The things people ask before they buy.

No. Saintilco Consulting is independent. Workday does not sponsor, endorse, review or approve anything on this site, and nothing here should be read as a Workday position.

A vendor has no reason to tell you what to push back on in your own Order Form.

Yes. Workday publishes it, and the credit rates here come from it. Workday does not publish a dollar price per credit.

Allotment tiers are third-party reported and labeled that way. If your contracted rates differ, you change seven cells, not the spreadsheet.

They answer different questions. Workday's estimator lives inside the tenant, covers one agent (the BP Optimize Agent) from your own event history, and is labeled informational only.

This calculator answers the portfolio question: what every agent together costs for the year in dollars, which month the allotment runs out, and the exposure at 1.5x, 2x and 3x.

It works before you buy anything, and a per-agent estimate from Workday's tool sharpens it. Checked against Workday's documentation, October 2026.

A consulting practice that publishes its working papers. The calculator, the kit and the workshop are the same body of work at three levels of depth.

The practice is Workday Financials: AI agent cost forecasting, grants and sponsored programs, and project billing. Underneath all three sit the same controls and evidence questions.

The credit work applies as it does to any Workday Financials owner, with one difference. If agent use is charged to sponsored awards, someone will have to substantiate the allocation.

More usefully, I work on grants configuration against what audits find: effort substantiation, award-to-worktag integrity, cost-transfer evidence, and whether your tenant can produce it.

This is advisory work: I review, score and tell you where the exposure is. I do not run implementations, and help with a specific fix is quoted separately.

Yes. I review Workday Projects and PSA setups: revenue recognition, project billing, and whether the contracts in your tenant match the ones you signed. If you need a team to build it, I will point you to one.

Three files, by email download link, usually within a few hours and always within one business day:

• A consumption model spreadsheet with the full rate and tier logic, stress-tested at 1.5x, 2x and 3x.
• A thirty-eight question tenant readiness assessment, scored across seven dimensions.
• A twelve-page contract and Order Form negotiation checklist, as a PDF.

The kit page shows the real output of the first two, numbers and all, before you pay anything.

No, it is a company license. Share it with systems, finance, procurement and internal audit at no extra cost. The readiness questions need all four to answer them.

What the license does not permit is redistribution outside your organization, resale, or use as the basis of a competing commercial product.

Thirty days, no questions asked, and you do not have to delete the files. Email the address at the bottom of this page and say the word refund.

A refund policy is a guarantee that costs the seller something.

Run the free calculator first. If your annual overage exposure is four thousand dollars, do not buy an $850 kit to manage it, and do not book a $4,500 workshop. That verdict is written into the calculator.

The kit is for a team that can do the work once it knows what the work is. The workshop is for when four people each own a quarter of the answer. The kit comes with the workshop, so never buy both.

The kit and the reviews take card through a hosted payment link, with bank transfer at checkout. Workshops are invoiced on standard net terms and can go through procurement; a W-9 is available on request.

If your team needs a vendor form or a specific insurance certificate before raising a purchase order, say so early. I will tell you straight away whether I can meet it.

Every published price is below the $15,000 federal micro-purchase threshold, and the documents sit under most corporate card limits. Prices are fixed and paid by card or invoice.

Your own purchasing policy still applies, so check it before you buy. If it needs a PO and a W-9 first, ask for an invoice.

Not for the kit or the calculator. Both are built to be run entirely by you, on your side, with nothing sent anywhere. The calculator does its arithmetic in your browser and stores nothing.

For the workshop, no access is required either. Your team drives their own screen. If you would rather grant a read-only sandbox account instead, that works too, but it is your choice and not a condition.

This is a new practice under this name, and I will not put invented quotes on a page to cover that. The consulting experience behind it runs nine years deep and is on the about page; the products are new.

What stands in for a reference: the free tool is a working piece of the paid model, the paid output is shown before you pay, the price is published, and the refund runs thirty days. Four things you can check today.

Large firms do this work too, usually inside a larger engagement. I review the configuration alone, for a fixed price.

The second difference is that the reviews here are priced on the page.

An implementation partner is paid to build, so more configuration is often their answer. I review for a fixed price, and help with a fix afterwards is a separate fixed fee.

Nothing from a prior engagement appears here: no tenant, configuration or finding. Clients are named only with their permission, Geode Health and Ibotta among them, and otherwise by role and sector.

If a consultant will name their last client to you, assume they will name you to their next one.

No, it is commercial and systems guidance. The contract checklist tells you which clauses to take to your counsel and what to ask, but it is not a substitute for counsel and does not tell you what your contract means.

The grants material points at what auditors look for. It does not constitute an audit opinion.
