Beam SOP Debt Threshold

Beam does not automate a process, it automates a written procedure. The platform converts uploaded SOPs (up to 200 pages) into self-learning agents that hit 98% accuracy across finance, HR, and operations work, but only after the client's process is documented well enough to train on. That makes SOP quality the real cost driver in any agency engagement. A client with a clean invoice reconciliation procedure can reach high automation inside one workflow; a client whose accounts receivable process lives in three people's heads will consume the 28-hour setup budget on discovery alone. Price the audit before the build. The Beam SMB SOP Starter at $3,500 covers one SOP mapped, one agent built, and one integration, which is the honest unit of delivery. Anything beyond that is a second engagement, not scope creep absorbed into the first retainer.
