THE MENU

Everything BlackRain can actually do, and what it costs. One job per build — never an "AI employee." Prices anchor to the Charter.

When he asks "can you do that?"

"Yeah, that's in range. Before I quote you a number I'd want to see how you're doing it now — because half the time the fix is smaller than people think and I'd rather tell you that. That's what the assessment is for."

Says yes without committing to a price, and makes the assessment the next step instead of a pitch. Never quote a build you haven't scoped. Flags below: ✅ built · 🟡 ready · 🔧 needs a paid tool (client's cost, said out loud) · 🎓 first of its kind — quote the low end and say you're early.

7 · Quoting live — the arithmetic

Micro

$500 – $1,500

One skill, no infrastructure, no monthly. A single repetitive task. Great door-opener, never the whole engagement.

Standard — the default

$2,000–$3,000 + $297–$597/mo

One running function with a managed monthly. Almost everything on this list.

Multi

$5,000–$10,000 + $750–$1,500/mo

Two to four functions on one Brain. Sold off a delivered assessment, never cold.

Retainer

$1,500–$3,000/mo

The standing relationship. After something works.

1. Never quote a multi-function build on a cold call. "That's assessment territory — let me see it first."

2. Monthly is not optional on anything that runs. A build with no monthly is a thing that breaks silently and takes the referral with it.

3. Tool subscriptions are his, on top, said out loud. A voice platform or CRM seat is a cost of goods — never a discount you eat.

Bundling: two functions on one Brain ≈ build #1 + 60% of build #2. The Brain is already paid for — a real discount with a real reason.

8 · The honest no

Saying no fast is worth more than a bad yes. Refer these out.

Regulated patient or financial dataHIPAA, PHI, anything a bank examines. No compliance surface, no insurance, unlimited downside.

Anything on-site or hardwareCabling, cameras, POS terminals, on-prem servers. Not the business.

Native mobile appsWrong stack, long cycle, no maintenance story.

Enterprise ERP integrationsSAP, Epicor, custom middleware. Months, a team, and a legal department.

"Make me go viral"Not a deliverable. Taking money for it is how a local reputation dies.

Fake identities, scraped personal data, broken platform termsThe register dies with it, and the register is the business.

Work that can't be measuredNo number before and no number after means no proof, no case study, no renewal. Refuse it or reshape it until it has one.

Not on the list?

"That's in range — let me see how you're doing it now."

Book the assessment; it is literally the tool for pricing an unknown. Then tell Burnlap the same day — it gets scoped and priced within the hour, and this menu gets a new line. The menu is written by the market, not invented at a desk.
