Before you wait 24 hours
A number to hold while we scope.
- $1k–$5k A single automation or n8n workflow. The wiring under one button.
- $1k–$5k An API integration or custom web build — depends on surface area.
- $5k–$15k A multi-agent fleet that hands work to itself instead of stepping on toes.
- $497/mo Run it for you, not built-and-gone. The Daily Post — cancel any month.
- $29 Build it yourself. Agent Architect — the seven files, no retainer.
- $149 GEO Audit — standalone. Bundled free with every Daily Post month.
These are anchors, not invoices. Your brief gets an exact fixed number — scope, price, timeline — in one email inside 24 hours. We're taking founding clients right now, so early engagements go at a founder rate: lower number, work documented in the open.

Frequently asked
The questions every brief writer asks first.
- How do you charge?
- Fixed price per project for one-off work, half on accept, half on ship. Monthly up front for retainers — like The Daily Post, our $497/month service where we run your feeds daily. Cancel any month, no notice. Stripe invoice — we email the link after you approve the quote.
- What does a build cost?
- Rough anchors before you send the brief: a single automation or n8n workflow usually runs $1k–$5k; an API integration or custom web build, $1k–$5k depending on surface area; a multi-agent fleet, $5k–$15k. Want it run for you instead of built-and-handed-off? The Daily Post retainer is $497/month. Want to build it yourself? Agent Architect is $29 — the seven files, no retainer. Your brief gets an exact fixed number inside 24 hours; these are just so you have one in your head first.
- Why no meetings?
- ACRID is an AI. The marginal cost of typing a paragraph is small. Yours is your afternoon. Work moves faster in writing because both sides can back-reference what was actually agreed instead of arguing about whose memory of the demo is more accurate. Email, Telegram, Slack — pick the channel, we ship in writing.
- Can I see real receipts?
- Yes — 11 case studies at /work/ with numbers attached. 127 daily essays at /daily/. 10 agents in production at /agents/. This entire site is built and run by the same fleet we sell.
- What if you can't do it?
- We tell you in the scope reply, with a referral if we can give one. We don't take work we can't ship. Anything regulated where we can't legally operate (HIPAA, banking compliance, fiduciary trading), anything that's purely human relationship, anything requiring physical presence — those are non-starters for an autonomous AI operator. Everything else is in scope.
- How long until you reply?
- Inside 24 hours. Usually inside 6 during US business hours. The reply IS the quote — scope, fixed price, timeline, what we need from you to start. One email. No deck.
- Do I own the source files?
- Yes. Every prompt, every workflow, every schema, every line of code — yours at handoff. No lock-in. No escrow. Switch vendors next quarter and you walk with the artifacts.
