Contact SalesPUBLICUS PROCUREMENT AGENT · GOVERNMENT ENGAGEMENT PRICING
Engagements scale with accuracy, complexity, and volume.
A government engagement configures the Publicus platform for your department's documents and delivers a permanent capability. Its price is driven by the accuracy your workflow requires, the complexity of your source documents, and how many document types must be configured. A short, single-source engagement is a fraction of a multi-source platform build.
Accuracy required
Each additional "nine" of accuracy costs multiplicatively more — ensemble validation, human-in-the-loop review, per-record evidence.
90% → 95% → 99% → 99.9% → 99.99%
Document complexity
Structured data — ERP extracts, proactive-disclosure tables — parses cheaply. Unstructured documents — contracts, invoices, task authorizations — need OCR, vision models, and content-aware extraction, categorically more work.
structured → semi → unstructured
Number of document types
How many distinct document types must be configured. Configuration is one-time; the pipeline then processes that type forever, with no reconfiguration.
1 type · short → many types · platform
Configuration cost per document type
The largest part of an engagement is one-time configuration: teaching the platform a document type to the target accuracy. Each cell is the cost to configure one document type at that accuracy and complexity — this is what an engagement is priced on.
Cost = $16,020 base × accuracy factor × complexity factor · rates shown at the 1–3 type tier; volume discounts below.
Read any cell as the base configuration cost ($16,020) times its accuracy and complexity factors. The 99.9% row is the high-assurance tier most government workflows need. The 99.99% mission-critical tier above it (near-zero error tolerance, for regulatory or financial workflows) costs more again, so a 99.9% engagement is deliberately not the most expensive option. A lower-accuracy, structured engagement costs a fraction of either. An engagement's total is the sum of its configured types, plus ongoing processing (priced separately, below).
Volume discounts on configuration
The per-type rate drops as more document types are configured in one engagement (99.9% rates shown).
| Document types configured | Unstructured type | Structured source |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 types | $132,980 / type | $64,080 / source |
| 4–10 types | $112,030 / type (−16%) | $54,470 / source (−15%) |
| 11+ types | $92,750 / type (−30%) | $44,860 / source (−30%) |
What one configuration includes
One-time engineering to teach the platform a document type to the target accuracy.
- 1Document schema + layout analysis
- 2Extraction-model tuning for the type
- 3Field mapping + taxonomy alignment
- 4Validation ruleset development
- 5Test-corpus accuracy tuning to threshold
- 6Bilingual handling setup
Reaching high accuracy on a new document type takes hundreds of senior-engineering hours and embeds a pre-built multi-agent platform. Comparable custom data-engineering integrations run $500,000 to $1,000,000+ per long-term pipeline. Each configured type is a permanent capability — built once, it processes that document type forever. This configuration, not per-page processing, is what a platform engagement is priced on.
Ongoing processing — per page & per query
A distinct pricing model from engagement configuration. Once the platform is configured, processing additional documents and running natural-language queries is priced per unit at the standard rates below. This is how you pay for more after the platform exists — it is not the basis of the engagement price above.
Per-page processing
Enrichment processing of additional documents through an already-configured pipeline, beyond the in-contract corpus. The per-page rate drops as annual volume rises.
| Annual volume tier | Rate per page | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50,000 pages | $0.68 / page | — |
| 50,001 – 200,000 pages | $0.55 / page | −19% |
| 200,001 – 500,000 pages | $0.45 / page | −34% |
| 500,001 – 1,000,000 pages | $0.38 / page | −44% |
| 1,000,001+ pages | $0.30 / page | −56% |
What one processed page includes
Every page passes through the full pipeline — not raw OCR.
- 1Ingestion + layout/format detection
- 2OCR + vision-model pass (unstructured)
- 3Multi-agent field extraction
- 4Taxonomy classification
- 5Vendor name resolution / deduplication
- 6Cross-document linking
- 7Accuracy validation (ensemble + judged; human-in-the-loop at 99.9%)
- 8Lineage + audit logging
- 9Bilingual (EN/FR) processing where applicable
Natural-language queries
Token-based pricing for natural-language queries beyond the contracted volume. Tiers apply to combined input and output tokens consumed per month; volume discounts apply.
| Monthly tokens | Input / 1K | Output / 1K |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10M | $0.60 | $3.00 |
| 10M – 50M | $0.51 (−15%) | $2.55 (−15%) |
| 50M – 250M | $0.42 (−30%) | $2.10 (−30%) |
| 250M+ | $0.33 (−45%) | $1.65 (−45%) |
What one query includes
One billed query is the output of a full pipeline — many model calls, retrieval, citation, audit — not a single raw model call.
- 1Query understanding
- 2Embedding + vector retrieval across the corpus
- 3Re-ranking of retrieved passages
- 4Context assembly
- 5Answer generation
- 6Citation linking to source records
- 7Audit logging
- 8Bilingual parity check
