Pricing FAQ

Common questions before the first audit.

Why is there a paid audit?

The audit maps systems, data sensitivity, risks and likely value before anyone quotes a serious build.

Can we start with one workflow?

Yes. The best first projects are narrow, measurable and easy for staff to approve.

Do we own the system?

AiBorz prefers client-owned accounts, documentation, prompts, workflows and operating procedures where practical.

Are licences and AI usage included?

No. Software, cloud, API and model usage are separate and transparent.

Do you work with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

Yes. AiBorz can build around Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRMs, accounting systems and approved data stores.

What happens if we cancel monthly support?

The client keeps the owned systems and documentation. Ongoing monitoring, tuning and change work stops unless separately agreed.
