What a revenue data integrity assessment costs (and what you get)
Groundwork's assessment is $15,000 fixed and takes two weeks. Here is exactly what the fee buys, what remediation costs after it, and how the credit works.

$15,000, fixed. Two weeks. The fee credits in full toward a remediation sprint signed within 90 days, so if the assessment leads to a fix, the diagnosis effectively costs nothing.
That's the entire pricing model for Groundwork's Revenue Data Integrity Assessment. This page exists because in this category that sentence is unusual. Advisory work here is mostly priced by proposal, after a discovery call, and you're expected to sit through the call to learn the number. We'd rather you knew the number before we ever talk.
What the $15,000 buys
The assessment is a static scan of your org's own configuration. It never touches your live org and never reads a live record. In two weeks you get:
- A 0–100 Revenue Data Integrity Score with per-signal bands, so you can see exactly which practices pass and which fail, not a single blended grade.
- Your top three exposures, in dollars. Not a maturity model; a ranked list of where your numbers are most likely to fail an outside check, sized in money.
- A sequenced remediation roadmap, scoped tightly enough that the fix can be priced from it.
- A baseline. Whatever gets fixed afterward is measured against this scan, so improvement is provable rather than asserted.
What remediation costs after the assessment
The assessment prices the fix. It does not commit you to one.
- Remediation Sprint: $45K to $120K, fixed. Six to twelve weeks, scoped from the assessment roadmap into one of three tracks: Forecast Accuracy, NRR/GRR & Retention, or Cross-System Reconciliation. Acceptance is a re-scan proving the risk is closed. Not included: CRM migrations, billing-system replacement, net-new integrations.
- Revenue Governance Retainer: $7,500 per month (Governance) or $12,500 per month (Operating), for teams that want the number to stay defensible quarter after quarter. Quarterly re-scan and scorecard, drift and access reviews, and a board-week support window.
- For PE and VC sponsors: assessments across a fund's portfolio plus a portfolio-level risk readout for the operating partner, from $60,000 per quarter.
Everything is fixed-fee. Nothing is hourly.
How the credit works, in plain math
Sign a remediation sprint within 90 days of the assessment and the full $15,000 counts toward the sprint fee. On a $60,000 sprint you pay $45,000 more, and the diagnostic was free. Past 90 days the credit lapses, because a stale scan is a stale scope.
The first-week rule
If the assessment isn't surfacing material findings, you'll know inside week one, not at the end of the engagement. And if your numbers hold, you bought proof they hold, right before someone outside the building checks them.
Why the price is published
Two reasons. First, the buyer for this work is usually a CFO or a controller, and finance buyers plan against numbers, not against "it depends." A fixed fee they can put in a budget beats a range they have to negotiate out of a stranger. Second, publishing the price is the same discipline the work itself sells: a number you can't defend is worse than no number, and that standard applies to our pricing before it applies to your ARR.
Where to start
Before the assessment there is a free step. The Revenue Intelligence Benchmark scores forecast accuracy, retention integrity (NRR/GRR), and cross-system reconciliation in twelve questions, about five minutes, no email required. It tells you where you'd get flagged first, and whether the $15,000 question is worth asking at all.
