30 days to C3PAO-ready. $15,000 flat.
Most CMMC L2 engagements take 12–18 months and cost $70K–$300K. The PolicyCortex 30-day pilot compresses that into a fixed-scope, fixed-fee engagement run personally by a DoD Secret + DoE Q cleared founder. You walk away with an OSCAL evidence bundle the C3PAO already accepts.

What's NOT included for $15K?
Custom development beyond the standard CMMC scope. Multi-cloud or multi-tenant scope beyond a single primary account (additional accounts price separately). FedRAMP work (separate engagement). On-going post-pilot operations — the platform license continues after, see pricing.
What if we fail the C3PAO assessment?
The evidence package contains live-state evidence and continuous attestation. C3PAO failures are exceptionally rare when the pilot output is presented. If a C3PAO raises a concern not covered by the pilot output, we extend at no additional charge until resolved.
Can we choose our C3PAO?
Yes. The OSCAL package is C3PAO-agnostic. We don't lock you to an assessor.
Does pricing change for larger environments?
Single primary cloud account is $15K. Multi-cloud (AWS + Azure) or multi-tenant scope adds engagement fees scoped to your environment. Most defense contractors start with one cloud account and add scope post-pilot.
