Pricing — Published, Not Negotiated

The price shown is your price.

Most compliance software vendors won't tell you what they charge until they've qualified your budget. We think that's a tell. Here is what Crucible costs.

No sales call required.

Founding Charter — Open Now

50% off everything for 36 months.

For the first 36 installations we take on — across any tier, any vertical, any facility size. First come, first served. When the slots close, this rate closes with them.

  • 50% off product and Sage update services for 36 months
  • Installation fees waived (Tier B's $3,500/install → $0)
  • First month due when Crucible goes live — not at contract signing, not during build. You pay when you can use the product.
  • 36-month rate lock at the charter rate you sign at

Crucible is sold as a product, not a SaaS subscription. You pay three things: an annual license that grants the right to run Crucible on your installations, a per-install fee at activation of each deployment, and a monthly update subscription that keeps your regulatory corpus current.

Hardware is purchased separately by you or your client, from whatever vendor you prefer. We recommend minimums; we don't resell boxes.

No negotiation. No custom quote. No "enterprise pricing" that means "we saw your company size and tripled it."

Tier-C rates
Volume discounts at 6+, 11+, 26+ installs
Charter
50% off
All per-install fees waived · First month at install-ready

Designed for

  • Chains with 3+ facilities under one compliance function
  • Critical access hospitals on the state-agency survey path
  • Small operators who've been priced out of enterprise GRC
  • Facilities whose accreditor doesn't lock content behind paywalls

Why this exists

  • The enterprise suites want six-figure commitments and 9-month implementations
  • That math doesn't work for operators below a certain size
  • We built Crucible so the math does work here

Same product, same updates

  • Not a stripped tier — the full Crucible install at every facility
  • Same Sage corpus, same gap assessment, same audit packet generation

What every tier includes

What is never included at any price

Founding-client charter pricing is available.

Crucible is new, and the founding cohort of clients shapes what the product becomes. Charter clients receive preferred pricing locked for 36 months, direct engineering access, and a voice in the roadmap — in exchange for testimonial rights and regulatory-surface hardening time. This is how we intend to build the company.

It is a joint venture, not a trial.
