Questions about Focused Automation Implementation

The fixed price applies only to workflows that match the qualifying scope. Northbridge confirms system compatibility, integration options, and effort before invoicing so timelines and price stay predictable.

Northbridge will explain why and recommend the next step, which is typically an Automation Blueprint or a custom proposal.

Northbridge will explain why the requirement does not qualify and recommend an appropriate next step. Depending on the project, that may be a Blueprint, a consultation, a custom proposal, or a revised implementation scope. You are not required to purchase a larger engagement.

Purchase and fulfillment

Fit confirmation required before invoicing

Price and payment structure: $2,995 USD total for qualifying scopes, invoiced as a $1,500 project-start payment and $1,495 before production deployment. This is a professional-service engagement, not a subscription. No public reusable checkout link is offered for this product.
What must happen before work begins: Work begins only after written fit and scope confirmation, required access, and confirmation of the $1,500 project-start payment.
Delivery timeframe: Typically 10–15 business days after scope confirmation, access, and the project-start payment
Cancellation and refunds: Cancellation, termination, deposits, milestone payments, and refunds are governed by the signed proposal, MSA, SOW, and invoice.
A project-start payment may be applied to reserved capacity, discovery, setup, committed resources, and completed work.
Future unperformed work may be cancelled according to the signed agreement.
Any refundable balance is determined after completed work, approved commitments, non-cancellable third-party costs, and other amounts properly due are considered.
Delivered or accepted milestones are generally non-refundable.
Approved refunds are initiated within 5 business days after written approval.
The customer's bank or payment provider may require additional time to post the credit.
Review, acceptance, revisions, and support: Functional testing precedes a controlled deployment. One consolidated revision round against the approved scope is included, followed by 14 calendar days of defect-remediation support after production deployment.
Customer responsibilities: The primary workflow ready for implementation
Administrative access to the involved systems
A responsive point of contact for kickoff, revision, and deployment
Confirmation that third-party subscriptions and licenses are in place

This engagement always requires written fit and scope confirmation before invoicing. It is never sold through a general public checkout link.

Customers are shown the applicable service scope, delivery terms, cancellation and refund policy, and Terms of Service before purchasing. Card entry occurs only on the payment gateway's secure payment fields. Secure online card payments are processed through our NMI payment gateway, and Northbridge does not collect or store payment-card details. Please do not submit complete payment-card numbers, security codes, banking credentials, or passwords through Northbridge inquiry or support forms.

Doesn't quite match your situation?

If your requirement is broader, more specialized, or spans multiple systems, Northbridge will evaluate it as a custom engagement instead.
