Planning assumptions allow $5,000–$20,000 for a narrow pilot and $25,000–$100,000+ for production integration. These are unverified planning estimates, with no supporting supplier quotations; do not present them as researched market prices.
| Cost line | Input to collect | Frequent omission |
|---|---|---|
| Staff effort | Named roles × approved time × actual loaded cost | Reviewing ground truth |
| Software | Seats, edition, annual commitment and add-ons | Pricing content licence |
| Processing | Pages × operations × current regional rate | Reprocessing and failed jobs |
| Development | Deliverables, dependencies and capped changes | Exception handling |
| Operations | Monitoring, support, maintenance and training | Catalogue ownership |
| Exit | Exports, documentation, access transfer | Rebuilding undocumented rules |
