The workshop
Every tool for one decision: should you build this thing?
Is AI worth it for your business?
Before you hire a consultant or write a line of code, use these tools to map where AI creates real operational leverage — and calculate whether the ROI justifies the investment. Built from 100+ AI and automation scoping calls.
AI Readiness Assessment
Is your company actually ready for AI? 10 questions. Get a readiness score, maturity level, and a clear list of gaps to fix before you invest. Free.
Automation ROI Calculator
How much is manual process work actually costing you? Enter your process type, volume, and labor cost to see annual hours wasted, cost savings from automation, payback period, and 3-year ROI. Free.
Plan the build
Get accurate cost ranges, realistic timeline estimates, and the build-vs-buy analysis most product teams skip. Every range is grounded in real RaftLabs projects across AI, automation, and custom software — not market averages.
AI Project Cost Estimator
No idea what your AI project will cost? Get an instant cost range, timeline, and phase breakdown. Built from 100+ real AI projects. Free, no signup.
Build vs Buy Calculator
Build in-house, outsource, or go hybrid? See the true cost of each, including the hidden 40% most teams miss. Side-by-side comparison in 3 minutes. Free.
MVP Scope Builder
Building too much before launch kills most MVPs. Pick features, set priorities, and get a phased plan with cost estimates. Most winners launch with 3–5 features. Free.
Voice AI Calculator
Compare pricing across Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, and Language Model providers. Calculate your monthly costs and find the optimal voice AI stack for your application.
Estimate for your industry
Industry-specific cost calculators and ROI models with sector benchmarks built in. Inputs reflect how your market actually operates — not generic SaaS pricing or offshore-shop day rates.

Why these numbers hold up.
- Where the numbers come from
- Every range, ROI calculation, and readiness check is anchored in 100+ AI, automation, and software builds we’ve scoped and shipped.
- What we don’t do
- No email gate, no nurture sequence, no “your free download is on its way.” You get an answer at the end and that’s the end of the flow.
- Who maintains them
- Built and updated by the founders who scope client work. When our cost model shifts, so do the tools.
Questions before you click
- We scope projects every week. The cost ranges, ROI maths, and readiness checks already exist in our notes, so we turned them into calculators. They make our first call sharper, and they help you decide whether to take the call at all.
- Numbers come from 100+ real RaftLabs projects across AI, automation, and software. They will get you to within ±25% on cost and timeline: close enough to plan, not close enough to sign a contract on. For a real quote, book a 30-minute call.
- No. None of the tools ask for an email, a phone number, or a credit card. You get an answer at the end, and that is the end of the flow. We follow up only if you book a call.
- Skip the tools and book a 30-minute call. The tools give you a range; a call gives you a number. Use whichever moves you faster.
The tools give you a range. A call gives you a number.
A 30-minute call with a RaftLabs founder goes further than any calculator: exact scope, real timeline, and an honest take on whether custom software is even the right fix.
