What a Claude deployment actually looks like for a small business
Not the demo. The Tuesday-afternoon reality of running a studio on Claude: what it does, the rules that keep it safe, and what a deployment costs.
Read →We help individuals and small businesses get real value from Claude: a fixed-price Desktop setup for one person, or a scoped rollout for your team with rules, integrations and supervision.
Excludes the Anthropic subscription, billed to you directly in US dollars.
Scope and price depend on how many systems Claude needs to reach.
The personal setup is a fixed R5,000. Business rollouts are quoted in rand after a short mapping call, because the cost is in the setup and supervision, not the software. Anthropic bills the subscription directly, so you are never locked in through us.
We use Claude every day to build and run the platforms on this site — so when we set it up for your business, it's grounded in real engineering, not a slide deck.
From a single Pro account to a team rollout with custom assistants on the Claude API, we handle the setup, the governance and the training, then stay on to support it.
Claude and the Claude logo are products of Anthropic. Chronon provides independent deployment, integration and support services.
A personal Claude Desktop setup is a fixed R5,000: the right plan, the apps installed, your email, calendar and files connected, three working projects, a prompt library and two hours of training. Business rollouts are quoted after a mapping call because the cost is in the setup and supervision, not the software.
See the full breakdown of both packages, what each includes and how a rollout runs on the Claude packages page.
We run our own studio on Claude every day: it reads server logs, pulls monthly reports from Google Analytics, Search Console and Ad Manager through their APIs, loads advertising bookings and drafts correspondence, all under rules that keep a person in charge of anything that leaves the building. That experience is what you are paying for.
Anthropic bills the subscription directly in US dollars per seat. Our personal Desktop setup is R5,000 once-off; business rollouts are quoted after a mapping call. Full details are on the Claude packages page.
Anthropic does not train on business or API data. We connect Claude through scoped service accounts so it sees what a task needs, not the whole company, and sensitive data stays on infrastructure you control.
First-draft correspondence, reporting from systems with APIs, research and summarising, data cleanup, documentation and monitoring. Anything repetitive and judgement-light where a person checks the output. It is not a replacement for the person; it is the junior who never sleeps.
Claude Code is the developer and operations tool: Claude working in a terminal with access to servers, repositories and APIs. Most small businesses do not need it on day one. It is included in a Business rollout when Claude is going to run infrastructure or reporting for you.
A personal Desktop setup is done in a week. A business rollout is typically two to three weeks: mapping, access, rules, two weeks supervised, then handover with a playbook and a monthly review.
