I build it first.
You pay when
you've seen it work.

Because it is the same engine bought two ways. Model A is a one-time build — constructed, connected and handed over working, your team runs it (typically A$13,500–19,500 all-in after the same A$4,500 Phase 0 (seen working by day 10, every cent back by day 30)). Model B is AAA running it for you — the weekly work, month to month, at A$750 / A$1,500 / A$3,000. Both are real, both follow the delivery rule, and you can switch between them in writing at any time. The Traction page shows both side by side.

Yes — free and form-free, permanently. Tractus (aaa.artigellence.com/tractus.html) is AAA's event memory engine. At any pitch night or networking event, someone scans your QR and your pitch opens on their phone — the scan itself is logged with time, place and section reads. Nobody fills a form, on either side. The paid layer is one price — A$29/mo for everything: the Memory underneath: card photos, twenty-second voice notes, a morning sweep, and every contact pinned to the event and the reason they matter.

Anything you send — a proposal, price list or deck — goes out as a tracked link. The moment it is opened you get a WhatsApp ping: who, when, which sections they read, how long, and whether they came back. A buyer re-reading your pricing on a weeknight is building a case — now you know, and you call while it is warm instead of chasing cold. Tracked follow-up is included in Tractus at A$29/mo and is used across AAA's own engagements.

All prices include GST.

Phase 0 pilot: A$4,500 refund-backed. 10-to-30 day window.

Agents: A$3,000 each, minimum 4. So A$12,000 floor. Standard Build is 8 agents = A$24,000.

Standard Year-1 Engagement: A$56,500 = Phase 0 + 8-agent Build + 8 months of full retainer at A$3,500/mo (Month 5 to Month 12 = A$28,000).

Lite retainer: A$1,750/mo — reduced scope agreed at signing, same 3-month break clause.

Monthly LLM/API/SaaS run-costs are paid by the client directly — scoped during Phase 0, not included above.

Yes. Every price quoted on this site is in Australian dollars and includes GST.

No — online payment only ever covers Phase 0. The engagement builder on this page produces a full estimate so you can see every dollar, but the checkout charges Phase 0 alone — A$4,500 refund-backed to Day 30, in your chosen rhythm (single payment, 2 × A$2,250 fortnightly, or 3 × A$1,500 every ten days).

Everything else is paid as delivered: agents A$3,000 each on delivery, never upfront; retainers and the Growth Engine bill monthly. Before payment, you'll see the scope pack — the Sample Discovery Questionnaire and the Mutual NDA, signed before Phase 0 begins.

AAA fees do not include the third-party run-costs your agents need to operate. These pass through to your accounts at cost — AAA does not mark them up.

Typical categories: LLM/API credits (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), workflow automation hosting (n8n, Make, Zapier), third-party SaaS subscriptions your agents integrate with.

Indicative worked example for an SME-scale 8-agent build: roughly A$200–A$500/month in combined run-costs. This is an illustration, not a quote. Actual costs depend on which agents you build and how heavily they're used. Scoped and quoted during Phase 0 — before any commitment beyond the pilot — which itself carries the every-cent-back day-30 gate.

Phase 0 is a 10-to-30 day window. A first working result is delivered by day 10. You watch it work between day 10 and day 30, then decide.

Continue, or take every cent back by day 30 — no questions asked. Payment attaches to delivered work, never to results. The shortest exit is day 10 (early confirmation either way). The longest is day 30. The decision window is yours.

Each agent is A$3,000 including GST. The minimum order is 4 agents, so the Build floor is A$12,000.

The full Standard Build is 8 agents at A$24,000. Each agent is paid on delivery, not upfront. Milestone-locked — if an agent isn't delivered, you don't pay for it.

Standard Year-1 Engagement clients get the ceiling included. The Standard package is Phase 0 + 8-agent Build + 8 months of full retainer at A$3,500/mo. Once signed, you can scale to up to 14 agents total during the retainer period at no additional build cost — agents 9 through 14 included.

Below the Standard package? Additional agents during retainer are charged at A$3,000 each. The 14-agent ceiling is specifically a feature of the Standard package.

Want to top up later? A client who started with fewer than 8 agents can top up at any point — paying the difference at A$3,000 per agent. From that point the 14-agent ceiling applies. No upgrade traps. The price you signed at is the price that holds.

Full retainer — A$3,500/mo incl GST. Daily cockpit review by Raj, continuous agent tuning, quarterly strategy review, direct founder access (phone, email, WhatsApp), 14-agent ceiling on the Standard package, model swap included when new LLMs ship.

Lite retainer — A$1,750/mo incl GST. Reduced scope, agreed at engagement signing. Same 3-month break clause. Direct founder access retained — the lite tier reduces frequency and SLA, not access. 14-agent ceiling does not apply; additional agents during lite retainer are A$3,000 each.

