How much does an AI Seam Architect cost?
An AI Seam Architect costs $30,000, $85,000 or $150,000, set by how many seams it closes. Every tier carries the same 15% performance fee and the same triple the fee guarantee.
| Tier | Seams closed | Price | Business Brain | Performance fee | Measured gain required (work continues at no charge until reached) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| One seam | The single costliest seam | $30,000 | Included | 15%, 12 months | $90,000 |
| Three seams | The three largest, in cost order | $85,000 | Included | 15%, 12 months | $255,000 |
| All thirteen | Every seam, including the loop | $150,000 | Included | 15%, 12 months | $450,000 |
What does the one seam tier include?
The one seam tier closes the single seam costing you the most. It costs $30,000. The Business Brain, priced at $10,000 on its own, is included. All 13 seams are read and ranked in dollars, and 1 is closed.
Because the read covers your ads, funnels, calls, processor and CRM first, your $30,000 buys the ranked map plus an AI employee holding a written job on its top line, reporting one rate each Friday, which is what an AI Seam Architect does each day, so what does that seam cost you each month it stays open?
What does the three seam tier include?
The three seam tier closes the three largest seams on your map in cost order. It costs $85,000. Each is closed by hand and proven against your baseline before it is automated.
Those three are often the after hours lead, the unconfirmed call and the buyer who said no and heard nothing next, and you watched one happen this month, didn't you, so at $85,000, what monthly leak across your three pays the install back by month three?
What does the all thirteen tier include?
The all thirteen tier closes every seam, including the loop over the whole chain. It costs $150,000. The loop is the thirteenth seam: how many of the twelve handoffs have a named owner.
Once all thirteen seams carry an owner, the question you used to carry home at 11 p.m., whether the follow up went out, belongs to someone who reports on it every week.
How is the 15% performance fee calculated?
The performance fee is 15% of collected revenue above the locked baseline, for 12 months. The baseline is your own last 90 days, signed before anything is fixed. If collections above the baseline total $300,000 in the 12 months, the fee is $45,000. Revenue at or below the baseline carries no fee.
Since the fee exists only on dollars your processor shows above a number you signed, no dollar is billed twice, and if collections above your baseline came to $300,000 this year, would a $45,000 fee feel like a cost or a receipt?
What does an AI Seam Architect cost over the first 12 months?
Twelve months costs the tier price plus 15% of whatever it adds above your baseline. The table is arithmetic on stated figures.
| Tier | Install | Fee on $100,000 above baseline | Fee on $300,000 | Fee on $1,000,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One seam | $30,000 | $15,000 | $45,000 | $150,000 |
| Three seams | $85,000 | $15,000 | $45,000 | $150,000 |
| All thirteen | $150,000 | $15,000 | $45,000 | $150,000 |
Layer3 Labs, in its pricing guide updated 2 July 2026, puts multi use case AI agency builds at "often mid five figures and up," plus a monthly retainer (Layer3 Labs, 2026).
A retainer bills whatever lands, while your fee moves only when your bank does, so the largest cell above is the year you keep $850,000 of the million, a bill you would be glad to open, isn't it?
What does the triple the fee guarantee mean in dollars?
The guarantee is triple the fee back on two conditions: tracking and reporting are in place, and the plan is followed as written. It sits in the agreement as four clauses.
- Baseline: your own last 90 days on every rate the map names, written down and signed before anything is fixed.
- Window: 12 months from the day the system starts closing seams, not from the day the read starts.
- Count: each rate touched, measured every month against its own starting point, times your volume, from read access to your processor and CRM.
- Remedy: if the total is not at least three times the fee, the work continues at no charge until it is.
The measured gain each tier must reach is $90,000 for one seam, $255,000 for three and $450,000 for all thirteen.
Triple the fee in writing turns the question into which seam clears its share first, doesn't it, and a year from now, when your processor shows triple what you paid, the fee reads as the cheapest line on your profit and loss.
Which AI Seam Architect tier should you choose?
Choose the tier by the dollars on your top three seams, not by budget. The 45 minute call prices your three costliest seams on your own numbers.
