Frontier Hours
Monthly Frontier Hours for any Data Arcade engagement — (rate shown when signed in) a month includes 10 hours, with more in 4-hour lots. No fixed project scope required.
Overview
Frontier Hours are a monthly block of Frontier Consultant time that you can point at any Data Arcade engagement type: AI and Gen AI work, BI and analytics, data governance, infrastructure, or ad-hoc advisory. No fixed project scope required.
The subscription starts at (rate shown when signed in) a month and includes 10 Frontier Hours. Add hours in 4-hour lots at (rate shown when signed in) each; every lot beyond 26 hours a month is 10% off. Critical requests get a response within 2 business hours, and the subscription has a 3-month minimum term.
Ideal for smaller, well-defined asks that don't need a full fixed-scope package: a focused build, a second opinion on an architecture decision, extending an existing engagement, or trying Data Arcade on a small piece of work before committing to something larger.
