Document-cycle value
Monthly questions × $2,500 planning cost × 30% candidate reduction × 12 months.

Understand the value model before using the estimate.
The FL1Ai estimator is an illustrative planning tool, not a savings forecast or performance guarantee.
Illustrative planning estimator
Expose the value pool, then replace assumptions with evidence.
Adjust the four planning inputs. Values use the formulas and limitations documented below and are not a performance guarantee.
Illustrative annual value pool
- RFI and document cycle value
- $720,000
- Rework exposure value
- $291,600
- Safety and field review leverage
- $180,000
- Schedule-risk visibility
- $145,800
Potential annual value pool
Formula disclosure
Every displayed value comes from a visible assumption.
The model is intentionally simple so a partner can challenge, replace, or remove each input.
Addressable exposure
Active projects × average project value × 0.9% rework exposure × 18% addressable share.
Review-leverage proxy
Field and project team size ÷ 50 × $180,000. This is a planning proxy, not an incident reduction claim.
Visibility proxy
Active projects × average project value × 0.45% schedule-risk proxy × 18% addressable share.
Interpretation
Do not confuse a value pool with captured value.
The estimator frames where diligence may be worthwhile; it cannot establish a budget, ROI promise, investment return, or performance guarantee.
Exclusions
- Implementation cost, integration cost, model operation, change management, and internal review time.
- Overlap among RFI, rework, safety, and schedule categories.
- Probability that a candidate opportunity can be captured in practice.
- Contract, insurance, legal, safety, regulatory, and project-specific constraints.
- Any causal claim that AI produced a measured business result.
Worked example
The default inputs—80 monthly questions, 12 active projects, 50 team members, and $15 million average project value—produce an illustrative combined value pool of $1,337,400. The figure is not a savings forecast. A real pilot replaces every assumption with authorized project records, a baseline, implementation cost, and reviewed attribution.
