Common questions about pricing and procurement
Is CE Canvas pricing public?
The structure is; the figures are tailored. CE Canvas is a fixed-fee guided pilot, an annual subscription priced by organization size band and user count, or a per-workspace plan for consultants. Because the right figure depends on your organization type, size, project volume and the services you want, we send an indicative figure rather than publishing a range.
Request an indicative figureHow is a guided pilot priced?
As a fixed fee for one real project over a set period, governed by success measures agreed before it starts. Where commercially appropriate, pilot fees are credited toward the first annual subscription.
What does the annual subscription include?
Unlimited projects for the subscribing organization or department, every lifecycle stage and the AI assistant, configuration of your strategy or framework, portfolio reporting and an annual practice review.
How do we justify the cost to finance?
The business case is built on reduced planning, coordination, analysis and reporting effort, less rework between projects, faster onboarding and stronger auditability. Public trust and defensibility are stated as strategic benefits, not as invented dollar values.
Can we buy without a tender?
Often. The procurement toolkit includes a sole-source justification template, vendor information and funding guides for Canada, the United States and Australia, and the pilot is sized to sit under common delegated purchasing thresholds.