Both retainers are optional. Walk away after the 3-month break clause if it stops working.

Yes. If you've completed an Aarambh — The Founder Forge engagement, 80% of the Aarambh fee credits to AAA when you start a full Standard Year-1 Engagement within 12 months.

Worked example: A$25,000 paid to Aarambh → A$20,000 credit on AAA. The Standard Year-1 (A$56,500) becomes A$36,500 net.

Credit applies only to the full Standard package. One-off, non-stackable, non-transferable. Combined engagement, single operator — Aarambh handles the foundation, AAA handles the AI layer.

Clients who sign the full Standard Year-1 Engagement (A$56,500 incl GST — Phase 0 + 8-agent Build + 8 months full retainer) choose one Founder's Bonus worth A$7,000 at no additional cost — a Second Brain Custom GPT trained on the business, a Digital Clone of how you communicate, the private Family Dashboard for the household, or a Media Pack (podcast, audio brief, or explainer video).

Media Pack format is your pick: NotebookLM podcast, 5-min audio brief, or explainer video.

Bonus is gated to the Standard package. Partial engagements — 4-agent Build, lite retainer, no retainer — do not qualify. Bonus locks in at signature.

Privacy Act 1988 + Australian Privacy Principles compliant by design. AAA aligns with the National AI Centre Guidance for AI Adoption (October 2025). Where AHPRA, TGA, or Medicare requirements apply (healthcare clients), governance frameworks are documented before any data flows.

Mutual NDA signed before Phase 0 begins. Read-only access to your existing systems. You own all tooling. We document everything.

You own everything we build. The agents are deployed in your accounts (Make, n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) — not mine. If we part ways, you keep the agents, the prompts, the documentation, and the credentials. We provide a full transition pack.

This isn't a vendor lock-in business. It's a working partnership.

Different problem. AI subscriptions often go unused because owners buy the tool but never build the workflow. AAA builds the workflow around your existing systems — Xero, Cliniko, ServiceM8, LEAP, your inbox — so the AI actually does the work, not just sits in a tab.

Tools are commodities. Workflows are the moat.

No — and here's the honest read.

On 13 May 2026, Anthropic launched Claude for Small Business — 15 pre-built workflows, 15 reusable skills, and connectors to QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Slack. It ships at no extra cost to Pro / Max / Teams subscribers. That's a real launch worth knowing about.

What it does well. Turnkey workflows for US-based small businesses using the named tools. If you're a US-based business on QuickBooks + PayPal + HubSpot, the toggle-in approach gets you running quickly.

Where the Australian SME gap remains. Anthropic's connector list does not include the systems most Australian SMEs actually use — Cliniko, Halaxy, Best Practice, Medical Director (healthcare); MYOB, Xero AU (accounting); ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO, AroFlo (trades); LEAP, Smokeball, Actionstep, PEXA (legal); or the hundreds of niche AU SaaS systems that don't appear on a US product roadmap. The pre-built workflows assume a US toolchain that most Australian SMEs don't run on.

What this means for AAA. Tools commoditise. Workflow integration on the AU stack is what AAA actually sells. Anthropic's own framing makes this point — small businesses don't set up these systems themselves. AAA is the operator who does the setup, makes the connections that aren't pre-built, and tunes the workflow to your actual business.

Tools, plugins and integrations keep arriving — weekly, sometimes daily. AAA continuously monitors and tests them, integrates the ones that genuinely help, and tells you honestly when an off-the-shelf tool is enough and you don't need a build. If Anthropic ever ships a Cliniko connector or a ServiceM8 integration that does what an AAA agent does for less work, we'll tell you and recommend you use it. The Phase 0 refund stands either way.

Accounting: Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks. Healthcare: Cliniko, Halaxy, Best Practice, Medical Director, Genie, MediRecords, Power Diary, Nookal. Trades: ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO, AroFlo. Legal: LEAP, Smokeball, Actionstep, PEXA. CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive. E-commerce: Shopify, WooCommerce. Plus custom APIs for anything else.

We orchestrate via Make, n8n, Zapier — and direct API calls where needed. If you have a system we don't list, we either integrate it or build a custom connector.

No. That's the architecture. AAA agents sit on abstraction layers — not locked to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any single provider. When the next model ships — your stack swaps the engine while keeping the wiring intact.

Switching models is hours of work, not weeks. It's part of the full retainer. This is the structural difference between a workflow we built and a tool you bought — tools rot, workflows evolve.

Honest answer: no. AAA augments. The Klarna case is instructive — they replaced 700 customer-service FTEs with AI in 2024, then publicly reversed course in May 2025 because the quality dropped. Human judgment matters.

