What This Revenue Model Is
An organisation is in the second month of an AI implementation that is already over budget, under-delivering, and generating internal resistance, and nobody stopped to ask whether the data was clean, whether the governance existed, or whether the team was actually ready before the vendor signed the contract. The technology was never the problem. The readiness assessment was the step nobody took.
A fixed-fee assessment that de-risks the big spend.
The assessment is the highest-leverage thing most firms skip: a few thousand dollars to find out whether a $100,000-plus build will actually work. That is an easy yes for a buyer.
AI readiness assessments run $2,000 to $8,000 for small business and $7,000 to $35,000 for enterprise, typically delivered in two to four weeks.
Benchmarked to 2025-2026 AI assessment pricing (RTS Labs, Cabin, The AI Consulting Network).
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
