# Pricing & Engagement

> Custom-built, continuously improved. Two ways to engage, one principle: pay for what you use.

<Note>
  **Custom-built. Continuously improved.** Two ways to engage. One commercial
  principle: pay for what you actually use.
</Note>

Build and hand off, where you own everything we ship. Or build and operate, where
we host and manage it as a SaaS for you.

## Our engagement model

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Build & hand off" icon="code">
    Our forward-deployed engineers embed with your team, ship production AI, and
    hand over the keys. You own the platform, the code, the model selection, and
    the data. Use any AI provider, swap them anytime.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Managed platform" icon="arrows-rotate">
    Want us to keep operating it after launch? Managed hosting, monitoring,
    security patching, and continuous improvement under a SaaS license.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Provider-neutral" icon="shield-halved">
    Engagements scale with the work, not a floor. Start with a pilot, expand as it
    works, pause anytime. Use any AI provider, switch anytime. No surprise
    true-ups, no fine print.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How it works

From first conversation to live platform in weeks, not quarters.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Discovery & strategy">
    We learn your business, identify opportunities, and design a transformation
    roadmap tailored to your goals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build & deploy">
    Our team designs, develops, and deploys your solution. From architecture to
    production, on your timeline.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch & handoff">
    We launch into production, train your team, and hand over the keys. You own
    it. Where you go from there is your call.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ongoing support (optional)">
    Want us to keep operating it? Opt in to managed hosting, monitoring, security
    patching, and continuous improvement under a SaaS license. Or run it yourself.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Go to market faster

Don't start from zero. Every engagement can begin on our proven platforms, so
you're live in weeks: **Ask Marcia** (AI operations), **Marcia Code** (AI tuned
to your codebase), and **MarciaOS** (the operating layer underneath everything).
