Why start with the business problem instead of the technology?
Because the same technology can be nearly worthless in one workflow and extremely valuable in another. The economics of the process determine whether a custom system is worth building.
Why does a Custom AI System start at $25,000?
OpsHive is designed for operational problems substantial enough to justify custom diagnosis, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and handoff. Smaller automation tasks are usually better served by off-the-shelf software or lighter-weight providers.
Is $25,000 the typical project price?
No. $25,000 is the starting point for a focused Custom AI System engagement. Larger systems are scoped according to complexity, integrations, workflow breadth, implementation depth, and the economic importance of the problem.
Do you work with smaller businesses?
Sometimes. Company size matters less than the economic value and complexity of the problem. OpsHive is generally best suited to established businesses where the bottleneck happens repeatedly and has meaningful consequences.
How do you determine whether the investment makes sense?
Where practical, OpsHive evaluates workflow volume, labor, cycle time, revenue exposure, capacity, quality, and operational risk before recommending implementation.
Do you guarantee ROI?
No. OpsHive can help establish an economic baseline and measure operational improvement where appropriate, but business outcomes depend on factors beyond the technology itself.
Do you replace existing CRMs or ERPs?
Usually not. OpsHive prefers to work around and between systems that already make sense. Replacement is recommended only when there is a clear operational reason.
