# grai for Executive PR and Thought Leadership Agencies (2026) > **Last verified against public pricing and vendor documentation:** 2026-10-29 > **Canonical URL:** https://grai.page/vs/pr-agencies **Direct Answer:** A PR agency sells one scarce asset: a C-suite voice that sounds like the executive and not like the agency. `grai` Agency ($149 once) calibrates up to 25 executive voices in local SQLite, enforces the same 6 rules and `CV >= 0.32` floor on every draft, and prints an A4 Client Voice DNA Dossier signed with a SHA-256 hash for each one. ### TL;DR Comparison | Option | Best For | Starting Price | Key Difference | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **`grai`** (Agency $149) | Comms teams that hold several executive voices and must prove the writing is bespoke. | **$149 once** (25 profiles) | Local workbench, air-gapped by default, per-executive profiles and printable SHA-256 A4 Dossiers. | | **Manual style guides** | Agencies that sell a long discovery process as part of the retainer. | **Weeks of billable time** | A document of adjectives that drifts the moment a new writer takes over. | --- ## 1. The Executive Voice Problem An executive's LinkedIn presence is now a board-level asset, which means the writing has to survive legal review, a comms lead and a ghostwriter without losing the person. That is a hard constraint, and a style guide of adjectives does not satisfy it. PR teams also hold sensitive material. An unpublished earnings note or a crisis statement should not sit in a cloud writing tool by default. `grai` runs in the browser with `connect-src 'none'` in the shipped kit, so the draft stays on the machine. The Agency Edition adds the two things a comms team actually needs: separate profiles per executive, and a one-page A4 dossier that proves the voice was measured rather than guessed. --- ## 2. Where the Agency Edition Fits ### Before the draft - **Profile the executive:** 5 to 20 published posts in, a measured cadence profile out. - **Lock the target:** sentence-length distribution and the `CV >= 0.32` floor are explicit. - **Keep it local:** the profile sits in local SQLite on the agency machine. ### After the draft - **Gate every version:** 6 syntactic rules and the rhythm floor, with the exact failed spans. - **Print the dossier:** an A4 Client Voice DNA Dossier with a SHA-256 hash the client can verify. - **Repeat per executive:** up to 25 isolated profiles in one licence. --- ## 3. Side-by-Side Technical and Commercial Matrix | Criterion | grai Agency ($149 once) | Cloud writing tool plus a style guide | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Price model | **$149 once** for 25 executive profiles | Per-seat monthly fees, plus the discovery project | | Voice proof | A4 Dossier with a SHA-256 hash per executive | A document that can change without a trace | | Data boundary | Local by default, `connect-src 'none'` in the shipped kit | Drafts stored in a vendor cloud | | Gate | 6 rules and `CV >= 0.32`, deterministic | A model opinion, if anything | | Capacity | 25 isolated profiles in one local workbench | One workspace per seat | | What happens if you stop paying | You keep `grai.html` and the `.grai` files | Access stops | --- ## 4. 12-Month and 24-Month Total Cost Comparison | Setup | Month 1 | 12-Month Total | 24-Month Total | What Is Included | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Cloud writing seats, five people** | $75 | $900 | $1,800 | Shared workspace and a monthly subscription | | **`grai` Agency Edition** (one-time) | $149 | $149 | $149 | 25 executive profiles, local gate and A4 Dossiers | | **`grai` Founder Edition** (one-time, solo) | $69 | $69 | $69 | One profile and the full gate | | **Upgrade from Founder** | $80 | $80 | $80 | The difference to the Agency licence | --- ## 5. Privacy and Data Flow Boundary - **Shipped Pre-Built Kit (`grai.html`):** Ships with a Content Security Policy (`default-src 'none'; style-src 'unsafe-inline'; font-src data:; img-src data:; script-src 'unsafe-inline'; connect-src 'none'; object-src 'none'; base-uri 'none'`) that allows inline styles and inline scripts (plus `data:` fonts and images) while blocking direct API connections (`connect-src 'none'`) from the page. Out of the box, it runs in Copy-Paste mode. - **Browser Storage:** Voice profiles and writing samples (along with drafts) are stored in your browser's `localStorage` when available. If your browser settings or private-browsing mode block `localStorage` on local `file://` pages, `grai` falls back to in-memory session storage (`memStorage`), which lasts until the tab closes. Export a `.grai` backup file to save your profiles permanently to disk. - **Why this matters for PR:** unpublished executive statements and crisis drafts are often confidential. The shipped kit blocks network calls with `connect-src 'none'` and keeps every profile local, so the only time text leaves the machine is when a person chooses to send it. --- ## 6. Verdict: Which Should You Choose? **Choose grai Agency ($149 once) if:** your team holds several executive voices and the client asks how the writing stays bespoke. The dossier answers that question with a measurement. **Keep the cloud suite if:** the team needs collaborative editing and approval workflows. grai is not a document editor and does not try to be. **Run both if:** the draft is written in the tools the team already uses, and grai is the gate plus the client-facing proof before it ships. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is grai suitable for confidential executive material? The shipped kit runs with `connect-src 'none'`, so the draft and the profiles stay in the browser. A custom source build with a BYOK provider sends text only when a person triggers a model call. ### How many executives can one Agency licence hold? Up to 25 isolated Client Voice Profiles in local SQLite, each with its own A4 Client Voice DNA Dossier signed with a SHA-256 hash. ### Does it replace a PR agency? No. It measures and protects the executive voice inside the agency's process. Strategy, media relations and the client relationship stay with the team. **Checkout:** [Founder Edition ($69 once)](https://payhip.com/b/5pXfN) | [Agency Edition ($149 once)](https://payhip.com/b/QVIBp)
