What This Revenue Model Is

Most organisations have legal counsel on retainer. Almost none have an AI crisis strategist on retainer. That gap is the subscription. The organisations that subscribe before a crisis hits pay a fraction of what they would pay after one already has. The risk is already inside the organisation. The retainer is cheaper than the headline.

A monthly subscription for on-call AI crisis capacity.

The pitch is standing capacity: an always-ready team for AI-driven crises, sold as a subscription rather than a project.

There is no published benchmark for this packaging yet. The figures are anchored to AI advisory retainers, which run $5,000 to $15,000 a month for standard scope and $15,000 to $50,000 for full partnership.

Modeled. No direct market data exists for crisis-subscription pricing; treat these as estimates anchored to adjacent AI retainer data (KumoHQ, Dan Cumberland Labs, 2025-2026).

Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.

The Two-Axis Placement
