What This Revenue Model Is

A business owner is paying for ChatGPT, Midjourney, Zapier, and three other AI subscriptions, using none of them at full capacity, while the consultant who could connect those tools into a working system that saves 15 hours a week has never once offered to build it. The tools are already purchased. The stack is what is missing.

A build project, then a retainer to run and tune it.

$50K-150K
full build
$15K-50K
pilot
$5K-50K
per month, run

You sell the installed system. The build pays well, but until you productize it, the delivery and the upkeep keep running through you.

Mid-market AI implementations run $35,000 to $150,000, pilots $15,000 to $50,000, and ongoing retainers $5,000 to $50,000 a month.

Benchmarked to 2025-2026 AI implementation data (AIDOLS, Bosio, KumoHQ). The high cost score reflects integration and maintenance load.

Evidence tier: Modeled. Figures are modeled estimates, not observed results. Ranges are illustrations of how the model prices, not predictions of your results.

The Two-Axis Placement

Return score: 3.0 / 10. Personal Cost score: 3.8 / 10. That combination places this model in the Lucrative Job quadrant: high return · high cost.
