IntelligenceShow us your workflowPractical buying decisions
Make the decision before you buy the software.
Work through the costs, tradeoffs, and responsibilities of an AI or automation project. Use your own assumptions, inspect the reasoning, and leave with a brief your team can discuss.

Cost + approach
What should we resolve before committing?
Resolve the business case and the delivery approach before buying a solution. Separate one-time work from recurring operation, and distinguish staff capacity from cash you can actually avoid spending. Then compare existing features, configuration, and custom development against the same requirements, ownership expectations, and difficult test cases.
What does AI implementation cost?
Build an editable cost model that separates implementation, running costs, staff capacity, and actual cash savings.
Should we build, buy, or automate what we have?
Compare existing product features, configured workflows, and custom development using your requirements and constraints.
Your next step
How do we turn a decision into a plan?
Use the opportunity tool to choose a specific workflow, then carry that decision into the system plan. Define inputs, permissions, approvals, tests, and measures in one connected brief. These two tools provide a consistent starting point whether your next step is training, integration, a configured workflow, or a custom build.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to provide my email to use the guides?
No. You can read the guides and use their planning exercises without providing contact information. Contact Aule when you want help reviewing the workflow or implementing it.
Do the calculations show a quote or guaranteed return?
No. The cost guide uses your assumptions for planning. A quote requires a defined scope, checked integrations, and agreed responsibilities. Capacity value is shown separately from cash savings.
Can we use the output with our existing IT provider?
Yes. The briefs are intended to make requirements and tradeoffs clear for your operating team, IT provider, and potential implementation partners. They should help the discussion even before you choose a supplier.
Bring one workflow. Leave with a clearer next step.
Describe where the work stalls and which systems are involved. We will assess the scope, dependencies, and a useful first release with your team.