When your top seam outweighs the next two combined, one seam is the clean buy, when three sit close the $85,000 tier closes them together, and when nobody owns the loop, thirteen fits, though no tier rescues a weak offer, so which three would you price first, knowing your team gives the install about three hours across 90 days?

- Answer the short application.
- Leave with your three costliest seams priced and the tier that fits, ready to start inside 30 days.
How does the price compare with a RevOps consultant or a fractional CMO?
A RevOps retainer buys hours on a function; an AI Seam Architect buys owners on the handoffs. RevOps retainers run $3,000 to $15,000+ a month and project fees $10,000 to $150,000+ (Web Tonic, updated 9 October 2026). A fractional CMO averages $176 an hour ($125 to $200 interquartile), about $180,000 a year against about $360,000 for a full time CMO (Go Fractional, updated 9 June 2026).
| Option | How it is priced | Fee tied to | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Seam Architect | Install plus 15% for 12 months | Collections above your baseline | Triple the fee, in writing |
| RevOps retainer (Web Tonic) | Retainer or project | Hours on one function | None stated |
| AI agency build (Layer3 Labs) | Build plus low to mid four figure monthly fee | Scope delivered | None stated |
| Fractional CMO (Go Fractional) | Hourly, about $176 | Hours on marketing | None stated |
Beside a full time CMO, the $150,000 tier closes every handoff for under half the salary, with a floor beneath it, as AI Seam Architect or fractional CMO lays out, so how much of two years of retainers can you point to in the bank?
Why is the fee tied to collected revenue?
The fee is tied to collections because most AI spend has not shown up in the bank. In PwC's 29th Global CEO Survey, published 19 January 2026, 56% of 4,454 CEOs reported no significant financial benefit from AI to date (PwC, 2026).
It was never your model or your prompts, since every subscription on your card was aimed at a task inside one team and none at the space between two, where the 9 p.m. buyer waits and pays whoever answered first, so a fee owed only above your baseline is easier to sign, isn't it?
What has the install already paid back?
The receipts are collections, not activity. AI Acquisition is a $70,000,000 a year business still running on the CRM Jon Weberg built. Its show rate on a 22 closer floor moved from 19% to 43% in about a month, and $1,322,312 was collected that month.
Jon served there as Fractional President directing the Sales, Marketing and Media Buying Directors, and the same work gave Greg Chambers at Traffic Authority $148,368 in additional profit on traffic he was already buying, gave Matthew Neer at ListLeverage $57,286 in additional sales with 125% more leads and 37% more customers, and took Carlotta Thompson's Tax Strategists of America, on a $30,000 payment record, to $471,000 in new cash in 13 business days, so which of those starting points looks most like your Monday?
What are the monthly alternatives to the install?
Consulting Monthly and the AI OS are the monthly doors at the same depths. Consulting Monthly runs $40,000, $60,000 or $85,000 a month for one, three or thirteen seams. Both carry the 15% performance fee for 12 months.
After the install you choose whether Jon Weberg stays in the room or the AI OS at $12,500 a month keeps the system closing on its own, with every way to work with Jon Weberg on one page.
Who else delivers an AI Seam Architect, and at what price?
Certified Seam Architects deliver the same install and set their own price on their engagements.
Whether Jon Weberg or one of the certified Seam Architects runs yours, the four clauses arrive unchanged.
What else do owners ask about AI Seam Architect cost?
Does the 45 minute call before the install cost anything?
No. The call costs nothing, runs on your own numbers, and you leave it with your three costliest seams priced in dollars a month, whether or not you install.
Does the price change if a certified Seam Architect delivers the install?
A certified Seam Architect sets their own price on their own engagements; the prices on this page are Profitalize's recommended pricing.
Are software and AI account costs included?
Your own AI account is paid to your provider, typically about $20 to $150 a month at first install; the AI employees run inside the CRM, processor and platforms you already pay for.
Can I start with one seam and add more later?
Yes. The one seam tier closes the costliest seam first, and the map built in the Business Brain already ranks the next ones in dollars.
What happens to the guarantee if tracking is not in place?
Tracking and reporting are its first condition, so the install repairs them first: before Coach Kyle's 30 August 2026 launch, 20 of 57 messages with broken tracking were repaired, then 412 registered, 142 live, 37 applications, 30 calls booked and 4 closes at $6,800.
