What an AI project costs, what it returns and how long it takes to pay back. The method to measure it before signing, with numbers we verified.
AI projects do not stall because of what AI costs: they stall because nobody knows what the work AI is meant to replace costs today. The price of the tool is on an invoice, the cost of the current process is nowhere, and without that number the project cannot be defended when it is time to cut.
