✽ Your path, your choice
Edapho design pricing pathways
Designed for Edapho to deploy.
Streamlined plan built for our crew. Internal sourcing, simpler documentation, faster turnaround. The lower number in each module.
Designed for you to deploy.
Contractor-ready plan with detailed specs, part list, application protocols, and decision-support documentation. More documentation, more work, more value if you're handling execution yourself.
The Category Modules
Each category can be designed at one of three depths. Most projects mix and match. Full Design where it matters most, Recommendations Only where lighter touch is enough.

Structural Complexity Adders
How this works. Project realities that change the design workload. Here are a few examples of our complexity adders. Quoted at scoping, locked into the Design contract, no surprises after the fact.
Unusual site conditions (steep terrain, remote access, wetland complexity) +$500 Cross-category integration design (when modules interact significantly) +$400 Multi-property aggregation (per additional property beyond first) +$400 Registry-specific reporting templates (per additional registry) +$600 Stacked credit program design (per additional credit type) +$500 Existing infrastructure to integrate (each major system) +$300 Pre-existing baseline data review and integration +$500 Multiple contractors or operators to coordinate +$600 Conservation easement or permit coordination +$400What pricing actually looks like.
Built from scoping conversations with developers, landowners, and aggregators. Pricing reflects the design phase only. Diagnostic costs and deployment are separate.
Example One
50-acre cropland operator running a soil carbon pilot under one registry. Targeting verified soil carbon credits with biodiversity co-benefit documentation.
- Base Fee: $1,000
- Chemistry: Product Design — $1,400
- Biology: Product Design — $1,400
- Practice: Product Design — $1,650
- Verification: Product Design — $2,200
- Adders: Registry templates — +$600 (no other adders)
Example Two
