Modules

Add to the machine. At published prices.

A build ships with the scope its band defines, and the band sets which modules can join it later: the audit scopes the price, the price scopes the build, the build scopes the modules. When the practice grows, you add to it in fixed modules: one price each, written down here, with their own acceptance criteria and delivery times. Nothing is re-priced, nothing is re-audited, and nothing runs on an hourly meter.

§01The Catalog

Four modules. Four prices.

Every module is built to the same standard as the original system, wired into the machine you already own, and accepted against criteria written into the order. The prices below are the prices; they do not move with your firm's size or your capacity number.

$1,250additional document type. Template grounding, extraction schema, verification ruleset, test fixtures, reviewer training. About a week.
$2,000additional integration. A named external system wired in: permissions, audit trail, test fixtures. About a week.
$1,500additional jurisdiction pack. Jurisdiction rules, authority set, law-change refresh coverage for your included document types. About a week.
$4,500additional system, one of the six not yet in your build. The full system to the build standard, its own acceptance criteria. About two weeks.

§02Ordering and Credit

Written order. Written acceptance.

THE ORDERper module · fixed price
paid30/70

Thirty percent on the written order, seventy on acceptance against the criteria the order names. Nothing is built on an unquoted request, during the build or after it.

  • The order names the module, the price from this page, and its acceptance criteria
  • Built to the same standard as your original system, wired into the machine you already own
  • Tested on fixtures, never on live client matters
  • Accepted in writing; the balance is due only then
  • New document types receive law-change refreshes under your care plan from then on
  • If modules raise your systems count into a higher care band, care moves to that band the following month

Change requests during a build follow the same path: quoted in writing at these prices before any work begins.

UNUSED SCOPEceilings · not obligations
12 months

Your band's counts are ceilings. Scope your number bought but you chose not to build does not vanish; it converts to credit at the prices on this page.

  • Usable for twelve months after acceptance, on any module
  • Tradeable across categories during the build: two document types for one integration, for example
  • Not refundable, and it carries no cash value
  • Written into your blueprint so both sides can read the balance

Choosing a larger band at build time still costs less than adding the same scope as modules later. Credit exists so that a generous blueprint never becomes wasted money.

§03What Is a Module, and What Is Not

Care keeps it sharp. Modules make it bigger.

The line is simple. Anything that adds a capability the build did not have is a module. Anything that keeps the capabilities you have running well is care. Modules are fixed prices. Care is included hours, and anything beyond them is billed only with your written approval first.

FAQ

Modules, without the fog.

Because a quote invites a second audit, and the audit was the point of the first one. Each module carries one published price, its own acceptance criteria, and a typical delivery time. You can budget growth a year out, and nothing about your original price is reopened.

At build time. Choosing the next band up adds a system, a document type, an integration, and a reviewer together for less than the same modules cost separately afterwards. That is by design: the band the audit recommends is meant to be the rational purchase, a larger band is the rational upgrade, and modules exist for growth you could not have scoped on day one. The audit scopes the price, the price scopes the build, and the build scopes the modules.

No. Care covers monitoring, tuning, corrections, law-change refreshes to the document types you already have, template and workflow refinements, and reviewer onboarding. A new document type, system, integration, or jurisdiction is a module at the prices on this page. If modules raise your systems count into a higher care band, care moves to that band the following month.

During the build, yes. Your band's counts are ceilings, not obligations: scope your band includes but you choose not to build converts to credit at these prices, usable for twelve months after acceptance on any module, or traded across categories while the build is underway. Credit is not refundable and has no cash value.
