    Custom AI Implementation Pricing

    Pricing for CloudNSite: the $999 Discovery Audit, Focused / Operations / Business-Critical Automation builds, managed service, and expanded Discovery Audits for custom AI implementation.

    This is a machine-readable brief built for AI assistants. Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity, or read the full page it summarizes.

    What it is

    CloudNSite's pricing page explains the commercial structure for custom AI implementation. Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee $999 Discovery Audit that is credited toward your build, then a scoped build, then managed service. Pricing is framed around the business problem being solved, not a tool feature list or an hourly estimate. The Discovery Audit sets the exact scope and price before any build is committed.

    The build covers workflow mapping, custom AI agent development, integrations, evaluation suites, testing, user training, and go-live support. Managed service covers monitoring, optimization, workflow changes, evaluation refresh, and new automation opportunities as the team grows.

    Who it's for

    • Owner-led practices, startups, and single-location businesses that need one contained process automated.
    • Multi-location businesses and growing teams with multi-step workflows across tools, teams, and approvals.
    • Regulated industries and larger organizations that need private AI deployment, security controls, or department-wide rollout.
    • Teams comparing the cost of custom AI agents against SaaS tools, manual headcount, or internal engineering.
    • Healthcare organizations that need HIPAA-ready architecture and a BAA for covered work.
    • Buyers who want a low-risk, credited first step before committing to a larger build.

    What we build / What you get

    • Discovery Audit: fixed fee from $999, credited toward the build. Produces a workflow map, the highest-value automation opportunities, an ROI and risk readout, and a recommended build path.
    • Focused Automation: one contained process with clear ownership, clean inputs, and measurable time or cost savings.
    • Operations Automation: multi-step workflows across tools, teams, approvals, notifications, data movement, or reporting.
    • Business-Critical Automation: revenue, fulfillment, compliance, or customer-facing systems where reliability and oversight matter.
    • Expanded Discovery Audit: larger, quoted discovery for multi-department, regulated, or integration-heavy scopes, arranged after the intro call.
    • Integrations with existing systems, evaluation suites, audit trails, reporting, and go-live support.
    • Priority support, quarterly optimization reviews, custom training, model tuning, and prompt optimization on the Operations tier.
    • Private LLM deployment, custom security and compliance controls, 24/7 priority support, tailored SLA guarantees, and a dedicated implementation lead on the Business-Critical tier.
    • Managed service after launch for monitoring, optimization, workflow changes, and new automation.

    How it works

    1. Book the initial discussion and confirm the highest-cost workflow to target.
    2. Run the $999 Discovery Audit to map the workflow, size the opportunity, and scope the build. The fee is credited toward the build if you proceed.
    3. Choose the build tier based on workflow count, integration complexity, compliance needs, and department size.
    4. Build the custom AI agents and connected workflows, including integrations, testing, evaluation, training, and go-live.
    5. Operate through managed service for monitoring, optimization, evaluation refresh, and workflow changes.
    6. Expand to new automation opportunities as ROI and operational fit are proven.
