AI service tiers, from readiness assessment to full governance implementation

Infrastructure
first

AI deployments at Systems are built on a reviewed and stable infrastructure foundation, not layered on top of technical debt

AI readiness

Most organizations
are not ready to deploy AI.

Before writing a single line of AI integration code, we assess whether the underlying infrastructure can support it. Data architecture, security posture, compute availability, and network topology all determine whether an AI deployment succeeds or fails.

The AI Readiness Assessment is designed for this: a structured, independent evaluation that produces an honest gap analysis before you commit budget to a build.

Monthly retainer

$1,800

Per month, starting from · CAD

Retainer pricing is confirmed after the initial engagement. Rate reflects scope, cadence, and team size.

Ongoing support

Retained advisory.

For organizations that have completed an engagement and need ongoing architecture oversight, security review, or strategic advisory. Retainers provide priority access to senior consultants without the overhead of a full-time hire.

What retainer clients get
  • Monthly architecture review session (up to 2 hours)
  • On-call response for critical infrastructure issues (SLA-based)
  • Quarterly security posture review
  • Review and sign-off on major infrastructure changes before implementation
  • Access to Systems consultants for ad hoc questions and vendor evaluation
  • Priority scheduling on any follow-on project work
Before you reach out

A few notes on pricing.

[01]

All prices are in Canadian dollars

All figures shown are in CAD. HST is added to every invoice at the applicable rate. A 25% deposit is required before work begins on any engagement.

[02]

Complex environments affect scope

Multi-region deployments, regulated workloads (PHIPA, PIPEDA, SOC 2, HIPAA), or environments with significant legacy debt typically fall at the higher end of the range shown, or require custom scoping.

[03]

Travel and on-site work

Most Systems engagements are conducted remotely. On-site visits, where required, are billed at cost plus a daily consulting rate. This is discussed and agreed before any travel is booked.

[04]

Vendor-independent advisory

Systems does not accept referral fees or reseller commissions from any vendor. Platform and tool recommendations are based exclusively on fit for your environment.
