## Questions

### Why does an AI agent need a retainer?

Helpers drift. Tools change. Facts go stale. A launch-week demo dies without a weekly note, fact cleanup, and someone watching cost. Retainers start at $3,800 per month.

### What is the Circuit retainer?

Circuit is $6,800 per month and is the usual monthly plan. It is sold with a three-month minimum, then month to month. It includes monitoring, a weekly note, fact review, one small new connection per quarter, and same-day help during business hours.

### What does Signal include?

Signal is $3,800 per month: we watch quality, send a weekly digest, tidy the facts, and reply the next day if something breaks.

### What is the Helix retainer?

Helix is $11,500 per month: a named operating lead for several helpers, tighter response times, a quarterly redesign of the job, and a principal review of important decisions.

### Who pays for tokens and seats on retainer?

You do. Helixfield does not bury AI seats or usage inside the monthly fee.
