Frequently Asked Questions

AI projects typically range from $50,000 for a focused proof-of-concept to $500,000+ for enterprise-grade platforms. The biggest cost drivers are data pipeline complexity, model training requirements, and the number of third-party integrations.
Data readiness has the largest impact — clean, structured data can cut costs by 30–40%. Other factors include model complexity (fine-tuned vs. off-the-shelf), real-time vs. batch processing requirements, and regulatory compliance needs.
A focused AI feature (e.g., recommendation engine, document classifier) takes 8–12 weeks. Full AI platforms with multiple models, dashboards, and integrations typically take 16–24 weeks.
