use, not by headcount. What matters is how many of your people are working in it at the same moment, and how hard they work it. A 40-person firm with a dozen heavy users needs more capacity than a 40-person firm with three occasional ones. We work that out with you before quoting.

What the monthly fee covers

Hardware that is yours

A server assigned to your business alone, in our Portland data center. Not shared, not pooled, not a slice of someone else's machine.

Your documents, read privately

Upload what you like and ask questions of it. Contracts, policies, reports, correspondence. Nothing is used to train anyone's AI.

Two ways to process

In-house only, where nothing leaves your environment — or extended through our managed gateway to a frontier model, deleted within 30 days. You choose, job by job.

Virtual CFO analysis

Connect QuickBooks Online or NetSuite and get variance analysis, cash position, AR and AP aging, and monthly commentary you would otherwise pay for.

A written AI policy

A short, plain-language policy for your staff so people know what belongs where. Included, not an extra.

Local support

Hardware, hosting, updates, monitoring, backup and support — all from our own Portland, Oregon team. Not offshore, not a call center queue.

Pricing questions

Straight answers

What is a Compute Unit?

A Compute Unit is a measure of dedicated capacity, not a seat licence. One unit comfortably supports three to four people working at the same moment. You buy as many units as your workload needs, and you can add one later without changing anything else.

Why do you size by concurrent use instead of headcount?

Because that is what actually determines the experience. A 40-person firm with a dozen heavy users needs more capacity than a 40-person firm with three occasional ones. We work out your real usage pattern with you before quoting anything.

Is there hardware to buy?

No. The dedicated server lives in our Portland data center. You pay the monthly fee and the one-time onboarding, and everything else is on us.

What does onboarding include?

Setting up your dedicated environment, secure access for your users, connecting QuickBooks Online or NetSuite if you use the financial analysis, and a working session so your team starts with real work rather than a blank screen.

What is the term?

Twelve months. If it is not delivering, we would rather fix it or part ways than hold you to paper — talk to us.

Thirty minutes, on your schedule. We will run a real analysis in front of you — on a sample of your own data if you are comfortable, or on ours if you would rather — and show you exactly where that data goes at each step. Nothing to prepare on your side.
