Get more from every AI dollar your firm spends.
Most firms overspend on AI without realizing it. The bill isn't set by how many people use AI. It's set by how they use it: which model they pick, how they structure a conversation, and whether context is set up once or retyped every day. We teach your whole team to make those calls the same way.
Typical AI assistants offer several model tiers. The most capable can cost five to ten times as much as the lightest for the same output, and for routine work the answer is often just as good.
Illustrative relative cost per unit of output across a typical four-tier model lineup. Actual prices vary by vendor and plan and change often.
Four places AI spend quietly leaks.
None of these show up as a line item. They show up as usage limits hit by Wednesday, extra credits nobody budgeted for, and seats that don't match the work.
The biggest model for everything
Reformatting a table on the most expensive model buys nothing but a bigger bill.
Marathon conversations
A long thread gets more expensive with every message, even when the question is short.
Retyping the same instructions
Every person re-explaining your firm, your standards, and your format, every day, adds up.
Plans that don't fit the work
Paying for heavy-use seats people rarely touch, or capping the few who need more.
The playbook stays in the classroom.
These are the model selection and usage habits we teach in Sessions 2 and 3. We don't publish them here. They work best taught live, practiced on real scenarios, and adopted by the whole team at once.
The two-question test
How to pick the right model for any task in about five seconds.
Why the tenth message costs more than the first
The hidden driver of AI usage, and the one habit that controls it.
The escalation habit
When to step up to a stronger model, and the tell that says you're overpaying.
Five habits that protect your shared allowance
Small, repeatable choices that keep the whole team under its limits.
Department cheat sheets
Which BD, marketing, finance, and project management tasks need the big model, and which never do.
Seats, plans, and credits
How to match plans to the way your people actually work, and where to set usage caps.
A model selection guide built for AEC work.
Every trainee leaves with our Model Selection Guide: a quick-reference for matching the model to the task, organized by department, with the cost reasoning behind each call. It pairs with the shared AI vocabulary guide and your team's prompt libraries, so everyone makes the same decision the same way.
