Ramped designs, builds, hosts, and operates AI agents inside your business — the same operational model you'd expect from an outsourced IT or marketing firm. One monthly fee. One team. One accountable partner. Live in 30 days, compounding ever after. No $350K consulting engagement. No 6-month strategy deck.
Pick a scenario and see what the agent does — classification, retrieval, action, draft. Try the Live call scenario to see the agent answer the phone, qualify a prospect in conversation, and fan out five downstream actions the moment the call ends.
What you're seeing is the same shape as the Week-1 agent we deploy in every Ramp Sprint — classifier, RAG over your knowledge base, action against your system of record (CRM / EHR / ServiceTitan / NetSuite / etc.), drafted output with a configurable approval gate. In a real Sprint this is wired to your live inbox or phone line by Friday of week one. For voice, the agent picks up, converses with the caller in natural language, and the moment the call ends it fans out to every downstream system that needs to know — CRM, calendar, email, Slack, quoting tool — so your rep picks up the thread already briefed.
This is what your dispatcher sees. Plain-English requests become real writes against the scheduling system — book, move, cancel, query. Every tool call is logged in-line so your team can audit every change the agent made. Same pattern, swapped to your CRM, ERP, EHR, or ticketing system.
The agent translates plain English into tool calls against the scheduling API — add_appointment, move_appointment, cancel_appointment, list_slots. Every call is shown in the chat as an audit trail. In production this is the same pattern wired to your system of record with permissioning, approval gates, and write-back to your CRM.
Our CEO runs Xtractor Depot — a real cannabis-extraction equipment company doing real revenue. Before we sold this service to anyone, he deployed agents inside XD's email, quoting, and operations stack. The Ramp Sprint is that exact path, stripped of the trial-and-error, productized for you.
The name is the promise. By day 30 you have agents in production, your team trained, and a metrics readout proving impact. If we miss, we extend at our cost until you're Fully Ramped. That's the refund clause operationalized.
Accenture wants $350K to start and six months of strategy phases. Deloitte’s minimum is $500K. Neither is rational for a $30M cannabis processor or a regional SNF group. Ramped is built explicitly for SMB and lower-mid-market operators — Pro starts at $5K setup + $1,500/mo (half the setup doesn’t bill until we’re live), Max is custom, live in 2–3 weeks. Less than 1/10th of an enterprise consulting engagement. Same outcomes. Actually shipped.
Cannabis-extraction equipment company. The CEO ran the playbook on his own P&L before any of this was a service.
"It's been a huge game-changer for my company. I'd pay 4× what we pay now before I'd give it up — losing it would feel like losing the internet. Honestly — life-changing."
Directional figures from Xtractor Depot's first three months with the agent in production. Final attested numbers will be locked in the formal XD case-study write-up (per Section 11 of the strategy package).
Same playbook, every Sprint. Reverse-engineered from what worked at Xtractor Depot, then stripped of the trial-and-error.
Half-day working session. Lock the two workflows. Capture baseline metrics on a whiteboard. Photograph it — those are the numbers we beat on day 30.
First agent (typically email) handles real traffic by Friday. High-touch human review on every draft. End-of-week ceremony.
Build the harder workflow — quoting, intake, dispatch. Week-1 agent graduates to selective review. Day-15 checkpoint with your CEO.
Both agents on live traffic, light review. Training session 1 — "how your agent thinks." Runbooks drafted.
Exception-only review. Training sessions 2 & 3. Metrics dashboard + SOPs + escalation paths handed over.
60-min readout. Baseline vs. day-30 numbers. Certificate. Ops cadence is already live — this is a celebration, not a renewal pitch.
Ongoing monitoring, quarterly tune-ups, one new agent per year, Slack channel with SLA. Your team owns the agents; we keep them sharp as volume grows.
The Thailand consultant charges $6,000/day. Deloitte won’t take the call under $200K. We start at $5K up front and $1,500/month — flat fees, recurring relationship, and half the setup ($2,500) is held back until we’re live and producing work. Two tiers below. Discovery call is free.
Setup is 50% at kickoff, 50% at Fully Ramped (four gates: integrations live, operators trained, production tasks running, dashboard up). Monthly fee begins day 1 of month 2 — your first 30 days cover setup only. 12-month initial term runs from the monthly-fee start, month-to-month after. Mac mini on-prem appliance (for teams that need the AI running inside their own four walls): +$5K setup, +$500/mo. If you go over Max’s monthly task count, we bill extra usage at a flat per-task rate — we’ll show you the math before it bills.
We hold the Anthropic enterprise contract. Tokens are bundled into your monthly fee with usage bands and transparent overage pricing. You get one invoice, one vendor, one accountable partner.
You sign Anthropic directly — native, AWS Bedrock, or Google Vertex — and give Ramped API keys. We still host and operate. Better fit for banks, health systems, and anyone needing a direct BAA with the model vendor.
