Why publish pricing when nobody else does?

Because hidden pricing serves the seller. Our whole position is that mid-market leaders deserve straight answers about IT, and it would be strange to start with an exception for our own fees. You should be able to decide whether we are worth a conversation before you have one.

Is the fee really fixed?

Yes. We scope on seat count and complexity before the engagement, quote a single number, and that is the number. If the audit takes us longer than planned, that is our problem, not your invoice.

How does the guarantee interact with the fee?

If the audit does not identify value improvement opportunities worth at least twice the fee, we refund the fee in full. The valuation basis for every opportunity is itemised in the report so you can test the arithmetic. Full terms are published on the terms page.

What's deliberately not included?

Implementation, remediation and any technology whatsoever. We identify and evidence; you (or a provider of your choosing) implement. That separation is what keeps the findings honest, and it is contractual: we take nothing from any vendor, ever.

What about due diligence and larger environments?

Transaction due diligence and environments beyond ~250 seats are quoted individually against scope and timeline, still fixed-fee, still independent. A scoping call settles it in thirty minutes.

Pricing

The price is on the website.

Radical in this industry, apparently. The 4-Week Commercial IT Health Check is a fixed fee scoped on seat count and complexity, guaranteed to identify value worth at least twice what you pay, or you don't pay.

Focused Review

$8,000

Up to ~75 seats, single site, standard complexity

The full methodology scoped to a smaller environment. Same deliverables, same guarantee.

Sample pricing by business size

Indicative, because the fixed quote is set at scoping, but these are honest shapes for typical environments:

Scenario	Shape	Typical fee
60-seat professional services firm	Single site, one MSP, standard SaaS stack	$8,000-$9,000
120-seat business, two sites	MSP plus internal IT, mixed cloud, board reporting required	$10,000-$12,000
200-seat regulated organisation	Multi-entity, compliance obligations, multiple providers	$13,000-$15,000
M&A due diligence	Scoped to the transaction and exclusivity window	Quoted per deal

What moves the price

Seat and site count

More users, locations and entities mean more contracts, licences and systems to test.

Provider complexity

One MSP is simpler to benchmark than four vendors and an internal team sharing responsibility.

Compliance scope

Regulated sectors add framework mapping (Essential Eight targets, APRA, Privacy Act depth).

Timeline

The four-week cycle is standard; deal-driven or board-deadline compression is quoted honestly.

Cost versus value, plainly

The engagement fee is $8,000-$15,000. The guarantee floor is value identified worth twice that, or the fee is refunded. For context against the alternatives: a Big Four technology assessment starts around $300,000 and runs months; an MSP's "free" assessment is priced into the remediation it recommends; and doing nothing costs whatever your unbenchmarked contracts are quietly compounding at, which in two decades of reviews has reliably been the most expensive option in the list.
