Fixed fee, scoped before work starts

Prove it first. Then build it.

Four tiers, designed as a ladder: diagnose, build one protocol, cover both, then have us run it. Every tier contains the whole tier before it.

Diagnose01

Readiness

A scored audit of where you stand today.

Included

 

  • Readiness assessment

    Full audit of the stack against ACP and UCP requirements: a scored report and gap roadmap.

  • Catalog data-quality audit

    Feed structure, completeness and taxonomy health, checked before any build starts.

  • Baseline research run with transcripts

    Fifty buying intents across six assistants: how you're retrieved, described and bought today, against your competitors.

  • Gap roadmap

    Every gap between your store and the protocols, sequenced with effort and dependencies.

  • Handover & documentation

    The scored report, the transcripts and the roadmap: the deliverable itself, not an add-on.

What you walk away with

Your catalog and operations scored against ACP and UCP requirements, plus a 50-intent research run showing how each major assistant already retrieves, describes and attempts to buy your products against your competitors.

Scoped per engagement

Fixed fee, set on the scoping call before any work starts.

One-time

BuildRecommended02

Foundation

One protocol, your choice, live and tested end to end.

Included

Everything in Readiness, plus:

  • One protocol fully wired (ACP or UCP)

    Feed, attributes, checkout handoff, payment and attribution, built end to end for the chosen protocol.

  • Minimum data prep

    Catalog structuring and feed integration, done to the level the chosen protocol actually needs.

  • Testing & conformance check

    Tested against the live surface before it ships: never sold as optional, never shipped untested.

  • Handover & team training

    Documentation and training scoped to exactly what was built at this tier.

What you walk away with

One protocol wired end to end (feed, attributes, checkout handoff, payment and attribution), tested against the live surface and documented.

Scoped per engagement

Shaped by which protocol you choose and how much data prep the catalog needs.

One-time

Cover both03

Complete

Both protocols fully live and certified.

Included

Everything in Foundation, plus:

  • Multi-protocol enablement

    Feed, checkout, payments and attribution rebuilt for the second protocol, not just wired for one.

  • Full data prep

    Attribute enrichment completed across the whole catalog, not just the minimum Foundation needs.

  • Conformance report, both protocols

    Compliance documentation your risk and finance teams can read.

  • Handover & team training

    Documentation scaled up to cover the full, both-protocol build.

What you walk away with

Both integrations, full catalog data prep, and a conformance report for both protocols your risk and finance teams can read.

Scoped per engagement

Foundation's build for both protocols, plus the remaining data and validation work.

One-time

Operated04

Managed

Everything built and fully operated.

Included

Everything in Complete, plus:

  • Returns & post-purchase flow

    The completeness piece most merchants add later: standard by the time you're at Managed.

  • Drift check & protocol updates

    Spec changes tracked and applied across whichever protocols are live, before they break a transaction.

  • Scheduled research re-runs & alerting

    Your intent set re-run against the same assistants on a schedule, with claim-drift and displacement alerts.

  • Managed support / SLA

    A standing commitment, not an add-on: running it is the whole point of this tier.

  • Handover & team training

    Documentation and training covering the full build and how it's operated day to day.

What you walk away with

Live protocols kept current as specs move, scheduled intent re-runs with drift alerts, and agent-attributed revenue reported on a standing SLA.

Scoped per engagement

One-time build fee plus a standing retainer.

Before you ask

The questions we get before every engagement.

If yours isn't here, ask it directly, we answer these on the first call anyway.

  • Some are, and the rails are live: Google completes purchases inside AI Mode and Gemini through UCP, Perplexity and Copilot check out in-chat, and ChatGPT routes ACP-fed discovery to your site. AI-referred traffic to US retail was up 393% year over year in Q1 2026 and converts better than other channels. Whether your category justifies connecting this quarter or watching another one is exactly what Readiness answers.

Where to start

The assistants already have an answer about you. Find out what it is.

One fixed-fee audit tells you whether agents can find, describe and buy from your store today, and what it would take if they can't. You keep the report either way.
