The cost of AI-assisted compliance work includes more than a software subscription. Budget for the application, AI usage, setup, and the time people spend checking the result.
CASK lets you connect your own supported AI provider account or use a compatible local model. That gives you a choice of processing and cost arrangements. It does not make every task inexpensive by default.
Separate the costs
| Cost | What affects it |
|---|---|
| CASK plan | The plan and access your team needs |
| Cloud AI | Provider, model, document size, and number of requests |
| Local AI | Hardware, setup, maintenance, and electricity |
| Review | Complexity, source quality, and the corrections required |
| Implementation | Preparing records, training reviewers, and agreeing responsibilities |
Check the CASK account portal for current plans. Check your chosen provider for its usage rates and account controls.
Measure a real piece of work
Choose a task you repeat, such as preparing a privacy assessment or answering a customer questionnaire. Use records that resemble your actual work and that you are authorized to process.
Record the time needed to prepare the inputs, run the task, check sources, correct errors, and approve the result. Include any repeated attempts. A quick draft has little value if review takes longer than the original task.
Repeat the exercise on a few tasks of different sizes before estimating a monthly budget. Avoid assuming that one short demonstration represents an entire program.
Compare tools and services on the same outcome
A team that already has experienced reviewers may want CASK for its own work. A team short on delivery capacity may need a service as well.
With Outcome as a Service, Truvara agrees a project and its deliverables. Compliance as a Service covers agreed ongoing work. We discuss scope, capacity, and fees before starting, so the comparison includes the people responsible for delivery.
Are local models free to run?
They avoid cloud provider usage charges. Hardware, setup, and review still have a cost.
Does a better model always save money?
No. Compare total cost and the quality of the reviewed result on your own work. A cheaper draft can require more corrections.