Ramped hosts the infrastructure, either way. In Managed (the default), Ramped holds the Anthropic contract and bills tokens as part of your monthly fee with usage bands — one invoice, one vendor. In Direct, you sign your own Anthropic contract (direct, Bedrock, or Vertex) and we operate against your keys — your BAA, your terms. Same agents, same engineers, same operating platform — the commercial wrapper is your choice.
30 minutes with Jon. We walk your team through how Ramped would work for your specific operation, what the first agents look like, what it would cost, and whether a Sprint would move a number for you. A big part of the call is a quick tech-stack and API-access review — what systems you already run (ERP, CRM, accounting, e-comm, phones, inbox, EHR) and which of them have usable API access. That’s the question that decides whether you’re a Pro in two weeks or a Max in four, so we get it out of the way on day one. If Ramped isn’t a fit, we’ll say so — the Xtractor Depot playbook doesn’t map cleanly to every business and we’re better off knowing that now than at week three.
Available if you genuinely can’t commit to a 12-month partnership. Priced at its true cost-to-deliver without the recurring relationship to amortize against. We’ll ask why — and we’ll generally steer you back to the Partnership at $5K + $1,500/mo.
Whether you’re on Managed (we bundle AI usage into your monthly fee) or Direct (you see the Anthropic bill yourself), the math is the same — and it’s our job to keep it small. Where we move the number is in how the agents are built: use a cheaper AI model for simple tasks, reserve the expensive one for hard tasks, cache repeat content, send the AI only the relevant paragraphs instead of the whole document, batch work where we can. That mix typically cuts AI spend 30–50% vs. a first-pass build someone’s nephew does over a weekend.
There’s also no new hardware line item. Our platform runs on a small private cloud we manage, or on a Mac mini appliance we ship you if you need the AI running inside your own building. No GPUs to buy. No “AI infrastructure” CapEx conversation.
| Cost lever | Naïve API build | Ramped build |
|---|---|---|
| Which AI model runs each task | Uses the expensive model for everything | Cheap model first, expensive model only when it earns it |
| Repeated content | Re-sent to the AI every time | Cached once, billed at a fraction |
| How much context we send | Whole document, every request | Only the paragraphs that matter |
| Hardware / where it runs | Often a new server or cloud line item | Ramped-managed cloud, or a Mac mini we ship you |
| Typical AI spend vs. baseline | 100% | 30–50% lower |
| Who holds the Anthropic contract | Varies — often opaque | Your choice: Managed (we do) or Direct (you do) |
Ramped participates in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network and operates strictly under Anthropic’s Commercial Terms. We don’t bundle, mark up, or resell subscription access. Full stop.
No. The AI model is one piece. The work is in the wiring — prompts tuned to your industry and your language, a search layer over your SOPs and product catalog so the agent answers from your documents (not the open internet), hookups to your CRM, ERP, inbox, and phones, automated quality checks that catch the kinds of mistakes a human reviewer would, clear handoff rules for when the agent isn’t sure, and a human-approval step on anything you want signed off before it leaves the building. Claude is the engine. The agent is the car.
Your choice. On Ramped Managed (our default for SMBs), we hold the Anthropic contract and bundle AI usage into your monthly fee with transparent volume bands — one invoice, one vendor. On Ramped Direct (our default for regulated clients), you sign Anthropic directly (via Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, or Google Vertex) and we operate against your API keys — your compliance agreement, your contract terms. Either way, Ramped charges for engineering and operations, not an AI markup. We participate in Anthropic’s Claude Partner Network and run under their Commercial Terms. Where we save you money is in how the agents are built — smart model selection, caching, sending only what’s relevant — typically 30–50% below a first-pass build.
For healthcare, we deploy under your enterprise terms with a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in place — non-negotiable. Compliance scoping is the reason healthcare Sprints run 3 weeks of setup instead of 2 — we’d rather pay that time up front than have legal kill the engagement at week 4. For cannabis, we handle COA docs, Metrc logs, and the state rulebook as searchable knowledge for the agent. For field services, we sit alongside ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro without owning the system of record.
The monthly Operate & Improve phase kicks in. It’s signed on day zero alongside the Sprint, so there’s no renewal conversation at day 30 — the partnership is already in force. You get runbooks, training recordings, automated quality checks, and a metrics dashboard. We handle monitoring, quarterly tune-ups, one new agent per year, and a quarterly business review. 12-month initial term, month-to-month after — you’re never locked in past the first year.
We extend the engagement at our cost until you’re Fully Ramped. The criteria are written into the contract: agents running on your real inbox and phones, your team can adjust the agent without us, and a measurable improvement on the workflow we targeted. If those aren’t true on day 30, we keep working until they are.
Not a pitch. We'll ask what's actually breaking in your operation, share the Xtractor Depot model adapted to your business, and tell you straight whether a Sprint would move a number for you. If it wouldn't, we'll say so.
