Fixed scope, fixed price, a deliverable you keep

Knowledge Architecture Assessment: $8,500

Two to three weeks. An inventory of what you hold, an authority map showing which instruments bind and on whom, the citation chains that are broken, the content resting on superseded sources, and the places where two of your own documents disagree.

Extended Assessment: $14,500 to $24,000

Four to five weeks. The same method across a wider body of documents, for corpora that genuinely exceed three weeks of work. More to inventory, more chains to trace, and more places where two of your own documents disagree.

Accessibility Position Assessment: $6,000

One to two weeks. Which compliance date binds you and on what basis, which reading of the Virginia dates you have adopted and who approved it, an inventory of the digital estate, and a position summary. For libraries, school divisions, higher education and local government.

Shorter and less costly than a Knowledge Architecture Assessment because this chain is already traced and we maintain it. You are buying its application to your institution, not its construction. The accessibility chain.

Conformance Readiness Review, institutions: $7,000

Two weeks. For a public body that has already published an accessibility statement. What it claims, which authority it names, whether that authority sets your obligation, and whether your stated scope reaches the systems your users sign in to. For institutions.

Conformance Readiness Review, vendors: $9,000

Two weeks. For software vendors selling to Virginia public institutions. Your conformance report read as a buyer reads it, your roadmap assessed against the statute that now requires one, and the contract terms you will be asked to accept. For vendors.

Custom Body of Knowledge: $45,000 to $200,000

Eight to twenty weeks. We build your body of knowledge from your statutes, regulations, policies, and handbooks: the domain model, the governed objects, the citation and provenance chains, and the links to adjacent material. You own the result.

Advisory Retainer: $4,000 to $8,000 a month

Rolling access for an organization building its own knowledge governance capability. Design review, authority modeling, and a standing call.

Managed Currency: 20 to 30% of build, annually

Five-year term, $1,000 a month floor. For a Custom Body of Knowledge. Law changes and your documents do not, so we watch the authorities underneath yours and tell you when they move. Monitoring is by volatility tier rather than by opening every source each morning: a change raises a review item, a person dispositions it, and nothing reaches your baseline without that step. You receive a statement every month recording what was checked, what moved, and what was dispositioned, including the months when nothing moved.

Watch is twenty percent of build a year: we monitor and report, you act. Watch and revise is thirty percent: we make the revision and reissue the governed baseline. Restructuring is included. Where an authority is rewritten and the chain underneath has to be re-traced rather than updated, that work is inside the fee. A cheaper arrangement would exclude precisely the changes you need us for.

A base year and four option years, the options yours to exercise, with the percentage locked to the original build value for the whole term. Smaller baselines take the Annual Reissue instead.

Annual Reissue: 30% of the original

Per year, window one year plus 60 days. For an assessment or a position rather than a full body of knowledge. Every engagement already carries a currency clause: findings name their own revisit triggers, and an affected determination is reissued at no charge if a trigger fires within twelve months. After that window, an Annual Reissue re-checks the authorities, records what has moved, and reissues the position with a current date on it.

Thirty percent of the original engagement, and it stays thirty percent of the original for as long as the sequence is unbroken: reissue in 2029 and you pay against what you paid in 2026, not against the rate that year. The window is one year and sixty days from delivery, extendable in writing before it closes. Miss it and the next engagement is a new assessment at the current rate.
