Before you book
What operations leaders ask first.
Do you need live IT or SCADA network access just to start?
No. Most engagements begin with our $2,500 CAD Sample-Data Proof using static exported files—such as 30 days of historian CSVs, 50 anonymized tickets, or 25 field/lab PDFs. That proves value on your real data in 10 business days without waiting months on corporate IT or OT firewall approvals.
Do you work with our existing systems?
Yes. Our work connects what your teams already run (historians, SCADA exports, CMMS, ticketing, dispatch tools and spreadsheets) rather than selling a new software subscription or forcing a rip-and-replace.
Do we get a working fix, or just a consulting report?
Both. Even Step 01 delivers a working validation or extraction proof on your sample files alongside a priced build roadmap—and 100% of a $2,500 proof fee is credited toward Step 02 or Step 03 when you proceed within 30 days.
Where does AI fit—and how do you prevent bad automated actions?
AI comes only after the underlying data is validated. Models group noisy alarms, flag unusual sensor shifts and extract structured fields from free-text notes or PDFs; your engineers confirm exceptions before anything is dispatched, billed or reported.
How is our operational and personal data protected?
Every engagement runs under a signed scope and confidentiality agreement with least-privilege access, explicit retention/deletion rules, Canadian cloud residency options where required, zero-training API configurations, and Alberta PIPA privacy safeguards.
What does this cost?
All work is quoted as a fixed fee in Canadian dollars once scope is agreed. A 10-day Diagnostic & Sample-Data Proof starts at $2,500 CAD (credited toward build within 30 days; multi-site live-system audits run up to $12,000). Focused two-system integration pilots start at $7,500 CAD (larger multi-system builds run up to $60,000 over 6–16 weeks). AI and anomaly workflows start at $5,000 CAD per workflow, and monthly operations retainers run $2,000 to $8,000 CAD for 10 to 35 hours. Third-party cloud/licensing costs and 24/7 on-call coverage are scoped separately.
