Explore Business Setup→Team and Business are priced by scope. The number of knowledge areas Kernel maintains and the maintenance they need determine the plan. A short conversation is how that scope is established.
Enterprise and other specialized requirements are handled as Kernel Custom Solutions: organization-wide architecture, advanced governance, specialized integrations, and custom support arrangements.
What You Pay For
Every plan separates establishing your operational brain from maintaining it, so the monthly plan is never an open-ended retainer.
Setup
A one-time fee establishes your operational brain within a defined scope: the knowledge area, the structure around it, and the connection to the AI tools you use.
Monthly
The plan maintains that foundation. It covers supported changes to what is already in place and a bounded amount of support.
Expansion
New knowledge areas, workflows, integrations, or capabilities are scoped and priced separately, so you always know what you are paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the setup fee cover?
- Your setup fee covers establishing your operational brain within the scope of your selected plan. This includes organizing your business knowledge, creating its shared foundation, and configuring supported AI-tool connections.
- What does the monthly plan include?
- Your monthly plan covers ongoing maintenance of your existing operational brain, including supported updates, fixes, and assistance within your plan’s service limits. New capabilities and expanded scope are handled separately.
- What counts as expansion?
- Adding new knowledge areas, workflows, integrations, or capabilities beyond your original setup counts as expansion. These additions are scoped and priced separately, so your monthly plan remains predictable.
- How do additional seats work?
- Solo includes one person. Additional seats are $49 per person per month.
- Who owns the data?
- You do. Your business knowledge and operational foundation remain in accounts you control, giving you the freedom to choose compatible AI tools and maintain your foundation independently.
- Which AI tools work with Kernel?
- Kernel is designed to work with compatible AI tools, including Claude and ChatGPT. Available connections depend on your setup and plan. Additional integrations may require separately scoped work.
- Is the 5-Day Blueprint a trial?
- No. The Blueprint is a standalone, paid diagnostic engagement that provides an assessment and prioritized plan your business keeps. For more complex implementations, it can serve as the starting point before activation and ongoing maintenance.
