Three ways to work with Altus Initiatives.

Every engagement is scoped to your situation. Most start with the Audit — and the audit fee is credited in full toward whatever you build next.

AI Readiness Audit

$750–$2,000 · 3–5 business days

A structured review that maps your current workflows, identifies your highest-ROI automation opportunities, and delivers a prioritized action plan with real numbers attached. You leave with a clear picture of what to build, in what order, and what it's worth.

Included

  • Discovery interview and current-state process mapping
  • Automation opportunity analysis with ROI estimates
  • Prioritized recommendation report (top 3 opportunities in detail)
  • Quick-wins section — opportunities actionable immediately
  • 30-minute findings presentation and Q&A

Best for: Agencies that know they're leaving time and revenue on the table but are unsure which process to fix first — or teams that have tried automation tools before without lasting results.

The audit fee is credited in full toward any subsequent implementation project.

AI Workflow Automation

$3,000–$10,000 · 2–4 weeks

A custom-built automation that takes a specific, high-cost manual process off your team's plate permanently. Built around your existing tools and engineered to handle errors, edge cases, and real-world variability — not just the happy path. Once it's live, the work happens without anyone touching it.

Included

  • Solution architecture and workflow design
  • Build and integration across your existing tools
  • Testing, error handling, and documentation
  • 30-day post-launch support

Best for: Agencies with a clear operational bottleneck they're ready to solve — a specific workflow breaking under volume, costing hours every week, or creating inconsistent client experiences.

AI Agent Implementation

$8,000–$25,000 · 4–8 weeks

A custom AI agent built around your business data, designed to operate inside your workflows like a knowledgeable team member — one that reads context, makes judgment calls, and handles variability without escalating every edge case to a human. Extends your team's capacity without extending headcount.

Included

  • Agent architecture and knowledge base setup
  • Tool integrations and memory configuration
  • Full test suite and quality validation
  • Complete documentation and team handover
  • 60-day post-launch support

Best for: Agencies that need more than triggers and actions — where the automation has to read context, make judgment calls, and handle variability the way a trained team member would. Ideal for client-facing and knowledge-intensive workflows.

Ongoing

Keep it running, and improving.

Once a system is live, Altus stays engaged to keep it running, improving, and aligned with how your business evolves. Offered at two tiers — proposed at project close, beginning the month after delivery.

Maintenance Retainer

$1,000 / month

For agencies with a deployed system who want ongoing reliability and a dedicated point of contact without having to manage it themselves.

Included

  • Monthly system health check
  • Bug fixes and error resolution
  • Platform and integration updates (Make.com, n8n, API changes)
  • Monthly 30-minute check-in call
  • Issue response within 24 business hours

Growth Retainer

$2,500 / month

For agencies who want their system actively maintained and continuously improved — with a strategic partner thinking ahead on their behalf.

Included

  • Everything in Maintenance
  • Up to 4 hours of enhancement work per month
  • Monthly performance report (executions, errors, cost tracking)
  • Quarterly strategy session (60 min) — identify the next automation opportunity
  • Priority issue response within 4 business hours

How it works

How engagements progress.

Every engagement follows the same path — and each stage is available on its own. You can stop, build internally, or re-enter at any point.

  • Discovery Call — a clear read on fit and where to start
  • AI Readiness Audit — a prioritized, ROI-ranked roadmap
  • Scoping & Proposal — a signed engagement contract
  • Build & Integration — the system built into your existing tools
  • Testing & Review — tested against real conditions, reviewed before go-live
  • Handover & Go-Live — documentation, team walkthrough, live system
  • Retainer (optional) — continued monitoring and improvement

How pricing works

  • Fixed price against a defined scope — never billed hourly
  • The audit fee is credited in full toward implementation
  • Proposals are valid for 30 days from the date of issue
  • Retainers are proposed at project close and begin the month after delivery

Not sure which fits your agency?

That's what the discovery call is for — 30 minutes to understand where your team is losing time and what the right starting point looks like. No pitch, no commitment.
