Three steps, not a licence

Firms start with a diagnosis of a problem they already suspect they have, paid for from a budget that already exists. Each step is triggered by the last one working.

01 · Six weeks, one function

Diagnostic

£25k–£40k

+ VAT. Fixed scope, fixed fee.

Six weeks across one function. We score a real sample of your interactions and report what the current assurance process is not seeing, on your data, in your environment.

  • ✓ Scored against your existing QA output
  • ✓ Written findings, not a demo
  • ✓ Automated DPIA and governance pack
  • ✓ No platform commitment

Next step when: the findings justify continuous coverage.

Integration-led

API access — from £999 / month + VAT

How much does AI vulnerable customer detection cost?

EchoDepth for financial services is priced in three steps rather than as a single licence. A six-week diagnostic across one function costs £25,000 to £40,000 and reports what the current assurance process is not seeing, on the firm’s own data. An Index subscription covering one function continuously runs £60,000 to £120,000 a year. An Enterprise Index across every customer-facing function, reported at board level, starts at £250,000 a year. The comparison that matters is the assurance budget it replaces, not other software. A UK retail financial services firm with 1,000 frontline staff and two million interactions a year typically spends around £950,000 annually on quality assurance to review roughly 3% of them, plus a further £780,000 in Ombudsman case fees generated largely by the 97% nobody heard. Continuous coverage is bought from a budget that already exists.

Illustrative firm built from public regulatory data. Sources: FCA review of firms’ monitoring of consumer outcomes, July 2026; FOS case fee £650, proposed £680 for 2026/27.

Pricing questions

How quickly can we get started?+
Per-use API access can be provisioned within 2–3 working days of agreement. A volume subscription deployment including integration and governance documentation typically takes 3–4 weeks. Consultancy engagements are scoped individually but typically begin within 2 weeks of project agreement.
Is there a proof-of-concept option before committing?+
Yes. A structured proof of concept on your own data and workflows starts from £50,000 + VAT, with a full ROI analysis. The six-week diagnostic (£25,000–£40,000, one-off) is the lighter-weight alternative: fixed scope, written findings and no platform commitment.
What counts as an interaction?+
An interaction is one customer engagement submitted for analysis — a phone call, a video interaction, a chat session, or a document. Multi-modality analysis (voice + facial, for example) counts as one interaction towards volume, regardless of how many modalities are applied. Duration-based pricing is available for contact centres with very long average call times.
Can we white-label EchoDepth for our own compliance platform?+
Yes. White-label API deployment is available under the consultancy engagement model. Contact us to discuss commercial terms.

How is EchoDepth priced for financial services?

EchoDepth is priced as a three-step ladder rather than a single licence. Step one is a six-week diagnostic across one function at £25,000 to £40,000 + VAT: fixed scope, fixed fee, written findings on your own data and no platform commitment. Step two is an Index subscription covering one function continuously at £60,000 to £120,000 + VAT a year, priced on interaction volume and the number of channels scored. Step three is an Enterprise Index across every customer-facing function from £250,000 + VAT a year on a three-year term, including a per-client model trained inside your own security boundary. Firms building EchoDepth into their own workflow instead of buying a managed engagement can take API access from £999 + VAT a month; Index reporting, the FCA evidence pack and managed governance are not included at that tier.
