What drives AI project cost

Set each driver to how it applies to your project. This indicates scope size, not a price; we quote after a short discovery.

01Use-case complexity

Simple Q&A differs from multi-step agents.

02Data volume and quality

Cleaning and structuring data takes effort.

03Integration depth

Connecting to CRM, ERP and internal systems.

04Model and usage costs

Running costs depend on model choice and volume.

05Safety and compliance

Human review, auditing and privacy requirements.

06Evaluation

Building reliable test sets and monitoring.

Running costs to plan for

Beyond the build, AI systems have ongoing costs.

  • Model or API usage charged per request or token
  • Vector database or search hosting
  • Cloud infrastructure and monitoring
  • Periodic evaluation and prompt or data updates

Pricing questions, answered

It depends on the data sources, integrations, channels and safety requirements. We usually scope a proof of value first, then price the production build.

Yes: model or API usage, hosting and monitoring. We design to keep these predictable and estimate them up front.

Yes. A time-boxed proof of value is the recommended way to start.

Opportunity workshops and roadmaps are scoped as a defined engagement.
