Indicative only — final pricing locked after a 2-week paid discovery covering data migration, CRM integration depth and CDR accreditation timing.

Next step

Two-week paid discovery — then we build.

If this resonates, the fastest path forward is a paid 2-week discovery to validate scope, integration assumptions and locked pricing for Stage 1.
