Diagnostic entry
The Business OS Diagnostic is the entry point: a teardown, scorecard, AI fit review, SaaS replacement map, and a recommended next step. Specific terms are confirmed when you book.
Pricing
Investment is scoped to the work, not quoted before the work is understood. Pricing is set in the proposal, after the diagnostic shows what actually needs replacing.
The engagement model
The Business OS Diagnostic is the entry point: a teardown, scorecard, AI fit review, SaaS replacement map, and a recommended next step. Specific terms are confirmed when you book.
The proposal turns the diagnostic into branded Business OS modules with a clear scope — Quick Win Build, Core Business OS, or Full Overhaul. Investment and ownership terms (what you own, what YInfra manages, what is exportable, and what happens if the engagement ends) are scoped here.
Once live, YInfra runs and maintains the operating layer — consolidating tools, training staff, and adding AI only where the workflow can support it. Ongoing terms are set in the proposal and service agreement.
The comparison
Most local businesses run 6 to 10 separate tools — separate bills, separate logins, and none of them fully integrated. At $800 to $2,400 per tool per year, that is roughly $4,800 to $24,000 in annual SaaS spend. The example stack below sits near the low end of that range; your actual number depends on which tools and tiers you run.
Cost
A typical local business runs on six to ten rented SaaS tools — website builder, booking, CRM, email and SMS, payments, reviews, forms, and scheduling. Separately billed, never integrated, and none of it truly yours. Average spend: $800–$2,400 per year per tool, compounding monthly, forever.
| Tool | Rented (avg/mo) | With YInfra |
|---|---|---|
| Website builder | $29/mo | Owned — included in your build |
| Online booking | $49/mo | Owned booking layer — connects to your calendar |
| CRM | $99/mo | Owned — live in your console |
| Email & SMS | $79/mo | Owned — branded email, connect-ready |
| Payment processing | 2.9% + 30¢ | Built in — your processor's same rates, zero extra tool |
| Reviews / reputation | $49/mo | Integrated — not a separate subscription |
| Forms | $29/mo | Owned — intake flows into CRM directly |
| Scheduling | $15/mo | Owned — booking layer included |
The rented stack above runs $349/mo — over $4,000/year — for tools that never talk to each other. A YInfra build replaces all of it with one owned operating layer, built to your spec, branded as yours. You pay to build it once; you own it after.

Investment and ownership
There is no menu price. The Business OS Diagnostic comes first; the overhaul proposal is where investment and ownership terms are scoped to the actual work.
The proposal sets what you own, what YInfra manages, what is exportable, and what happens if the engagement ends. Investment is scoped against the recommended path — never quoted before the diagnostic shows what needs replacing.
The three paths
The diagnostic ends with a recommended scope. Each path removes the highest-friction handoff first, then expands from there.
Narrowest scope
Replace the single highest-friction handoff first — the one leaking the most leads or staff time — and prove the owned layer before expanding.
Foundational layer
Stand up the core operating layer: intake, CRM and pipeline, booking, and follow-up wired together as one branded system the team uses daily.
End to end
Replace the rented stack end to end — presence, intake, CRM, email, payments, and automation — with AI added only where the workflow is stable enough to support it.
Pricing FAQ
A typical local business spends $800–$2,400 per tool per year. With 6–10 tools, that is $4,800–$24,000 in annual SaaS spend — for tools you don't own and can't take with you. A YInfra build replaces that stack with one owned operating layer; the investment is scoped in the overhaul proposal after the diagnostic.
The Business OS Diagnostic takes 1–2 weeks to deliver a full teardown and replacement map. The first Quick Win Build (the highest-friction handoff we identify) typically ships within 4–6 weeks of the diagnostic. Intake begins within 24–48 hours of a qualified consultation request on our rolling intake schedule.
For managed cloud clients, ownership means portable data, exportable configuration, clear exit rights, and client-specific workflow IP. Literal infrastructure ownership is the self-host deployment case.
