No hourly rate and no per-task arithmetic. We look at what your product does, tell you which band it sits in, and that is the price. The first year of hosting is included.
Up to about four straightforward steps, one hand at a time, with generous tolerances.
Typical: a boxed food mix, a spray bottle, an appliance with one control.
Up to about eight steps, including coordinated work where both hands do different things at once.
Typical: an espresso machine, a cordless drill with a chuck, a blender with a locking jug.
Fine assembly, sub-centimetre tolerances, or steps where the fingers hide the very thing they are working on.
Why no number: this is the frontier of what our rig measures reliably. We assess it first and either quote honestly, or tell you it is not a fit yet and refund your deposit.
A $500 deposit reserves your slot and is credited against the total. Your hosting renewal rate stays locked at the rate you signed at.
The same deliverables whichever band your product lands in. The band sets the price, not what you get.
Two real products, the steps we would document for each, and why each lands in the band it does. Shipping is excluded from both and quoted separately.
Why Band 1: every step is a large single-handed motion with centimetres of tolerance, and the hand stays well observed by the camera the whole way through, so the solve is reliable on the first pass. The bill of materials ("3 eggs, ½ cup oil, 1 cup water") travels inside the manifest.
Why Band 2: locking the portafilter and tamping need both hands solved well at the same time, and the hand facing away from the camera is always the harder one, so it earns its own verification pass. A descaling sequence with small-button steps would push this into Band 3 and be quoted separately.
No surprises at invoice time. If it is not on this page, we will not bill you for it.
We need your product's geometry to place the hands against it correctly. Waived entirely if you send CAD in any format: STEP, STL, OBJ or native. Your CAD is better than our scan, so this one is in both our interests.
Product changed, steps renamed, bill of materials updated, or a new language. A data-only revision against the same capture, published to the tag your label already carries.
A second SKU performing the same steps on near-identical geometry, such as a different colourway or size. Its own tag and manifest, without a second full capture.
If you change the product enough that the captured motion no longer applies, it is a new capture at the band rate. We will say so up front rather than quietly re-publishing stale data.
You ship the product to the studio at your cost. We email the address once your deposit clears, and turnaround begins the day it arrives.
Optional. Tick the box on the form below and we will quote the return cost before shipping. Anything not returned is held as reference only with your written approval, or securely disposed of.
Your first 12 months are included in the price above. After that, a low monthly fee keeps the manifest resolving and the viewer maintained. Your printed label points at our resolver and nobody can recall a label once it is in the wild. If hosting were expensive, tags would go dark the moment a budget got cut, which would wreck the one thing this product is for. The money is in captures, not rent.
For one to a handful of SKUs. Billed per tag; cancel or resume at any time.
For a product line. Identical features to Tag; what you are buying is a better per-tag rate and a single line on your books.
Tell us how to reach you and where to ship your product back. A deposit secures your slot; we'll send payment details and a return shipping quote after you submit.
