Services · engagement shapes

Three shapes of an engagement.

Pricing is anchored, not hidden. Engagements start at £5,000 and scale to full architectures. We charge for the install once. The value runs forever.

§ I · from £5,000 · 1–2 weeks

Diagnostic

Read your stack. Find the missing layers.

Who it’s for

Teams running automations today that feel disconnected, static, or impossible to hand off. You have tools. You need a framework.

What you get

  • Mapping session — we audit every running workflow against the Solar System framework.
  • Orbital diagram of your current state — a hairline SVG showing what exists, where the gaps are, and which layers are missing.
  • Written diagnostic (8–12 pages) — symptoms matched to missing layers, priorities ranked by compounding value.
  • Prioritised roadmap — the order to install, rebuild, or retire workflows over the next 90 days.
  • Final debrief call — walk the diagnostic with your team, answer every question.

Outcome

You leave with a framework, a diagram, and a plan. You can implement it yourself, hire us to build the next tier, or hand it to your internal team.

§ II · from £10,000 · 4–6 weeks

Planet Build

Install one compounding workflow. End to end.

Who it’s for

Teams with a specific, load-bearing workflow — lead qualification, support triage, content ops, data hygiene — that needs to run at scale without a human babysitting it.

What you get

  • Project definition — a single-file specification of what this planet exists to do.
  • Skill document — the repeatable process, written so anyone can run it.
  • Full implementation — n8n workflow, prompts, integrations, data layer, error handling, alerts.
  • Learnings file — scaffold for capturing what the system has learned each cycle.
  • Scheduled tasks — the planet stays in orbit without human intervention.
  • Handoff package — operating manual, runbook, and 30 days of live support.

Outcome

One planet in orbit. Measurable output from week one. Compounding performance curve over 90 days. Your team can operate it; we stay in the background.

Fig. III — Solar SystemEKB Labs · 2026

§ III · from £25,000 · 8–12 weeks

Solar System

The full architecture. Multiple planets in orbit.

Who it’s for

Operators committing to automation as a strategic layer — not a series of one-off tools. You want a system that gets smarter over time, connects every department, and runs without you.

What you get

  • Discovery — we spend a week inside your business defining the Sun.
  • Infrastructure design — Gravity layer architected for your stack.
  • 3–5 planets built — the workflows with the highest compounding value, installed end to end.
  • Orbital connections — data flows wired between planets; no manual transfers.
  • Accretion loops — measurement and feedback layers so every planet improves each cycle.
  • Full documentation — project definitions, skill docs, learnings files for every planet.
  • Handoff + 90-day warranty — operating manual, training, and live support through stabilisation.

Outcome

A compounding automation system that improves month over month without increasing your time investment. Installed once. Runs forever. Transferable to your team, a VA, or another operator.

§ V · Start

Every engagement begins with a diagnostic.

Whether you end up hiring us for a Planet Build, a full Solar System, or just taking the roadmap and running it internally — the diagnostic is always the first step. Book one below.
