What it costs.
Every service has a fixed-price starting tier, because its scope is set in advance. Bigger custom builds get quoted after a 1-week discovery, once I’ve seen the work. Every price is below, in CAD, plus GST.

Discovery week
I measure the work first, so the price comes from what I find.
Software Development and Legacy Modernization start with the same discovery week: $4,500 CAD, credited in full against the build that follows.
Does it pay for itself?
A fair question when the number has five figures. In short, the public research says the businesses that got a return changed how the work gets done, and the ones that bought a tool and kept the old process around it mostly didn’t. Here are four findings, none of them mine, all linked.
-
52% vs 7%
Canadian SMEs whose revenue grew by more than 10%: 52% of the digitally advanced, 7% of the digital latecomers. Revenue that fell or stayed flat: 4% of the advanced, 33% of the latecomers.
BDC, Seize the Technological Advantage, May 2022. 1,406 Canadian small and medium businesses.
-
24%
Canadian SMEs using generative AI are 24% more productive than the ones that aren’t, and only 30% of them use it at all. BDC puts the productivity still on the table at 38%, and the GDP behind it at $350 billion.
BDC, Digital Transformation & AI Study, June 2026. 1,500 Canadian owners and decision makers.
-
5.1%
Statistics Canada matched AI adopters against their own tax records. They are 16.8% more productive than non-adopters of the same industry, size and age, 10.2% once you allow for the fact that already-productive firms adopt first, and 5.1%, which is statistically insignificant, once you account for their other investments. Most of the gain came from those, not from the AI.
Statistics Canada, Artificial intelligence adoption and productivity in Canadian firms, April 2026.
-
37%, then 6%
Of the people surveyed, 80% say AI made them personally more productive, but only 37% say it has added anything to their organization’s operating profit, essentially unchanged in a year, and 6% credit it with 5% or more. Nearly three quarters of that 6% had fundamentally redesigned the work instead of adding AI to it, up from 55% the year before.
What this doesn’t prove
Neither of the first two findings shows that software caused the growth: a business that’s already growing can also afford to buy software. The Statistics Canada paper is the one that tries to separate the two, and it’s the least flattering of the four.
That’s why my custom builds start with a week of watching the work, and why an AI consulting project can end with a recommendation to build nothing at all. It’s also why I won’t tell you software will double your revenue: I couldn’t find a study that says so.
The terms
- Discovery$4,500 CAD, paid up front, for 1 week, and credited in full against the build that follows. If the discovery week wasn’t worth the fee, tell me on the last day and you don’t pay it.
- Fixed tiersHalf to start, the balance on delivery. Net 30.
- Phased buildsHalf at the start of each phase, half when you accept its demo.
- PlansBilled once a year in advance, by card or emailed invoice. Cancel at any renewal. A run plan or care plan pays for the infrastructure your software runs on and my time looking after it, never for a licence to software you already own. The Advisor pays for advice, not hours. That’s the starting price. A busier or more complex system costs more to run, and we agree on the number in writing along with the build, so it never comes as a surprise.
- Never a percentageI’ll never take a cut of what you sell: no royalties, no share of transactions, no per-user fees on software you own. You pay to have it built, and to keep it running.
- What a plan excludesNot included: what you pay other companies. AI model and API keys, third-party licences and app subscriptions stay in your own accounts, at cost. I don’t mark them up. Run plans and website maintenance quote changes separately. Website managed care includes text and image changes on existing pages; new pages, layouts and features are quoted separately.
- Website plansChoose one: maintenance covers hosting, domain renewal and tested updates; managed care adds unlimited text and image changes on existing pages within 5 business days. The fees are not added together.
- Outside a tierAnything outside a tier gets its own written price before I build it, so it never turns up as a surprise on an invoice.
- Moving upMove from a fixed tier to the same service’s Custom tier within 90 days, and what you paid is credited.
- RushUnder 2 weeks: +25%, shown as its own line on the quote.
- PricesIn CAD, plus GST. Invoices are due within 30 days, and quotes are valid for 30 days.
Quote and invoice
The invoice matches the quote.
Anything extra gets its own price, agreed before I build it.
