Process & pricing

Scoped in writing before it is billable.

Every Kahla engagement starts small, is priced against a written scope, and is led directly by the founder. Here is exactly how it works, and what it does not include.

Step one · always

Revenue Leak Review

A short working session on one customer journey — where inquiries, bookings, or orders actually fall out of your current setup.

  • 20-minute call
  • Review of one customer journey
  • Three written observations, yours to keep
  • A straight fit assessment — including “not a fit”
Free. No obligation. No sales deck.

Recommended first engagement

Founding Partner Pilot

A narrowly scoped system that proves value on one journey before anything expands. Built for the two open founding partner slots.

  • Narrowly scoped system, one core journey
  • Fixed build price against a written scope
  • 45–60 day initial term
  • Weekly demonstration
  • Clearly defined acceptance criteria
  • Ongoing operation available afterward, month to month
  • Usage costs disclosed separately
Pricing provided after the Revenue Leak Review. Founding partners receive reduced early-stage pricing in exchange for close collaboration and permission to document verified results. Ongoing operation: quoted with the scope. Third-party usage costs (AI, telephony, hosting beyond the agreed plan) are itemized separately in every scope.

When the problem is bigger

Full custom engagement

For businesses that need several systems connected — intake, booking, payments, inventory, communication — as one build.

  • Multi-system integration
  • Custom scope, mapped in the diagnosis
  • Pricing after diagnosis
  • Larger implementation fee
  • Optional operating retainer
Scoped individually. Same rule as everything else: written system map, fixed deliverables, and acceptance criteria before anything is billable.
Start with the Review

The four steps, every time.

01

Diagnose

We map where inquiries, bookings, payments, or staff time are currently leaking.

02

Scope

You receive a written system map, fixed deliverables, timeline, dependencies, and pricing.

03

Build

Kahla builds and connects the agreed system with weekly demonstrations.

04

Operate

After launch, Kahla monitors, maintains, and improves the parts included in your operating plan.

What commonly fits inside each tier.

Example scopes, not quotes — every engagement is priced against its own written scope. These show the typical shape and depth of each tier so you can qualify the fit financially before a call.

A pilot-sized scope

One location, one journey: AI-assisted intake on the website or phone, qualification rules you approve, booking into your existing calendar, human escalation with context, and basic reporting. 45–60 days, then month to month.

A custom-engagement scope

Several systems connected as one build: intake, booking, payments or checkout, inventory or CRM, and customer communication — like the Measure Joy storefront, catalog workflow, BNPL checkout, and concierge.

An operating scope

After launch: hosting, monitoring, maintenance, and improvement of the parts named in your operating plan — with third-party usage costs (AI, telephony) itemized separately so you always see what runs where.

Payment schedule

The written scope states the fixed build price and its payment schedule before anything is billable. Nothing is invoiced until you approve the scope in writing.

Typical timeline

Pilots run a 45–60 day initial term with a weekly demonstration. Larger engagements set their timeline in the scope, with the same weekly cadence.

Dependencies & third-party costs

Accounts the system runs on (Stripe, telephony, calendar, hosting beyond the agreed plan) belong to your business. Their costs are itemized separately in every scope.

Cancellation & handoff

Operation is month to month after the initial term. If you leave, you get documentation and a clean handover — the systems and accounts are yours.

What is not included.

Clear boundaries make a fixed scope possible. These are outside every Kahla engagement unless separately and explicitly agreed in writing.

Third-party costs — a Stripe account, a phone number, AI usage, hosting beyond the agreed plan — are always itemized separately so you can see exactly what runs where.

  • Paid media spending
