Engagement

How We Work Together

This is not a software license. It is not a platform subscription. And it is absolutely not another login the shop's estimator has to remember. Collision Intelligence operates on a hybrid managed-service model: James Bonaguro configures the Routines, tunes the triggers, monitors the outputs, and keeps the integration warm with CCC, Mitchell, ARMS, and the OEM portals. Anthropic's infrastructure runs the compute. The shop does exactly one thing — read the results. Agent outputs land in Slack, email, or a mobile text message. Supplements land back in CCC ONE with the justification lines pre-populated. The estimator reviews and approves. The operator sees the ROI report on the first of the month. This page lays out the three pricing tiers, the pilot program, and the four-week implementation roadmap from handshake to live revenue capture.

The Managed Model

The collision industry has been burned by SaaS. Another dashboard, another seat license, another implementation consultant. The managed model is the opposite: the shop never touches the machinery. Three parties. Three jobs. No handoff friction.

Architect
James Bonaguro
Configures Routines, tunes triggers, monitors outputs, escalates edge cases.
Runtime
Anthropic Cloud
Routines execute 24/7 on Anthropic infrastructure. No shop servers. No downtime.
Beneficiary
The Shop
Receives outputs in existing channels. Reviews. Approves. Collects the capture.

No New Software

No dashboard rollout. No user provisioning. No training week. The shop's SMS stays the system of record — agents integrate upstream and downstream of it.

No New Logins

Outputs route to the channels the shop already reads: Slack, email, SMS, or directly into the CCC ONE workfile as line items.

Human-in-the-Loop

Every supplement line, every sublet reconciliation, every rental extension is surfaced for estimator approval via session URL. The agent proposes; the human confirms.

Monthly ROI Report

First business day of every month: a single PDF showing lines captured, hours saved, liability events documented, and dollars recovered. The report defends the invoice.

Engagement Principle

The shop pays for outcomes, not seats. If the agent does not produce, the agent is gone. The managed model keeps the incentives aligned.

Three-Tier Pricing

Pricing is engineered to be transparent, outcome-anchored, and obviously profitable for the shop. Every tier clears its fee inside the first week of monthly capture based on the figures documented in the ROI Framework. Setup fees are one-time, non-recurring, and cover integration, trigger configuration, and the first two weeks of active tuning.

Reflex Tier
$650 /mo
+ one-time $1,500 setup

A single agent, deployed and monitored. Typically Agent 04 (E01 Predictor) — the flagship teardown defender.

  • One agent deployed (client's choice)
  • 24/7 Anthropic cloud execution
  • Session URL handoff for human approval
  • Routine prompt updates quarterly
  • Monthly ROI report
  • Email + Slack output channels
  • Single CCC / Mitchell integration
Operator Tier
$3,200 /mo
+ one-time $6,000 setup

All five agents, plus custom agent development as new pain points emerge. Built for MSOs and high-volume independents.

  • All five agents deployed and orchestrated
  • 24/7 Anthropic cloud execution
  • Session URL handoff for human approval
  • Routine prompt updates continuous
  • Monthly ROI report + quarterly review
  • All output channels + custom webhooks
  • Full ecosystem integration
  • Custom agent development (one per quarter)
  • Weekly 30-min strategy call
  • Priority incident response

All tiers billed monthly. Annual prepay available at 10% discount. Setup fees invoiced at contract signature; monthly billing begins on production go-live date.

The Pilot Program

The first three shops to sign establish the case studies that carry the next thirty. The pilot program is engineered to reduce the shop's risk to near zero and to produce published, verifiable proof within the first 30 days.

First 3 Shops Only

Pilot Program Terms

Intersection Strategies is actively recruiting the first three collision facilities to deploy the full five-agent stack. Pilot partners receive discounted setup, a hard 30-day ROI guarantee, and become the case studies that anchor the next phase of rollout.

Benefit 01

50% Off Setup

Setup fee discounted by half across every tier. Reflex drops to $750; Stack to $1,750; Operator to $3,000.

Benefit 02

30-Day Proof Guarantee

If Agent 04 (flagship) does not produce measurable ROI within 30 days, full refund and clean exit. No clawback clauses.

Benefit 03

Case Study Rights

In exchange for permission to publish the case study, the shop receives a discounted ongoing monthly fee for the duration of the engagement.

