Imperix vs. Employee / contractor
Imperix vs. hiring an employee — which makes more sense?
A junior hire runs $3,500–6,000/month plus taxes, vacation and months of training before they're useful. Imperix delivers documented work in week one — and stopping means no notice period, no severance.
| Dimension | Employee / contractor | Imperix |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Junior full-time: $3,500–5,000/month + benefits + payroll tax. Contractor: $2,000–5,000/month with no exclusivity. | From $490/month. No payroll. Cancel in 30 days. |
| Scope | One person does one thing well. Multiple areas need multiple hires. | Research, content, organisation and analysis in one workspace. No per-area limit. |
| Availability | 8h/day in business hours. Holidays, sick days, turnover. | Every day. No holidays, no sick days, no notice period. |
| Risk | High junior turnover risk. Business context leaves with the person. | Persistent memory. What Akira learned about your business does not walk out the door. |
| Transparency | Depends on the individual. Hard to audit what was done. | Receipt for every execution. Third-party auditable. Exportable history. |
Hiring makes sense when you need physical presence, personal relationships, or a skill AI does not yet deliver well. For recurring research, content, organisation and analysis, Imperix delivers faster, cheaper, and with proof of every step.
