Engagement Model

Engagement Models — Sovereign Operations Pricing Structure | CryptoMize

Engagement models for sovereign operations: CryptoMize delivers three principal models — Capability-as-a-Service, Sovereign Operations Partnership, and Joint Capability Development — each calibrated to client scope, threat profile, and operational maturity.

1. Capability-as-a-Service (CaaS)

The CaaS model delivers sovereign operations as a continuous capability. The client subscribes to the operational capability (24/7 monitoring, threat detection, response, and intelligence operations) on an annual contract with quarterly reviews and continuous capability updates.

CaaS is the right model when: the client needs continuous operational capability; the threat environment is ongoing; the engagement is long-term; the operational capability is the primary value.

CaaS is the most common model for cybersecurity, intelligence, and ongoing monitoring engagements. Annual cost is calibrated to scope, coverage, and response protocols.

2. Sovereign Operations Partnership (SOP)

The SOP model delivers sovereign operations as a strategic partnership. The client and CryptoMize co-invest in capability development, share operational intelligence, and align on long-term objectives. The partnership includes dedicated resources, custom capability development, and strategic alignment.

SOP is the right model when: the client needs a strategic partnership rather than a service relationship; the engagement is long-term and strategic; the client and CryptoMize have aligned long-term objectives; the operational capability is critical to the client's mission.

SOP is the most common model for national governments, defense institutions, and Fortune 100 strategic engagements. The partnership structure is more flexible than CaaS and may include equity, joint ventures, or long-term capability co-development.

3. Joint Capability Development (JCD)

The JCD model delivers sovereign operations as a joint development engagement. The client and CryptoMize jointly develop the operational capability, with CryptoMize providing the technology, methodology, and operational support, and the client providing the operational context and requirements.

JCD is the right model when: the client has unique operational requirements; the capability must be tailored to the client's specific needs; the client and CryptoMize have a long-term strategic relationship; the engagement involves custom capability development.

JCD is the most common model for governments, defense, and critical infrastructure with unique operational requirements. The development engagement produces a tailored capability that may be deployed at additional clients in the future.

4. Engagement Decision Framework

The CaaS model is the right choice when: the client needs continuous operational capability; the threat environment is ongoing; the engagement is bounded by service-level requirements.

The SOP model is the right choice when: the client needs a strategic partnership; the engagement is long-term; the client and CryptoMize have aligned long-term objectives; the operational capability is critical to the client's mission.

The JCD model is the right choice when: the client has unique operational requirements; the capability must be tailored to the client's specific needs; the engagement involves custom capability development.

5. Engagement Duration

CaaS engagements are typically annual with quarterly reviews. SOP engagements are typically 3-5 year partnerships with annual reviews. JCD engagements are typically 6-18 months for the development phase followed by CaaS or SOP for ongoing operations.

6. Pricing Structure

CryptoMize sovereign operations pricing is calibrated to client scope, threat profile, coverage requirements, and engagement model. Annual cost varies based on the capability surface, the platforms deployed, the response protocols, and the team assigned.

The pricing is structured to align with the value delivered: monitoring capability, threat detection, response protocols, intelligence operations, and compliance reporting. Detailed pricing is provided in the engagement proposal following the confidential briefing.
