# Kade — Signed isn't live. > Integration consultancy for API-first SaaS. We find where your go-lives stall, fix the worst bottleneck, and hand your team the playbook — without pulling engineers off the roadmap. Kade is a productized B2B consultancy for integration-heavy, API-first SaaS companies whose customer go-lives stall in implementation. When a product only earns money once the customer is integrated, every stalled go-live is signed revenue that can't be recognized yet. Kade diagnoses where onboarding breaks, removes the worst bottleneck, and systemizes it so the client's team runs it without heroics. - Location: Scarborough, ON - Contact: hello@wearekade.com - Website: https://wearekade.com - Status: pre-first-client — no testimonials, logos, or case studies. Credibility comes from the diagnostic method and honest, published pricing. ## Method — Score. Fix. Systemize. 1. Score (Diagnose) — We run your onboarding through the Integration Scorecard — thirty minutes per account, ten dimensions, no workshops. You see exactly where go-lives stall and which stall costs you the most. 2. Fix (Remove) — We take the worst bottleneck and remove it. Working sessions with your team, real tooling, real runbooks. A defined finish line — not a retainer that never ends. 3. Systemize (Systemize) — We turn the fix into a playbook your team runs without us. Every new deal scored, every go-live on a clock, no heroics required. You keep the machine. ## Offerings ### Scorecard Teardown — Diagnostic, 1 week, from $2,500 (Fixed quote) Know exactly why your go-lives stall. One week, no engineers pulled off the roadmap. You bring the accounts that have been 'in progress' the longest; we tell you where they're stuck and what each stall is costing you. What you get: A scored Integration Scorecard for every account you bring.; A ranked findings list — highest-cost stall first — with the cost of each one spelled out.; A one-page teardown summary you can hand to your board without translating it.; The raw scores and the walkthrough recording, yours to keep..

The teardown tells you what's wrong. The sprint fixes the worst of it — one bottleneck, scoped and quoted up front, finished with a real finish line instead of a retainer. What you get: The single highest-cost bottleneck removed — verified on a live go-live.; Runbooks for the workflow we fixed, written for your team to run.; Templates and tooling that stay in your stack after we leave.; A short handover: what changed, why, and how to keep it working.. URL: https://wearekade.com/offerings/go-live-sprint ### Embedded Partner — Partnership, Quarterly, from $8,000 (Per month) A go-live machine your team runs. Once the worst bottleneck is gone, the risk is drift. We stay embedded to keep the discipline in place — scoring new deals, reviewing every go-live — and keep handing the work back until you don't need us. What you get: A scored intake for every new deal, run by your team with us on hand.; A monthly go-live review: what slipped, what it cost, what changed.; A standing escalation line with a response time you can count on.; A quarterly playbook update as your product and your deals change..

Here's how we price instead. - Published anchors: Every engagement starts from the anchor below. No "it depends" until we've actually looked at your setup. - Fixed quote before we start: You get one number, in writing, before any work begins. If it takes us longer, that's our problem — not your invoice. - We say no fast: If we're not the right fix, you'll hear it on the first call. We'd rather lose a deal than invent work. Anchors: Scorecard Teardown from $2,500 (Fixed quote, 1 week); Go-Live Sprint from $15,000 (Fixed quote, 4–6 weeks); Embedded Partner from $8,000 (Per month, Quarterly). How a quote happens: The first call is where the number comes from. You walk us through the shape of it — how many accounts are stuck, how long they've been stuck, what getting them live is worth to you. If we've seen enough, you get a fixed quote by the end of that week: one number, in writing, before any work starts. If we haven't, we tell you exactly what we'd need to look at first — and looking is free. No discovery phase you pay for. No statement of work that takes longer to write than the fix takes to ship. ## FAQ Q: We already have a solutions team. A: Good — keep them. We're not a replacement, we're a diagnosis. Your solutions team is heads-down inside individual accounts; the scorecard looks across all of them and finds the pattern. Most of our findings end up executed by the team you already have. Q: Our integrations are too custom to score. A: "Everything is custom" is usually the first finding. The dimensions we score — docs, sandbox parity, error surfacing, webhook reliability, handoffs — exist in every integration business. If yours genuinely doesn't fit, the teardown will show that too, and it will have cost you a week. Q: What if you score us and nothing's wrong? A: Then you have a scored, documented answer to "why do go-lives take so long?" that says it isn't your onboarding — which is worth having when the board asks. We'd genuinely rather tell you that than invent work. Q: Do you write code or just recommendations? A: We ship what removes the bottleneck: runbooks, tooling, templates, and code when code is the fix. What we don't ship is a 60-page deck and a goodbye. Every engagement ends with something your team runs, not something they read. Q: Why fixed quotes instead of hourly? A: Because a meter running changes how both sides behave. A fixed quote means slow is our problem, not your invoice. It also keeps us honest about scope — we only take engagements where we can see the finish line. ## Key pages - Home: https://wearekade.com/ - Pricing: https://wearekade.com/pricing - Scorecard Teardown: https://wearekade.com/offerings/scorecard-teardown - Go-Live Sprint: https://wearekade.com/offerings/go-live-sprint - Embedded Partner: https://wearekade.com/offerings/embedded-partner - Book a 20-minute call: https://wearekade.com/book (or email hello@wearekade.com) --- Generated for AI assistants and LLM search.
