Commercial models & pricing
Three ways to pay. One rate card. No surprises.
A 100-person company and a 20,000-person group should both be able to afford an autonomous company. So you choose how to pay: per project at a fixed price, per running process as a monthly rent without capex, or as your own integrated AI team. Behind all three stand the same hub-trained builders, the same security standard and the same German project management.

How pricing works
One rate card, four tiers, three team sizes.
The figures are on the table in the first technical call.
-
Tier 1 · Simple
- Characteristics
- One bounded process, 1–2 integrations
- Lead time
- 2–4 months
-
Tier 2 · Medium
- Characteristics
- Multi-step across systems, 3–6 integrations
- Lead time
- 5–9 months
-
Tier 3 · Complex
- Characteristics
- Multi-agent, company-wide, governance
- Lead time
- 9+ months
-
Tier 4 · Programme
- Characteristics
- Managed AI operations across units
- Lead time
- individual
-
Team S
- Composition
- 2 junior builders + project lead
- Pace
- ~4 Tier-1 blocks a year: the standard entry team
-
Team M
- Composition
- 1 mid + 2 juniors + project lead
- Pace
- ~5–6 Tier-1 equivalents a year; Tier 2 in parallel
-
Team L
- Composition
- 1 senior + 1 mid + 2 juniors + project lead
- Pace
- Tier 3 capable; architecture ownership on site
One blended rate across all roles. A fixed price per block from team size and lead time, confirmed per stage. From about four projects a year, the own team is the cheaper path. Every figure is named in writing after the technical call, never a range.
Business case
The same capacity at a fraction of the alternatives.
-
1 unit
of Borek build capacity: one Academy-trained builder, steered from Germany
-
~3×
the cost of the same capacity as an own hire in Germany, fully loaded, and months to find
-
~7×
the cost as one consultant FTE
Illustrative German market bands. Every project starts with a break-even and ROI calculation: volume, processing time and error rate from the interview, not estimated; cost today; investment; result (amortisation from go-live, total break-even from signature, value over 48 months). We build first the one that carries itself fastest.
Four contractual promises
Result instead of effort. Four promises in the contract, not on a slide.

Result guarantee

Pricing FAQ
Is the assessment really free?
Yes. Two to three weeks, the full discussion basis, no obligation. It is how we sell: a company that has seen its complete map usually wants to build it with the people who drew it.
What does a first block cost?
A fixed price, named in writing after the technical call: one bounded process in two to four months.
How is a fixed price calculated?
From team size and lead time at one blended rate across all roles, confirmed per stage. No ranges, no surprises.
What does Process-as-a-Service include?
Design, build, operation, maintenance, improvement and the cockpit for that process, for a monthly fee; no capex; three months’ notice.
Can we switch models?
Any time: project to team, team to rented process, rented process to your own operation.
What is not included?
Running cloud and AI usage in your tenant, third-party licences, changes to source systems by their vendors.
Do you work with partners?
No, 100 % from our own hubs, steered from Germany.
Where is the data hosted?
In the EU, in your tenant, or in a Borek-operated EU environment; UK/EU options for regulated clients.
Can we rent a process you built as a project?
Yes, operation by the same team as a monthly fee.
Do prices differ by country?
No, one rate card for Europe and the US.
Start with one process.
A 45-minute call. We look at two or three of your processes and tell you honestly whether automation pays. If it does, you get your complete pipeline designed free of charge, and the first automation live in 30 days.
