Frequently Asked Questions

How much does document intake automation cost for consulting firms?
Costs for document intake automation in consulting firms typically range from $3,500 for single-source automations, like extracting key data from new client engagement letters, up to $15,000+ for complex setups integrating multiple document types and systems. Factors include the number of document formats, data fields to extract, and integrations with your CRM, DMS, or project management tools.
Is there a monthly fee after the initial build?
After the initial build, there are typically no recurring fees directly from Byzantium AI for the automation itself. You might incur standard monthly costs for third party tools or cloud services that the automation utilizes, such as an OCR service or a specific connector, which we will detail upfront.
What is included in the free systems audit?
The free systems audit involves a deep dive into your firm's current document intake processes, identifying bottlenecks in client onboarding, proposal generation, or compliance document handling. We map your existing tech stack, document types (e.g., PDFs, Word docs, scanned images), and data points you need to extract, providing a clear roadmap for automation and estimated ROI.
How quickly does this pay for itself?
Document intake automation typically pays for itself within 3-6 months for most consulting firms, often much faster. By reducing manual data entry for client contracts, project briefs, or expense reports, you free up consultant and administrative time, allowing your team to focus on higher-value, billable work.
