PRICING
Start with a proof of concept
Every engagement begins as a scoped proof of concept on your own ingredients, so you see the method and the evidence before committing further. Three formats, depending on how much of your portfolio you want to put in scope.
POC 1
Exploratory POC
A first proof of value on a single ingredient.
excl. VAT · 4 weeks
- 1 ingredient to substitute
- Configurable constraints
- 20–50 candidate shortlist
- XAI ranking
- Decision-ready report
POC 2
Industrial POC
For R&D and innovation teams taking a decision to committee.
excl. VAT · 8 weeks
- 2–3 ingredients
- Multi-criteria scoring
- Regulatory + function review
- Visual map of alternatives
- Committee-ready PDF report
POC 3
Strategic Pilot
Portfolio-wide, for enterprise decision-making.
excl. VAT · 12 weeks
- Portfolio-level view
- Dashboard prototype
- Advanced XAI
- Integration roadmap
- Executive summary
The figures above are entry prices, excluding VAT. Every engagement is quoted on scope once we have discussed your ingredients and constraints, and the quote is fixed in writing before any work starts.

{{TODO: confirm whether the engagements are cumulative — the table shows only what each POC's own scope lists, so a dash means 'not listed for that tier', not necessarily 'excluded'}}
Included in every engagement
An NDA before anything technical
We sign before you share a structure, a formulation or a supplier constraint.
Your structures stay yours
Never shared with other customers, never used to train shared models.
Explainable output
Every candidate comes with the reasoning and constraints it was scored against — not a black-box score.
A written quote before we start
Fixed scope, fixed deliverables and a fixed timeline, agreed in writing.
What moves the number
Ingredients in scope
The main driver. One ingredient is a contained study; a portfolio view is a different exercise.
Depth of the analysis
A ranked shortlist, multi-criteria scoring, or a full regulatory and function review.
Deliverables
A decision-ready report, a committee-ready document, or a working dashboard prototype.
Integration
Whether the engagement stops at findings or extends to a roadmap for your own systems.
Before you ask
Can we sign an NDA before sharing anything?
Yes. We sign an NDA before any technical discussion, and before you send us a structure, a formulation or a supplier constraint.
What do you need from us to start?
A source ingredient — a name, a CAS number or a SMILES string — and the constraints that matter to you: safety, sourcing, cost or regulatory status. No proprietary formula is required to scope the work.
Is this only for cosmetics?
Cosmetics has the deepest coverage today, and that is where these engagements are most mature. The same engine applies to polymers, materials and metallurgy — tell us your domain and we will say honestly where it stands.
What happens after the proof of concept?
{{TODO: describe what follows a POC — an ongoing licence, a further engagement, nothing? State whether the POC fee is credited against it, since buyers ask this before committing}}
What are the payment terms?
{{TODO: state the payment schedule, e.g. 40% on signature and 60% on delivery, and the invoicing terms}}
Tell us what you need to substitute
Send us the ingredient and the constraint that is forcing the decision. We will come back with the format that fits and a written quote.
