FAQ

Questions AI TCO Decision Support owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this capability account for human expertise costs?

    The calculate_tco_comparison capability includes an expertiseCost parameter, which allows you to input the annual cost of the specialized staff or consultants required to manage the model deployment.

  • 02

    Can I change the time horizon for the TCO calculation?

    Yes, the calculate_tco_comparison capability accepts an optional years parameter. If not provided, it defaults to a 3-year projection.

  • 03

    What is the difference between the flexibility premium and lock-in cost?

    The flexibility premium represents the value of being able to customize and control your model, while the estimated lock-in cost quantifies the financial risk and difficulty of migrating away from a proprietary provider.
