What It Costs. What It Returns.

Most AI consultants don't publish pricing. We do.
Not because our work is simple or fixed — it isn't. But because you deserve to know the territory before investing time in a conversation. Research is consistent: buyers want to self-serve before they engage. We've designed this page for exactly that.

The honest caveat is that no published range can tell you what your engagement will actually cost. That only emerges from understanding your specific situation. Every investment is confirmed before any work begins — and the conversation that gets you there is always complimentary.

Prices without context are just numbers. Context is what the conversation is for.

We start with your comfort level We consider your current reality. Our goal is to help you realize quick benefits on your way to broader business evolution — on your timeline.
Investment, not overhead Time recovered through implementation has a dollar value. Most engagements pay for themselves within months — not years.
Scoped to your reality Ranges reflect genuine variation in complexity. You will never receive a proposal that wasn't built around your specific operation.
The investment case

What is your time actually worth?

Most consultants ask you to take the ROI on faith. Add each person affected by implementation, enter their hourly rate and estimated hours recovered per week, and see the math for yourself. The consulting fee is not the cost — the status quo is.

Select a service tier to see what typically determines the investment range for that engagement.

This calculator is deliberately conservative.

It only measures the value of time recovered. It does not account for revenue growth enabled by reclaimed capacity, error reduction, improved client experience, faster decision-making, or the compounding competitive advantage of operating with better systems than your competitors. The real return may be higher than what you see here — often significantly.

AI Opportunity & Strategy Assessment

Readiness Report An honest assessment of your current infrastructure, workflow, and team readiness for AI implementation.
Recommended Next Steps A sequenced action plan — what to do first, what to defer, and what to avoid entirely.
Investment Range $2,500–$12,000

Entry engagements typically $2,500–$5,000. Mid-scope $5,000–$7,000. Complex assessments up to $12,000. Final investment confirmed after a complimentary scoping conversation.
