Free Tool
Scope & Fee Estimator
Scope and price a full AI transformation engagement in seconds. Get an hour range, a fee band, an engagement tier, and a positioning line you can paste straight into a proposal.
Scope the engagement
Larger clients mean more stakeholders and coordination.
How many people you will interview across the engagement.
Reports, roadmaps, workshops, and artifacts you will produce.
Compression raises the fee; a relaxed timeline lowers it.
Estimated scope
This scopes as a Standard engagement: roughly 110-148 hours at a $16,500-$33,500 fee.
This scopes the full engagement (discovery, design, and implementation oversight). To price the discovery phase on its own, use the Audit Pricing Calculator.
Scope the whole engagement, not just discovery
Most scoping tools price the diagnostic. This one sizes the full body of work: discovery, design, and the oversight it takes to see an AI transformation through. If you are quoting an end-to-end engagement, that distinction matters. Price only the discovery and you leave money on the table; price the whole thing off a gut number and you either underquote or scare the client off.
How it differs from the pricing calculator
The Audit Pricing Calculator prices the discovery phase on its own: the structured diagnostic that ends with a recommendation and a roadmap. This tool prices the full engagement that discovery kicks off. Run the pricing calculator to set your discovery fee, then use this estimator when the client asks what the whole transformation costs.
Who it is built for
- Boutique AI consulting firms quoting end-to-end transformation work, not just a diagnostic.
- Practice leads and principals who need a defensible fee band before the scoping call.
- Multi-seat teams standardizing how associates scope and price engagements.
What each estimate returns
Every run returns an hour range, a fee band rounded to the nearest $500, an engagement tier (Pilot, Standard, Extended, or Enterprise), and a paste-ready positioning line that names the tier and the fee band. Copy the line straight into a proposal or a follow-up message.
