Pricing & engagement

Owned, not rented.
Priced like it.

No per-citizen tolls, no rented core, no year-seven ambush. Three engagement shapes, one structure underneath: a perpetual licence for what you deploy, certification for your team, and a dependency designed to fall away.

Three shapes

Start small. Own big.
Scale sovereign.

Every engagement is one of three shapes — and every one ends with your institution owning the result.

Start

The proving ground

One real service, live in production inside ninety days — the deliberately small first decision that replaces slides with evidence.

  • One governed service, configured on your tenancy
  • Your environment — cloud, national cloud or on-premise
  • Your analysts in the room from day one
  • Fixed scope, fixed calendar, evidence at day ninety
  • Counts toward the platform engagement if you continue
Scope the first service
The model

The Digital Factory

The full engagement: platform licence, certified team, and a growing portfolio your institution configures itself — owned, not rented.

  • Perpetual licence — platform, services and data stay yours
  • Emeron Academy certification for your analysts
  • Fourteen-day configuration cycles, run in-house
  • Governed AI, integrations and citizen portal included
  • Platform assurance: updates, security, architecture reviews
  • Our dependency designed to fall away — by contract

Scale

The sovereign estate

For national programmes and multi-entity estates: one kernel, many ministries, sovereign deployment up to air-gapped.

  • Multi-tenant estate — one kernel, per-entity autonomy
  • Air-gapped and cleared-facility deployment options
  • National DPI integration — identity, payments, registries
  • Cadre-scale certification programmes
  • Whole-of-government licensing structure

The structural difference

Rent compounds.
Ownership amortises.

A rented platform’s cost curve rises with success: more users, more services, more seats, then the renewal. An owned engine inverts the curve — the licence amortises while your certified team makes each next service cheaper than the last.

Ask any vendor one question and watch the curve reveal itself: what do we pay in year seven, and what do we own? Our answer is on the record.

  • Perpetual licence — the platform is your asset
  • Marginal service cost falls toward staff time
  • Platform assurance priced as a service, not rent
  • Exit terms written for you, verified before signature
How engagement flows

From first call
to owned estate.

Bounded steps, each with an exit — confidence is built on evidence, not lock-in.

Briefing

An hour with the people who build the platform — your use case, our architecture.

Architecture walkthrough

A half day with your technical team — security, sovereignty, integration.

Proving ground

Ninety days, one real service live in your environment. Fixed fee, fixed calendar.

The Digital Factory

Platform licence, Academy certification, portfolio cadence — the full model.

Owned estate

Your team configures, our assurance reviews, the asset stays yours. Forever.

Commercial questions

Asked before every
signature.

Why is there no price on this page?

Because honest numbers depend on scope: entities, environments, services, certification volume. What is public is the structure — perpetual licence, itemised components, no per-citizen tolls, no surprise year-seven repricing. The licensing model itemises what you own; a briefing prices your actual estate.

Is it a subscription?

The licence is perpetual — you own what you deploy. Ongoing platform assurance (updates, security, reviews) is an annual service you can hold us accountable for, and it is priced as a service, not as rent for your own asset.

What does the ninety-day proving ground cost?

A fixed, bounded fee for a fixed, bounded outcome: one real service live in your environment. If you continue to the platform engagement, the proving ground counts toward it.

How does the cost curve behave over time?

Opposite to the industry’s. Because your certified team configures each next service, the marginal cost of service two, ten and forty falls toward staff time — while rented platforms compound. That curve is the business case; we will draw it with your numbers in the briefing.

What about smaller municipalities or agencies?

The engagement is sized to the estate, not to a minimum ticket. A contained portfolio with a small certified team is a normal shape for us — start with the proving ground and grow at your own cadence.

A briefing returns a written commercial structure for your estate — itemised, ownable, defensible in front of any committee.
