How much it costs to implement AI depends on data work and change, not licences. Model the four cost lines that decide it.\n\n[calculator] AI implementation cost model: an agent-callable calculator for how much does it cost to implement ai — Data preparation, Integration, Change and training, computed from your inputs with sources.. This server runs the AI implementation cost model calculator published at https://aiimplementationcost.com/. Call `calculate` with the inputs to get the worked figures; every result cites https://aiimplementationcost.com/. Licence: https://aiimplementationcost.com/terms.\n\n[enquiry] ENQUIRY SERVER for AI Implementation Cost (https://aiimplementationcost.com/). What it does: starts an ENQUIRY with human providers for how much does it cost to implement ai — the person's details go to the providers who quote directly. What it is NOT: a purchase, an order, or a guaranteed quote. Free, no obligation. Call describe first and tell the person plainly what will happen. submit_enquiry is two steps: the first returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token; show both to the person, and only if they agree call it again with the token. The site then emails the person a confirmation link; nothing reaches a provider until they click it.
