A Mentaria ProductOutcome Economics
The same outcome.
A fraction of the team. A tenth of the time.
Price the traditional product team it would take to reach your outcome — then see what Mentaria delivers it for. Every engagement is led by a Mentaria Product Sculptor and priced as a completed production outcome.

85% less
$867,000 returned to your roadmap — with hosting, data security, content operations and continuous evolution carried by Mentaria after launch.
10× faster
4 WEEKS to the same outcome instead of 9 MONTHS — every month earlier is a month of market and revenue ahead of a traditional build.
Why Mentaria costs a fraction
The gap above is not discounting — it is a different production system. A traditional team spends most of its budget before any outcome ships; Mentaria removes those structural costs.
01
No assembly
The team, tooling and processes exist on day one. No recruiting, no ramp-up, no months of onboarding before production begins.
02
Parallel production
Design, engineering, verification and operations run simultaneously instead of in sequence — the queue that inflates both time and cost disappears.
03
No idle capacity
Specialists join exactly when the work demands them. Nothing sits on a payroll between tasks, and capacity expands with the workload.
04
A team that never leaves
No attrition, no resignations, no knowledge-transfer projects. The people who built your system are still there for the next one — and everything they learned compounds instead of walking out the door.
05
Everything included
Hosting, data security, content management, observability and release operations are part of the Production Cycle — not extra line items.
06
Priced on outcomes
You buy a completed production outcome, not hours or headcount. The price tracks the scope of what ships, not the time it takes a queue.
Illustrative scoped comparison. The traditional figure uses fully-loaded market compensation (salary, benefits and overhead) for the roles selected, over the duration chosen. Mentaria figure is shown at 15% of the traditional team cost; engagements typically price at 10–20% of the equivalent team, scoped to the outcome. The time comparison assumes the same outcome delivered in parallel at one-tenth of the traditional timeline. Every engagement includes a dedicated Mentaria Product Sculptor.
