What This Revenue Model Is
A consultant with 15 years of expertise is answering the same five questions in every client call, questions that a well-trained AI assistant could handle instantly, at any hour, in any language, for any number of clients simultaneously. The expertise is already documented. The AI that carries it forward has not been built yet.
A branded assistant, built once and licensed.

You build a custom assistant on top of existing models and sell access under your brand. The model does the work, so it scales past your hours, which is why it scores as an Asset.
These sell as an upfront build plus per-seat subscriptions in the $20 to $99 range, with inference cost passed through or built into pricing.
Benchmarked to 2025-2026 AI build and SaaS pricing (micro-SaaS and AI-tool sources). The custom-GPT packaging is new, so treat per-seat specifics as estimates and watch falling inference costs.
Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.
