For small and medium businesses

Pick the right kind of AI before you pick a vendor.

Describe one use case. Get the five viable approaches scored side by side, a cost model at your volume, and a shortlist of models that actually fit, with the reasoning spelled out. Then ask the advisor anything about the result.

Illustrative. Your weights and constraints change the order.

How it works

Three steps, ten minutes

  1. 01

    Describe the use case

    A few questions about the problem, your data, volume and constraints. Still exploring? Pick ranges instead of numbers.

  2. 02

    Get a scored comparison

    Five approaches scored on nine weighted criteria, with rationale, risks and a cost model for each.

  3. 03

    See which models fit

    For the generative options, a shortlist from a maintained catalog: cheapest adequate, balanced, and frontier if it buys anything.

What gets compared

Five approaches, nine criteria

Cost, residency and lock-in are computed from the catalog and your inputs. The rest are scored by a model with a written rationale you can challenge. Weights are yours to change.

  • Symbolic / rules-based

    Deterministic logic you can read and audit. Cheap, explainable, brittle at the edges.

  • Classical ML

    Trained classifiers and regressors on your own data. Strong when labels exist.

  • Generative AI, closed

    Hosted frontier models behind an API. Fastest to value; weigh cost, residency and lock-in.

  • Generative AI, open-weight

    Open models you host. Data stays in your boundary; you own the infrastructure.

  • Hybrid

    Rules and retrieval around a model. Often the pragmatic answer for production.
