Fit review
A short conversation establishes the problem, people, systems, urgency, and whether VBoarder is the right kind of help. No implementation promise is made here.
Project-based by default
We build it, document it, train your team, and leave.
VBoarder engagements are priced around a defined operating outcome, scope, controls, and handoff—not a seat count or an open-ended monthly promise.
Pricing integrity: a public “starting at” number would be fiction before we know the workflow, systems, data, interfaces, and acceptance bar. You receive a written scope before work begins.
Commercial model
Three gates before a build.
Each gate can stop the work. That protects the buyer from funding complexity the business does not need.
Paid discovery when needed
For unclear or multi-system work, discovery produces the current-state map, target workflow, risks, options, acceptance criteria, and build recommendation.
Scoped implementation
The approved build defines deliverables, exclusions, customer responsibilities, third-party costs, test plan, documentation, training, and handoff.
What the quote separates
Build cost is not the same as run cost.
VBoarder professional services
Discovery, design, implementation, testing, documentation, training, and the agreed handoff artifacts.
Third-party software and infrastructure
Hosting, databases, phone, models, automation tools, storage, security, and other vendor costs shown separately.
Customer responsibilities
Access, subject-matter review, approvals, data authorization, testing participation, and named system ownership.
Optional follow-on work
New workflows, support, or improvement work can be scoped later. It is not required to keep the delivered system hostage.
Fit filter
When a project makes sense.
A clear no is more useful than an expensive maybe.
| Good fit | Probably not yet |
|---|---|
| A repeated workflow with a visible business consequence | A general desire to “add AI” without a defined task |
| An owner or operator willing to show the real work | No access to the people or records that define the process |
| A named person who will own the system after handoff | A system nobody inside the business is expected to own |
| Acceptance criteria that can be tested | A promise of transformation with no observable done condition |
