Sovereign Tiers

Three engagement tiers. One operating system. From 30-day proof of concept to 18-36 month sovereign deployment. Every tier sovereign-grade confidential.

CHALLENGES
The Problem

Multi-vendor governance assembly costs 4x more and delivers less

The traditional approach — buying separate platforms for each governance function — creates integration debt, security gaps, and sovereignty compromises.

73% Higher TCO
Assembling governance capabilities from 6+ separate vendors costs 73% more than a unified platform over 3 years, including integration, security, and maintenance overhead.
Integration Debt
Every vendor addition creates integration work that compounds over time. Separate security models, separate compliance frameworks, separate update cycles.
18-36 Month Build Time
Building equivalent capabilities in-house takes 18-36 months and costs 8-12x more over 3 years. By the time you deploy, requirements have evolved.
Sovereignty Compromise
Each vendor in your stack is a potential data exfiltration point. More vendors means more attack surface, more jurisdictional exposure, less control.
The Solution

Three tiers. One platform. Sovereign-grade from day one.

Sovereign Tier
Full 9-platform deployment. All 5 pillars, 100-129 capabilities. On-premise, government cloud, or hybrid. 10-year support commitment. Dedicated engineering team. Joint co-development.
Government Tier
5-pillar deployment, 5-7 platforms, 40-60 capabilities. Government cloud. Regional engineering pool. 12-month minimum support. Standard procurement-ready.
Pilot Tier
30-day proof of concept. 1 pillar, 1-2 platforms, 8-12 capabilities. Hosted environment. Dedicated pilot lead. Free. Zero obligation.
Unified Architecture
Every tier runs the same codebase. Zero capability compromise. 100% parity within tier. Upgrade seamlessly with zero downtime.

Frequently Asked

Pricing questions, sovereign answers.

Pricing is determined by four factors: deployment model (on-premise commands a premium for hardware and installation, government cloud offers lower entry cost, hybrid balances both), capability scope (the 129 capabilities can be activated incrementally — clients typically start with 30-50 core capabilities), number of users and concurrent sessions, and support tier (Standard, Priority, or Sovereign with dedicated on-site team). All pricing includes initial deployment, training, and first-year support.

Sovereign-grade confidential. No obligation.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What determines the price of a Sovereign engagement?

Price is determined by scale (citizen population, deployment footprint), pillar mix, jurisdiction (regulatory complexity), and customization. Average pricing for sovereign deployments starts at $5M/year.

Is the Pilot really free?

Yes. The Pilot is sovereign-grade confidential, customer-data-isolated, and free of charge for the 30-day engagement. We absorb the cost because we believe in evidence-based procurement.

How does pricing compare to building in-house?

Building equivalent capabilities in-house would cost 8-12x more over 3 years when accounting for development, security certification, ongoing maintenance, and staffing.

What payment models are available?

Milestone-based payment schedules tied to capability deployment. For Sovereign, typical structure is 30% on contract, 40% on deployment milestones, 30% on capability acceptance. Installment structures available.

Can we start with Pilot and upgrade?

Yes. Most sovereign customers start with a 30-day Pilot, evaluate for 2-3 months, then transition to Government or Sovereign. We credit 100% of the Pilot engagement to the subsequent contract.
