FAQ

Common questions

Most AIScout projects land between $2,000 and $8,000 for implementation, with the majority under $5,000. That's the full scope: discovery, build, testing, and handoff. Ongoing tool subscriptions vary by platform but typically run $100–$500/month. The average project pays for itself within 60–90 days.
Every expert application is reviewed manually by our team. We screen for industry-specific experience (not just general AI knowledge), real case studies with measurable outcomes, and a track record of delivering projects on scope. Fewer than 30% of applicants make it through. We'd rather have fewer experts than dilute the network with generalists.
That's exactly what the assessment is for. It asks 8 quick questions about your business and surfaces the highest-ROI opportunity for your vertical — no AI knowledge required to complete it. You'll get a specific project recommendation (e.g., "no-show reduction automation" or "lead follow-up sequence") plus a dollar estimate of what it's worth to your business.
Most focused projects — recall automation, lead follow-up, intake digitization — are scoped and delivered in 3–6 weeks. Complex integrations run 6–10 weeks. Every AIScout project agreement includes defined deliverables and timelines before any payment changes hands, so there are no open-ended engagements.
AIScout charges a platform fee on completed projects — you see the full project price upfront, and there are no hidden markups. The fee covers matchmaking, vetting, project structure review, and dispute mediation. Experts receive the quoted project amount; businesses pay a transparent platform fee on top of that.
Yes — apply at aiscout.co/experts/apply. We're actively looking for specialists in dental, HVAC, legal, and other SMB verticals. The application takes about 10 minutes and asks for your background, a case study or two, and your specialty areas. Approvals come within a few days.
