How you buy
Start with a free pre-assessment starter. If you are an advisor, you set the client fee and UCF is priced beneath it according to our delivery role. If you buy directly, published starting prices apply to the workshop, sprint, and pilot handoff.
Starting prices
Free
Advisors bringing one client or prospect
A first-pass company map in the company's own names, with illustrative AI directions and the gaps that decide a workshop.
Free
When outside-in market pressure shapes the decision
An outside-in, source-linked first read from public evidence — used when customer, channel, or competitor pressure is part of the call.
Partner pricing — quoted
Advisors who set and own the client engagement fee
You charge the client. UCF participates below that fee as delivery infrastructure, co-delivery, or partner access — scoped to the role we play.
From $3,000
PE operators or transformation leads buying directly from UCF
Ninety minutes on one company: review the starter, add internal evidence, run Analyze, and challenge the first shortlist.
From $12,000
Direct buyers funding the first decision a sponsor must defend
Reviewed map, ranked portfolio, executive memo, and a funded next step.
From $25,000
When one ranked winner is ready to enter engineering
Dossier, eval plan, sandbox where evidence permits, and an owned starter scaffold for one winner.
Quoted after the first paid job
Repeat assessments across clients or portfolio companies
Client workspaces and repeat assessments after the method has earned a place in the practice.
Dollar amounts are direct-client starting prices for a single-company engagement — not advisor buy rates. Advisors set their own client fee; UCF partner pricing is quoted below that fee based on infrastructure and co-delivery scope. Portfolio and multi-client programs are also quoted.
Two ways to buy
The first engagement is assisted. There is no checkout and no monthly starter plan.
The $3,000 workshop and $12,000 sprint are direct-client starting prices, not what an advisor pays UCF.
Advisors retain the client relationship and set their own fee; partner pricing reflects infrastructure and co-delivery scope.
You can run Foundry locally, in Docker, or in your environment. The map does not have to leave your network.
Bring one client, portfolio company, or internal mandate. Advisors tell us what they sell, what they charge, and where they want delivery leverage; direct buyers tell us which decision they need to defend. We then scope the smallest arrangement that preserves ownership and produces the decision.
Questions buyers ask
Not as the first purchase. An advisor can start with partner delivery for one client; a direct buyer can start with a workshop or sprint. Repeat-use advisor workspace terms are quoted from actual usage, not a published seat price.
Yes. You set and own the client fee. The published $3,000 workshop is UCF's direct-client retail starting price, not your buy rate. Your UCF fee is quoted separately according to whether you need infrastructure, co-delivery, or both.
Not by default. Early partner pricing is scoped to UCF's delivery role and expected reuse. That may be a fixed engagement fee, co-delivery fee, or repeat-use arrangement; the goal is to preserve advisor margin and avoid competing for the same client fee.
No. The optional public discovery brief is self-serve. The starter, partner arrangement, and direct paid work are scoped with a person so they match one company and one decision.
Those are quoted. Published dollar amounts are direct starting prices for one company. A 3–5 company portfolio scan or a multi-client advisor program has a different shape — email us to scope it.
After a sprint (or equivalent) when one ranked winner is funded and engineering needs a dossier, eval plan, sandbox proof where history exists, and an owned starter scaffold — not a live deployment inside Foundry.
Yes. The same server runs locally or in Docker, with documented Cloud Run, Fly.io, and Render paths. Optional authentication keeps saved models private. LLM keys stay server-side.
