What consulting costs

Consulting is the other half of how Philterd works, and it is priced differently from software. Discovery is a fixed price, and the work that follows it is quoted once Discovery has shown what that work involves.

Fixed price for Discovery

Discovery produces a written assessment and an implementation plan. The deliverable is fixed, so the price is too, agreed before the work starts. What moves the number is how much is in scope: how many repositories, how large the corpus, how many data flows have to be touched.

The build is quoted after Discovery

Until the data has been looked at, a price for the build is a guess, and a guess has to carry everything it might turn out to be. Discovery is what makes the work scopable, so the quote for the build comes out of it and how it is billed follows the shape of the work. Tuning and policy maintenance after handoff can run as a retainer if you want one.

Example engagements

Each page describes the work, the phases, and how that engagement in particular is priced.

PHI Assessment

A read-only PHI risk review of a healthcare app.

Fixed price, because the deliverable is fixed. The number depends on how many repositories and services are in scope, settled on the intro call.

PII Data Pipelines

Redaction built into your production pipelines.

Discovery is fixed price. The build is quoted once Discovery has mapped the flows, with an optional retainer as the data changes or new pipelines arrive.

Start with an intro call

Thirty minutes with Jeff, who wrote the code and would do the work. We settle the scope, then you get a quote. If the open source is all you need, we will say so.
