Pricing FAQ
No. Month-to-month after the initial assessment. You stay because the ROI makes sense, not because of a contract.
Full refund. No questions. We've never had to issue one — a 25-50 person service company always has more than $50K in recoverable operational waste.
The build phase is more intensive — deploying 3-5 new systems, training your crew, and integrating with your existing tools. Once everything is live, the operate phase shifts to monitoring, optimizing, and rolling out new capabilities as they become available.
Everything. Your specialist's time, all AI tool subscriptions they manage, ongoing training, monthly ROI reports, and direct Slack/email access to your specialist and Ironback leadership.
A fractional COO costs $8K-$15K/month, focuses on strategy, and doesn't implement anything. Your Ironback specialist costs $3,500-$5,500/month and does the actual work — building, deploying, and running your AI operations infrastructure.
