Commercial model

Pricing follows the business process, deployment posture, and operating responsibility.

Kaia is not a generic per-seat tool. Buyers start with a vertical process product, then expand into connected intelligence, implementation, or managed AI operations as the process and control boundary mature.

Productization is the platform working — arriving knowing your industry, compounding every expert correction. You buy a governed product, not a build project.
