Why no published prices?
The work is scoped. Cohort size, domain coverage, residency length, and how much of your existing platform we integrate with all move the number. A list price would be misleading in every direction. A thirty-minute call is almost always enough to give you a real range.
How is the Residency priced relative to a typical consulting engagement?
The Residency is a fixed-scope SOW, not a time-and-materials engagement. You pay for a shipped feature and a credentialed team — not for an open-ended staffing arrangement. Scope, named practitioners, and completion criteria are written down before either side signs.
What does SNCP certification actually test?
Applied delivery across a defined domain model — evaluation, retrieval, agent design, evals, security posture, and production operations. It is assessed on work product, not on a multiple-choice exam. Candidates produce artifacts that are reviewed by named SNCPs.
Can a team enroll together?
Yes. Most certification cohorts are run as internal engagements for a single customer. Pricing is set at the cohort level, and the engagement can be paired with a Residency so the team earns the credential on live production work.
How does the marketplace fee work?
The platform fee is disclosed in writing to both the buyer and the practitioner before any contract is signed. There is no staffing margin layered on top of an hourly rate — the practitioner and the buyer see the same numbers.
What is the fastest way to a real conversation?
Use the contact form and describe what you are trying to ship or who you are trying to credential. A member of the team will come back with a scoping call and, typically, a written SOW within a week of that call.
