Engagement models

Start with proof, not a platform commitment.

We eliminate the six-month consulting cycle. Choose the engagement that matches your current governance maturity — and see results in your own environment before you commit to anything bigger.

Phase 01
Scoped Proof

A low-risk, four-week engagement. Connect one signal and one target, and see a real result — ending in an evidence pack from your own environment. No platform commitment.

  • One signal, one target, one population
  • Founder-led, start to finish
  • Real evidence pack you keep
  • We'll tell you honestly if we're not a fit

Phase 02 · Founding Partner
Founding Partner

For early adopters who want to shape the product. Direct founder access, influence over the roadmap, and optimized identity-based pricing in exchange for feedback and a reference.

  • Direct founder access & support
  • Roadmap influence
  • ~50% off first-year, identity-based pricing
  • Small 2026 cohort — deliberately limited
Become a founding partner
Phase 03
Enterprise

Full-scale governance deployment. Custom connectors, audit-ready compliance evidence, restricted-network deployment patterns, and dedicated technical success.

  • Custom connectors & integrations
  • Audit-ready compliance evidence
  • Restricted / on-prem deployment patterns
  • Dedicated technical success
Request enterprise quote

For context, a typical 5,000-identity deployment starts around $75k first-year for founding partners (vs. ~$150k standard). Final pricing depends on identity count, target-system complexity, evidence requirements, and deployment model — we'll scope a firm number with you. The founding-partner rate is locked for your first-year term; renewal pricing is scoped with you before it lapses — no surprise year-two spike. Illustrative example, not a quote.

The pricing philosophy

Priced like a product, not a project.

Built to minimize the “SI tax”

On most IGA projects the license is only a fraction of the real cost — the rest is the system-integrator tax of long consulting engagements. SidantiX is designed to deploy without a year-long integration project. Early engagements are run directly by the founding team, so you're working with the people who build the product, not a billable-hours machine.

Pricing that scales with what you govern

Pricing is based on the identities you govern, not the number of systems you connect — so you're never penalized for connecting more sources. One predictable basis, scoped with you up front, that you can defend to finance.

Common questions

The things buyers actually ask before signing.

What happens after the Scoped Proof?+
You keep the evidence pack — it's yours to hand to your auditor whether or not we go further. If the proof lands, we'll walk you through Founding Partner or Enterprise scoping in the same conversation, with pricing you can defend to finance. If it doesn't land, we tell you straight and part on good terms.
How long is a Founding Partner contract?+
Twelve months, renewable. The year-1 rate is locked; renewal pricing is scoped with you before year-1 lapses — no surprise year-two spike. Exit terms are in the order form, not buried in a click-through.
Do you support air-gapped or restricted-network deployments?+
Yes for restricted-network patterns via the outbound-only mTLS gateway — no inbound ports to open. Fully air-gapped requires a separate architecture review; we're happy to scope it, and we'll tell you plainly if it's not a fit.
Who actually does the work?+
Founder-led, start to finish, on Scoped Proof and Founding Partner engagements. You work with the person who built the product, not a billable-hours consultant. Enterprise deployments add a dedicated technical-success partner as scope grows.
How is "identity" counted?+
Any unique principal under governance — humans, service accounts, API keys, bots, AI agents. Correlated identities across systems count once. We don't charge per system connected — connect as many sources as you need.
What happens if we grow past our identity tier mid-year?+
You keep running. We'll flag when you cross a tier boundary and true up at renewal at the same locked rate — never a mid-year re-negotiation. No governance gap while procurement processes the change.

Let's scope it in your environment.

Tell us one workflow you'd like to see proven. We'll come back, founder to founder, with a scope and a firm number.
