Pricing

What it costs to know.

Rudiment is priced in two parts, and both are transparent: a one-time build to stand your system up, and a monthly fee to keep it current as your business moves. The tools it runs on are passed through at cost — never marked up.

The structure

Build once. Keep it current.

You’re not buying a report or renting software. You’re commissioning a system fitted to your business — then kept in step with it.

One-time

The build

A working system, stood up from your business: your sources unified into one governed picture, your definitions agreed once, and the dashboard and private AI fitted to your strategic plan.

$4,000to start

Most builds land between $4,000 and $9,000 — scoped to the complexity of your data and operations, not your headcount.

Monthly

Operating intelligence

The system doesn’t sit still. Connectors, automations, prompts, and views are kept current as your data and strategy evolve — and the intelligence compounds as the questions deepen.

$400/ month, to start

Most firms invest $400–$1,200/month, plus a small per-seat fee for active dashboard users. Every figure is scoped and agreed before you commit.

The exact build and monthly are scoped on your call — before you commit to anything.

No markup

You pay for the craft.
Not the tools.

Rudiment’s fees cover architecture, configuration, governance, and ongoing optimization. The tools the work runs on — the AI, the databases, the connectors — are handled in the open.

Why it’s priced this way

Institutional-grade knowing, without the institutional hire.

A full-time data governance hire runs six figures a year. Rudiment is a fraction of that — the same discipline that stands behind a ten-year strategic plan at the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business, pointed at your company instead.
