How does AI consulting pricing compare to Big 4?
Big 4 AI consulting engagements typically start at $150K-500K+ for an assessment phase alone. Implementation is a separate engagement at additional cost. By the time you have a working system, you have spent six to seven figures and twelve to eighteen months.
WorkWise starts at $30K for a Discovery Sprint that includes a complete assessment, roadmap, and ROI projections. Custom Builds are scoped and priced after the Sprint. The Sprint fee credits 100% toward the build, so you are not paying for the same work twice.
The fee structure reflects different business models. Big 4 charges for time. We charge for deliverables. That distinction matters when you are evaluating total cost of ownership, because hourly billing creates an incentive to extend timelines, not shorten them.
