Services

Three phases. One partnership.

We don't hand you a report and disappear. We embed in your engineering cycle — starting with strategy, building automation and assurance, and staying on to make sure it holds.

01 / STRATEGY

QA & AI Governance Audit

from $950 · fixed scope · 1 week

A structured assessment of your quality maturity and your AI exposure — coverage gaps, automation readiness, and where AI is making decisions in your product that a regulator, auditor, or customer could challenge.

Coverage & tooling assessment Risk mapping AI decisioning inventory EU AI Act / DORA readiness
  • Current state & tooling assessment
  • AI feature & decisioning inventory
  • Automation readiness scoring
  • Bias & safety exposure flagging
  • Prioritized strategic roadmap
  • Regulatory readiness scorecard
02 / BUILD

Automation & Assurance Build

from $1,499/mo · seat-based · month-to-month

We design and build your test automation framework, integrated into your CI/CD pipeline — and where your product ships AI features, we build adversarial test suites alongside it, in the same pipeline.

Framework architecture CI/CD integration Adversarial / red-team suites Bias & behavior test cases
  • Framework architecture & tooling
  • Prompt injection & jailbreak test cases
  • Automation suite development
  • Bias / fairness scenario testing
  • CI/CD pipeline integration
  • Full handoff documentation
03 / MONITOR

Pipeline & AI Risk Monitoring

from $2,800/mo · ongoing · cancel anytime

Ongoing embedded oversight — monthly pipeline health, failure triage, and a recurring pass on AI behavior so drift, new bias exposure, or new AI features never ship un-audited.

Health reports Failure triage Quarterly AI behavior audit
  • Monthly pipeline health reports
  • Failure triage & root cause
  • Coverage optimization
  • Quarterly AI red-team pass
  • Quarterly strategy review
  • Drift & bias monitoring
Pricing

QA that fits a startup budget.
Not the other way around.

Senior QA leadership — six years in production-scale quality engineering — priced for teams who don't have a QA hire yet, not for teams who already have a budget line for one.

Start here — zero risk

QA Risk Audit

A focused, one-week look at where your product is most likely to break — critical paths, untested edge cases, and (if you're shipping AI features) where model behavior hasn't been stress-tested. You get a prioritized report you can hand straight to your engineers. No retainer, no follow-up call required.

Why now

Your QA audit and your AI audit used to be two different vendors. Now they're the same risk.

Regulators aren't waiting for AI features to mature before they ask how you tested them. If your product makes decisions — pricing, lending, fraud flags, support responses — someone will eventually ask you to prove it was audited. We'd rather that someone was us, three months ago.

Why Clariva QA

The partner that doesn't disappear after delivery

Most QA firms hand you a report and leave. Most AI-audit firms have never shipped a regression suite. We stay embedded across both — attending sprint reviews, holding the full picture of your quality and governance posture.

FAQ

Questions founders actually ask

If yours isn't here, book the audit call and ask directly.

We're pre-revenue. Is $799/month too early for us?

If you have paying users or a launch date on the calendar, it's usually the right time — the Risk Audit is a lower-commitment way to find out first, with no obligation to continue.

Can we cancel or downgrade mid-month?

Yes. Plans are month-to-month with no contracts or minimum terms. Scale a seat up, down, or pause it entirely before your next billing date — no penalty, no negotiation required.

Do you only work with fintech companies?

No — any startup shipping fast benefits from fractional QA. Fintech and companies with AI-driven features get extra value, since regulatory and AI-risk exposure is built into every plan from Growth up.

How does billing work if you're based outside the US?

Standard international contractor setup — a signed statement of work, invoicing in USD, and payment via wire or Wise. You'll complete a simple W-8BEN form; no US tax withholding applies since the work is performed remotely.

What if we outgrow this and want a full-time hire?

That's a good problem. Most teams use a fractional seat exactly until they can justify a full-time QA hire — we'll tell you honestly when that point is closer than you think, and can help scope the role.

Start with the audit. Decide from there.

30 minutes, no pitch — just an honest look at where your quality and AI governance stand today, and what's next.
