What does an AI strategy roadmap cost, and what is in it?
Foundry now folds AI strategy and planning into a paid engagement, which starts at $2,500. You work with our experts and leave with a starting AI Playbook, yours to keep whether or not you build with us. Most AI strategy work is sold as an open-ended retainer with no fixed deliverable. We price in scoped steps with something to show at each one, so the spend stays capped and the next step is always optional.
What engaging gives you.
A production-grade architecture, not a slide deck. Everything below is yours to act on with any team.
A maturity scorecard.
Where you stand across data, process, tooling, governance, people, and leadership, benchmarked so you know which two or three gaps to close first.
A use-case map.
Every candidate workflow plotted by impact and feasibility, so the highest-leverage opportunity is obvious rather than argued.
Build-ready specifications.
Workflow specifications and a gap remediation plan detailed enough to build from, on the systems you already run.
A sequenced roadmap.
A phased plan with an executive readout, so leadership can fund the next step with a clear view of the return.
A ladder, not a retainer.
You add value one proven step at a time. Each rung has a deliverable, and the next is always optional.
AI Maturity Assessment.
About 15 minutes, scored across seven dimensions. The recommended starting point, at no cost.
Discover and blueprint.
Strategy and planning with our experts. You leave with a starting AI Playbook, yours to keep whether or not you build with us.

We consult, co-build with your team, or build it for you, priced to the value each build creates, with your approval at every step.
Extend.
A retainer for ongoing support, strategic planning, and consulting, from coaching your team to an embedded expert.
Straight answers on cost.
What does an AI strategy roadmap cost?
Foundry now folds AI strategy and planning into a paid engagement, which starts at $2,500. You work with our experts and leave with a starting AI Playbook: where AI will move your business, in what order, and what to build first. The deliverable is yours to act on whether or not you build with Foundry, and each build after it is priced to the value it creates.
How much does AI strategy consulting cost?
It varies widely. Many firms price AI strategy as an open-ended retainer with no fixed deliverable, which makes the total cost hard to predict. Foundry Solutions prices in scoped units with a deliverable at every step: a free AI Maturity Assessment, a paid engagement from $2,500 that leaves you with a starting AI Playbook, and builds priced to the value they create with your approval at every step, so the spend is capped and the next step is always optional.
Is this the same as an AI blueprint?
Broadly yes. Some teams call this an AI blueprint or an AI roadmap. We deliver it as a starting AI Playbook from a paid engagement: where AI will move your business, in what order, and what to build first. The difference is that we do not sell it as an expensive standalone document you are left to execute alone. It is one scoped step on a ladder, and the builds that follow are priced to the value they create.
Do I have to build with Foundry after this engagement?
No. The starting AI Playbook from the paid engagement is yours to keep and act on with any team. If you do build with us, each build is priced to the value it creates and you approve every step, so the spend stays capped and the next step is always optional.
