Pricing
Operational insurance, priced like it.
Anchor starts at $15,000 a year. From there, you pay for the people you choose to protect, not your whole headcount, and every quote is built to sit under the cost of a single departure.
The base
From $15,000 / year
That is the platform and your managed retention cycles, the starting point for a focused group of your most critical roles. What you add above the base depends on how many of your people you want Anchor to read, and we build that number with you, in a conversation, never off a shelf.
Why the rest is a conversation, not a price tag: the right coverage for a fifty-person specialist crew and a two-thousand-person multi-site operation are not the same, and pretending otherwise with a single per-head sticker would overcharge one and underserve the other. So we build it honestly, together.
How a quote is built.
Three plain rules, the same for everyone. No tiers to game, no negotiation theater.
You pay for the people you protect.
Not your whole headcount. You choose the roles that are hard to replace, the specialists and the people you can least afford to lose, and Anchor is priced around that group. A large company protecting a focused team pays for that team, not for everyone with a badge.
One number, built for you.
Above the base, your price is built from the roles you put under Anchor and the cadence you want. There is no menu to decode and no per-seat tax buried in the fine print. We build the number together, on a call, and you see exactly how it is made.
Priced to sit under one departure.
This is the fairness test we hold ourselves to. A team’s annual price should sit below the cost of losing a single person from it. Prevent one departure and Anchor has paid for itself. That is the line every quote has to clear.
What every engagement includes
The same product, whatever the size.
The Pneuma engine
A full retention analysis for each person you put under Anchor. One honest read, the near-term flight risk, the conversation scripts, and the one move that matters this quarter.
Managed analysis cycles
Two analysis cycles a year on the standard plan. Each cycle re-reads your people and refreshes every manager’s plan, so the picture never goes stale.
Reaches the whole team
A private link, no app to install and no portal to learn. It reaches the people a dashboard never will, on the floor, the unit, the job site, or the road.
Built-in privacy
Raw answers and personality scores stay with the engine and reach no one. Managers receive only the finished plan, never the raw data, and never a tool for grading people.
A good person leaving may never move this quarter’s margin. It moves the project the moment they walk, and the margin pays for it later, when no one can trace why.
Gallup puts the cost of replacing an employee at one-half to two times their annual salary, and calls that conservative. For the senior and specialized people you can least afford to lose, independent research runs higher still.
Set Anchor against that loss. The price of protecting a team for a year sits below the cost of losing one person from it. Prevent a single departure and it has paid for itself. That is not an HR line item. It is operational insurance.
Founding partners
A small founding cohort is forming.
A handful of companies are coming on as founding partners, working directly with the founder and locking a rate that holds for three years. If you want in early, that is part of the conversation.