Benefit 04

Strategic Co-Design

Monthly 30-minute strategy call to prioritize the next agent based on the shop's specific pain points. Pilots shape the roadmap.

Implementation Roadmap

Four weeks from signed contract to live production revenue capture. No six-month consulting engagement. No training week. The roadmap below is the actual schedule — not a marketing timeline.

Figure 1 — 28-Day Implementation Timeline
Discovery to live revenue capture in four weeks
Week 1 — Discovery Week 2 — Build Week 3 — Deploy Week 4 — Review Discovery call + audit Pain point mapping CCC / Mitchell / ARMS access API keys + sandbox Flagship agent configuration Agent 04 trigger build Test against historical workfiles Backfit testing Production trigger activation Live deployment Monitoring + ROI report Month 1 ROI report Day 0 — Contract Day 14 — Go-Live Day 28 — First Report
  1. Week 1 — Discovery & Audit

    Ninety-minute discovery call with the operator. Audit the SMS (CCC ONE / Mitchell RepairCenter), the DRP mix, the sublet vendor roster, and the rental portal usage. Map the top three daily frictions with specific dollar attribution. Output: integration scope + flagship agent selection.

  2. Week 2 — Build

    API credentials provisioned in the Anthropic workspace. Sandbox integration established with CCC Secure Share or Mitchell Connect. Flagship agent Routine configured, prompt-tuned, and tested against 10–15 historical workfiles supplied by the shop. Output: working agent running against test data.

  3. Week 3 — Deploy

    Trigger activated against live production data. Estimator trained on the session URL approval workflow (15-minute walkthrough). Monitoring dashboard instrumented. Daily check-ins for the first five business days. Output: agent producing live recommendations, estimator approving or declining each one.

  4. Week 4 — Review

    First monthly ROI report delivered: lines captured, hours saved, dollars recovered. Debrief call to identify next pain point for Stack or Operator tier expansion. Shop decides to stay on Reflex, upgrade to Stack, or jump directly to Operator. Output: the shop has proof in hand and a path to more.

What's Not in Scope

Clarity on what this engagement does not do is as important as what it does. Boundaries protect the shop from over-promised software and protect Intersection Strategies from scope creep that dilutes outcomes.

Not a CCC Replacement

We integrate with CCC ONE, Mitchell RepairCenter, and Audatex Qapter. We do not replace them. The estimating database remains the shop's system of record. Agents operate around the SMS, not in place of it.

Not a Repair Advisor

We do not tell the technician how to fix the vehicle. Agents are administrative — they handle documentation, supplementation, and portal friction. Diagnostic and structural decisions remain with the licensed technician and I-CAR-certified repair planner.

Not Legal Counsel

Agent 04 generates documentation that supports mechanics lien defense. Agent 05 generates EV compliance logs. Neither is a substitute for retained counsel. When litigation arrives, the documentation helps — the attorney still prosecutes.

Next Steps — After You Say Yes

The mechanical path from interest to live agent runs through five checkpoints. All five happen inside the first ten business days. Nothing requires the shop to hire, provision, or deploy anything internally.

  1. Book the 30-Minute Discovery Call

    A focused conversation to confirm the SMS, the DRP mix, and the immediate pain. No pitch deck. The flagship agent is selected before the call ends.

  2. Sign the MSA + Data-Sharing Agreement

    Standard master services agreement plus the data-sharing exhibit. Intersection Strategies operates under NY DFS Part 500 TPSP compliance — the paperwork protects the shop's handling of nonpublic information.

  3. Provision API Credentials

    Shop provisions read/write access to CCC Secure Share, Mitchell Connect, or Audatex APIGateway as applicable. ARMS/HIRS portal credentials shared via password manager. Typically one to three business days.

  4. Schedule the Integration Window

    A two-hour technical window with the shop's IT contact (or CCC/Mitchell support rep). All integration work happens cloud-to-cloud — nothing installed on shop hardware.

  5. Go Live

    Agent fires on the first qualifying production trigger. First session URL lands in the estimator's Slack or email. The capture begins — and the monthly ROI report starts accumulating from day one.

Book a 30-Minute Discovery Call

The agent stack is already configured. The integrations are already tested. The ROI math is already documented. The only missing piece is the first production trigger — and that is a fifteen-minute conversation away.
