Pricing
Clear pricing for a programme you can defend.
You've committed to Anthropic. Here's what implementation costs, across four pillars you can engage on their own or as one programme, plus the Kowalah Platform on its own. All figures exclude VAT.
Real numbers, not a quote. Most services firms hide pricing; we publish ours so you can plan with confidence, then scope the specifics together.
01
Strategy & Advisory
The entry point for most programmes. AI programme design, governance, and roadmap, including the Vision Map Workshop, process mapping, architecture decisions, and a Statement of Work.
Explore Strategy & Advisory →From £15,000
At 1,000 employees: £15,000–£25,000
Scoped per engagement. Regulated industries (financial services, legal, healthcare) sit at the upper end. Can stand alone or open a full programme.
02
Design & Build
Agents and workflows taken into production, priced by what goes live rather than the days it takes. Every build starts with the outcome it has to deliver and the baseline it's measured against. Pre-built agents from our library bring cost toward the lower end.
Explore Design & Build →Agent in production
From £15,000
One defined agent or workflow, live in your Claude environment, with its success measure agreed before the build starts.
Process redesigned
From £50,000
One end-to-end process rebuilt around Claude: agents, integrations, your Agent Hub set up, and the team handed over. Measured against its baseline.
Full programme at 1,000 employees: £100,000–£200,000
03
Change Enablement
The full programme taking an organisation from pre-AI to post-AI. Priced per employee, with the per-employee cost falling at scale. The pillar where programmes succeed or fail.
Explore Change Enablement →From £155 per employee
At 1,000 employees: £220 per employee · approx. £220,000 total
Regulated industry, multi-language, or accelerated timelines adjust the base. Model your specifics, including platform licensing, in the AI Programme Calculator.

Questions
Pricing, briefly explained.
Can we engage one pillar without the others?
Yes. All four pillars can be engaged independently or as a combined programme. Most clients move Strategy & Advisory → Design & Build → Change Enablement, then transition to Managed Services, but the entry point is wherever you are.
How does Change Enablement pricing work?
It's priced per employee receiving enablement, and the per-employee cost falls at scale because a large part of the programme is fixed. Regulated industries, multi-language rollouts, and compressed timelines carry documented adjustments. The AI Programme Calculator models your specifics, including platform licensing and internal resource costs.
Why isn't Design & Build priced by the day?
Because you're buying an outcome, not our time. Each build is priced by what goes live: the process, the systems it touches and the integrations it needs.
What does a complete year-one programme cost?
Use the size toggle on the programme estimates below for an order-of-magnitude figure across all four pillars. Actual scope depends on complexity, regulatory environment, and how many departments are in play, which is exactly what the Vision Map Workshop pins down.
Is the Kowalah Platform available without a services contract?
Yes. Start free on your own, then move to Team when others want to help build your AI Operating Model. You pay for contributors, the people who build and maintain the model; everyone else views for free, in the app or from their own Claude. Business and Enterprise add more contributors, single sign-on and governance, and sit alongside our managed services.
