PRICING

Professional pricing tied to scope, risk and measurable value.

Star Ridge uses fixed scope engagements wherever practical. We diagnose before we build, validate before we scale, and price production work around the complexity and business value of the workflow.

Focused Automation Pilot

$7.5K–$20K
One valuable workflow

For a clearly defined workflow where a limited implementation can prove value before broader rollout.

  • Defined success criteria
  • Focused implementation
  • Human approval and exception handling
  • Audit and evaluation controls
  • Acceptance testing and results readout

Production Implementation

Starting at $25K
No artificial ceiling on complex programs

For validated workflows moving into production use.

  • Production hardening
  • Business system integrations
  • Security and operational controls
  • Deployment and adoption support
  • Scope based acceptance criteria

Managed Automation

Starting at $1.5K / month
Monitoring, optimization and controlled evolution

For organizations that want Star Ridge Systems involved after implementation.

  • Monitoring and reliability support
  • Evaluation and regression testing
  • Controlled workflow/configuration changes
  • Optimization and issue support
  • Service level defined by agreement

Ranges are planning guidance, not binding quotes. Complex integrations, regulated or privileged data, programs involving multiple workflows, custom security requirements, accelerated schedules and external licensing may increase scope and price. Star Ridge does not discount a valuable production engagement simply to fit a preset package.

HOW WE PRICE

Price follows the business case, not hours on a timesheet.

Assessment work establishes the baseline, expected capacity or revenue impact, implementation complexity and control requirements. That gives both sides a rational basis for deciding whether an implementation earns its investment.

Value at stake

How much staff capacity, delay, rework, conversion opportunity or operational risk is tied to the workflow?

Technical complexity

How many systems, interfaces, data sources, exceptions and custom components are required?

Control requirements

What security, audit, privacy, human review and professional responsibility boundaries must be engineered?

Delivery responsibility

Does Star Ridge assess, prototype, integrate, deploy, monitor, document and support the complete solution?

Why the workflow and economics come first.

The first engagement is professional engineering and business analysis work, not a sales demo. Its purpose is to determine whether the problem is valuable enough and technically appropriate enough to justify implementation, while producing useful output even if no larger project follows.

Business case

Quantify time, delay, rework, capacity and other measurable consequences.

Human boundaries

Identify which steps can be assisted and which decisions must remain with people.

Systems & security

Understand interfaces, data handling, permissions and operational constraints.

Decision ready output

Leave with a prioritized recommendation whether or not Star Ridge Systems performs the implementation.

Start by showing us one workflow.

In 20–30 minutes we can usually determine whether the workflow has enough operational and economic weight to merit deeper engineering work. Tell us where administrative work consumes skilled time; do not send confidential or privileged information through the website.
