The behavioral profile — a scored assessment against the standard — is offered at no cost. The diagnostic and blueprint are fixed-scope paid engagements with defined deliverables. The operating layer is commissioned as capital expenditure, scoped against the blueprint, with cost scaling based on the building's complexity, the number of systems involved, and the breadth of domains commissioned. The behavioral warranty is operational expenditure, priced per unit per month. For buildings in development, the specification is a design-stage engagement priced as part of the pre-construction budget.

The behavioral profile takes 2–3 weeks. A full diagnostic takes 4–6 weeks. The behavioral blueprint takes 2–4 weeks. Commissioning the operating layer takes 4–6 months. These timelines are typical — each engagement is scoped individually based on the building's complexity and the breadth of domains being commissioned.

Yes. Each stage produces a standalone deliverable. The behavioral profile gives you a scored assessment. The diagnostic gives you a prioritized analysis. The blueprint gives you an architectural plan you could take to any integrator. The operating layer gives you permanent infrastructure. You can stop after any stage and use what you have — with Apareé or without.

For buildings in development, the behavioral specification is designed alongside the building's architectural and engineering plans — at the same stage as mechanical and electrical specifications. The blueprint defines how the building should behave before anything is built. The operating layer is commissioned during construction and is running at handover. The building opens with its experience layer already in place.

The architecture is designed for portfolio scale. The cloud core is built once — same behavioral logic, same standard — and each building is set up within the same system. Adding a new building requires on-site integration (connecting physical systems and installing an edge gateway), while the core applies the behavioral standard to the new property. Every building in the portfolio is scored against the same specification, making performance comparable domain by domain across properties.

Every behavioral blueprint is authored to the specific building. No two are identical. The building's installed systems, resident profile, brand positioning, and operational context shape how the standard's expectations are met. The blueprint process is collaborative — designed alongside the building's team.

Yes. Commissioning expands domain by domain. Most engagements begin with Support — it recovers the most staff time and has the most visible impact on resident perception. Additional domains are commissioned when the building is ready, following the same arc: baseline, design, commission.

The behavioral profile scores the building against the standard, domain by domain. It shows where behavior is strong, where gaps exist, and what each gap means for operations and resident experience. It is offered at no cost because it serves as the foundation for every engagement — and because a building owner should be able to understand where their building stands before committing to anything.
