Automation Maintenance Retainer

Monthly monitoring, small tweaks, and updates so automations keep working as tools change.

$149/mo

$149 per month · SKU GND-RET-AUTO

What you are paying for

Automations rot when tools change. This monthly retainer keeps GND-built (or agreed) automations healthy: monitoring check-ins, small tweaks, and break/fix triage within a defined allowance.

Light retainers commonly $99–$300/mo; full MSP per-user plans are $100–$250+/user. This is solo/pro care—not a company-wide MSP.

Deliverables

  • Monthly health check summary
  • Priority email support for covered automations
  • Small change allowance (minor logic/tweak—not net-new projects)
  • Break/fix triage within plan capacity

Included

  • Coverage for automations listed in your retainer schedule
  • Best-effort same-week response for non-urgent issues

Not included

  • Net-new multi-day builds (quoted separately)
  • 24/7 NOC monitoring
  • On-site labor
  • Third-party subscription fees
  • Ongoing 24/7 monitoring unless on a written retainer that includes it
  • Enterprise compliance certifications (SOC 2, HIPAA BAA) unless separately contracted
  • Licenses for third-party software, VPN subscriptions, or cloud seats
  • Guaranteed outcomes with tools we do not control (vendor API outages, employer policy blocks)
  • Legal or HR advice

FAQ

What is a “small change”?

Adjusting filters, recipients, schedule, or minor branches—not redesigning an entire multi-app system.
