The AI-consulting template that turns LLM curiosity into shipped production workflows.
AI proposals fail when they sound like a Demo Day pitch. This template anchors on workflow ROI first, vendor selection second, and ongoing eval / cost optimization third — the order companies actually buy in. Useful for any shop building on Claude, OpenAI, open-source, or hybrid stacks.
Setup fee + monthly retainer. Round numbers. Each tier includes everything below it plus specific upgrades. The middle tier is recommended — most clients pick it.

Audit: $5K fixed — 30-page report, vendor recs, ROI projections. Pilot: $15K setup + $4.5K/mo — one workflow shipped + tuned + monitored. Embedded: $35K setup + $12K/mo — 3-5 workflows + dedicated AI eng + quarterly model migrations. India: ~₹2L / ₹5L+₹1.5L/mo / ₹12L+₹4L/mo. Common pitfall: don't quote hourly — clients can't predict spend on something they don't understand yet.
1) Leading with model names — clients don't care about Claude vs GPT-4. Lead with the workflow ROI. 2) No eval framework — every AI project that ships without accuracy + latency + cost monitoring degrades silently. 3) Ignoring cost optimization — month 6 model bills surprise the client. 4) Skipping internal training — the team can't maintain what they don't understand.
You're pitching ongoing AI work — not a one-off chatbot. Client has either internal data they want to leverage, a manual workflow they want automated, or a product feature they want to ship. They want a partner who'll think about safety + cost + drift, not just prompt-engineer.
