Understanding the Value Proposition
Our pricing is scoped around the workflows, systems, risk controls, and support needed to make automation commercially worthwhile. We model expected value before build, then track whether the workflow is delivering.
ROI Calculation Example
Current State
5 employees spending 20 hours/week on manual processes (£50k annual cost)
AI Implementation
£35k implementation + £30k annual support = £65k total first year
Efficiency Gains
Example assumption: 75% of the manual workload removed = £37.5k annual time saving, plus faster turnaround
Net ROI Year 1
£37.5k savings - £65k investment = break-even around month 18 if the assumptions are proven in delivery
Value Beyond Cost Savings
Competitive Advantage
Faster response times, better customer service, and market differentiation
Scalability
Handle increased volume without proportional staff increases
Employee Satisfaction
Eliminate repetitive tasks, focus on high-value work, reduce burnout
Risk Reduction
Fewer human errors, better compliance, improved data security
