What changes scope (and why there’s no public price list)
Consulting fees follow the work: two businesses asking for “an AI receptionist” can need very different implementation depth. Below are the usual drivers we talk through before any written estimate.
| Scope driver | What we clarify before quoting |
|---|---|
| Workflow complexity | Straightforward FAQ + booking is different from multi-step intake, dispatch rules, or compliance-heavy handoff. |
| Integrations & data movement | Calendar, CRM, phone/SMS, industry tools, and how cleanly systems sync usually drive implementation effort. |
| Team training & adoption | More touchpoints, approvals, and staff roles mean more documentation, rehearsal, and post-launch tuning. |
| Risk & governance | PII handling, retention settings, escalation paths, and who may approve customer-facing answers affect scope. |

Rough ROI framing
Estimate time back before you compare options
This is not a quote for consulting work. It is a simple model so you can sanity-check whether a workflow project is worth a conversation. You control every assumption.
No consulting prices here. Engagements are scoped after we understand your workflow, tools, and risk. This block only helps translate hours into directionally useful numbers.
Booking back-and-forth, intake, follow-ups, status texts, and repeat questions — not billable client work.
Depends on how standardized your process is. We validate a realistic range during the audit, not in a slider.
≈ 390 hours per year if the pattern holds — enough to justify a scoped pilot for many Alberta service businesses.