What AAA does: removes the admin and repetitive work that stops your staff from doing the work that actually pays. Your team gets their day back. Your owner gets their week back.

Phase 0 is refund-backed for 30 days, no questions asked. If you don't see clear, measurable value within the pilot window, every cent comes back.

Build phase agents are paid only on delivery — not upfront. If an agent isn't delivered, you don't pay for it. The retainer has a 3-month break clause.

Risk on the operator at every step. That's the only fair way to do this work.

Top 10 Australian SME verticals: Allied health, trades & field services, accounting, legal & conveyancing, food distribution, GP practices, retail/e-commerce, construction, logistics, and tech/SaaS. See the Industries section above for specific use cases and integrations per vertical.

If you're outside these — call anyway. The AAA architecture is industry-agnostic; the verticals listed are simply where the patterns are most documented.

You get Raj. Every single time. No junior developer. No junior analyst. No "account manager" who hands you off after the sale.

This applies across all tiers including the lite retainer — direct founder access is retained at every level. The lite tier reduces frequency and SLA, not access. If you're not talking to Raj, you're not engaged with AAA.

Yes. If you're an active AAA client and you refer another Australian SME who signs Phase 0 and reaches the 30-day milestone — you receive A$500 credit applied to your next retainer invoice (or paid out if you're not on retainer).

No cap on referrals. No expiry. Trust travels. If you've experienced the work, your word is the strongest endorsement we could ever build. We compensate it accordingly.

Eligibility: client must be in good standing, referral must be a genuine new prospect (not an existing AAA contact), and the referred client must complete Phase 0 (i.e. either continue past day 30, or refund — both qualify).

None of those. AAA builds working systems — AI agents wired into the tools you already run on (MYOB, Xero, your CRM, your phones) doing actual jobs: answering the call, chasing the invoice, following up the quote, reconciling the account.

Not a content agency — a video with two million views is reach, not operations. The only question that matters is whether it invoiced anyone. Not a lead-gen agency — agencies sell you more inputs; we fix what happens after the lead arrives, because when we baseline your funnel the leak is almost never "not enough leads", it's slow follow-up. More leads into a leaking funnel is just a bigger leak.

Architect — designs the system around your specific business: which agents, what data they touch, what they're allowed to do, and what happens when something fails. Security and permissions before anything runs.

Orchestrator — makes it run as one operation: multiple agents and your existing tools working in sequence, with clean handoffs, and a human in the loop wherever money moves.

Optimiser — makes the numbers move: everything measured against your baseline sheet, reported weekly, tuned at every review. If it doesn't move, you see it as clearly as we do.

Or put commercially: commodity pixels in, last-mile context out. The models are the same ones everyone can buy. What you're paying for is the last mile — your data, your rules, your systems, your accountability.

No — AAA is never paid on results, and we don't quote KPI multipliers. Nobody honest guarantees an outcome that depends on your market, your pricing and your team as much as on the system. Anyone who does is selling you the guarantee, not the work.

Payment follows agreed scope, not outcomes. Every stage is written down and agreed before it starts — nothing changes without written agreement. Phase 0 is A$4,500 and refund-backed to day 30. Retainers bill monthly.

What we do commit to is the measurement: the number that has to move is baselined in week one, reported weekly, and reviewed together. You'll always know whether it's working. You just won't ever pay a bonus for it working — or be argued with about attribution when a market does something neither of us controls.

Fair — and the honest answer has two halves. The brand is young; the operator isn't. Twenty-five years self-employed across four industries and thirty-eight countries, an Australian operating entity since 2003, live production builds you can open right now — this site and synarka.pro, click around — and paying engagements underway across multiple Australian SME industries.

But here's the real answer: the whole model is built for exactly this question. Your 1st Insight is free. Phase 0 is refund-backed within its 30-day window. Payment is staged against agreed scope, never against results. Everything runs in your systems, on your data, with the same numbers reviewed together weekly.

New earns trust by removing your risk — not by asking for it.

1 · Ask the agent. Go to aaa.artigellence.com/start and put one real problem to the AI agent. It answers itself. Free, no call, no form-gate.

2 · One pain point in. If it's worth going further, the 1st-Insight Intake takes 15–20 minutes. You get a free 1st Insight within 48 hours plus a Baseline Sheet — the numbers as they stand today, before anyone spends anything.

3 · NDA and scope. Mutual NDA on request. Every stage is scoped and agreed in writing before it starts — you see the sample NDA and engagement terms before you commit to anything.

4 · Phase 0 — A$4,500. Thirty days, first agent live by day 10, refund-backed. Nothing is charged on results at any point.
