Binnie × Aiyarise · Dynamic AI Governance
What it costs.
What it returns.
The question raised on July 7: what does the program cost up front, what does it cost to run, and what does Binnie get back. This page is the working answer, and every assumption in it is yours to change.
Prepared for the Binnie AI Committee: Jordon Gunderson, Will Eisbrenner, Paul Docherty.
By Aiyarise Intelligence: Brayden Everton, Sandy Liu, Greg Shortreed, Victoria Schneider. July 8, 2026.
The assumptions
A model that exists
to be argued with.
Bronze fields are inputs, set to the July 8 baseline. Change any of them and the budget, the ROI and the payback month recalculate live. The value counted is time saved only; proposal win-rate, rework avoided and faster onboarding are deliberately left out.
Value assumptions · pressure test these
Placeholder pending the division map. Offices run up to about 20 people.
Salary plus burden, blended across PMs, engineers and admin. Adjust to Binnie actuals.
Deliberately conservative. Industry reporting has 68% of AEC AI adopters already saving $50,000 or more.
Not everyone uses the tools fully on day one. A people-first rollout ramps this up.
Weeks per month is fixed at 4.33. Value per live division per month = staff × cost × hours × adoption × 4.33 = –
Program inputs · as discussed July 7
Full day recommended for the executive team. Blended rate $2,000 per facilitated hour.
KEY ASSUMPTION. Roughly 10 nominal divisions, likely fewer once subdivisions consolidate. First thing to confirm.
Quoted range $10,000 to $15,000 depending on cadence and seat.
Observe, tune and hone period after the build, starting January 2027.
Only if configurations beyond Copilot are adopted. Generous placeholder; can be zero in a Copilot-only setup. MCP hosting adds $10 per month. Copilot licenses are an existing cost, unchanged, and the governance system itself carries no license and no subscription.
Advanced: graduated per-division build pricing
Basis: $10,000 for the first division, graduated reduction each additional. Envelope quoted July 7: $50,000 to $70,000 for the full division set. Divisions beyond the count in scope are dimmed and excluded.
Preliminary budget
Three components,
added together.
Facilitated hours × blended rate. A surfacing exercise: brings leadership to a shared baseline and feeds the build.
Central Source across 7 divisions: interviews, knowledge absorption, permission rules, deterministic guardrails, MCP into Copilot, and 3 to 5 everyday skills per division.
Observe, tune, hone. Strategic partner seat: skills pipeline, governance evolution, committee coaching.
Reference: the working envelope discussed July 7 was roughly $75,000 to $105,000 for the full suite, pending confirmation of the division count.
Return on investment
Payback, month by month.
September 2026 kickoff, twelve months out. Build cash is spread across the first five months; advisory runs from January. Value follows divisions as they go live.
Prepared for review. A person decides.
| Month | Divisions live | Workshop + build | Advisory | Operating | Value created | Net | Cumulative |
|---|
Read: on the July 8 baseline the program pays for itself around month six, inside the first advisory quarter, and the value counted is time saved only. Rollout pacing mirrors the baseline plan and scales with the division count; the roadmap phases below stay fixed.
Phased roadmap
September kickoff.
Committee-led by spring.
Fixed plan · not affected by the model above
Divisions overlap; the full rollout runs roughly 4 to 6 months. Timing per the July 7 working session, illustrated for seven divisions. If the confirmed count lands lower or higher, the bars compress or extend but the phase logic holds.
Phase 0 · Literacy + alignmentExecutive workshop (recommended first step, not a hard prerequisite) and scope confirmation: division map, one champion per division, NDA in place.
Phase 1 · Governance buildKickoff lands after the cloud server integration settles. First division live roughly six weeks in; roughly half the divisions by month three; knowledge bases wrapped by month four. Everyday skills ship with each division as it goes live.
Phase 2 · Retained advisoryJanuary to March minimum. Observe, tune and hone: skills refinement, governance evolution, committee coaching, with Aiyarise in a strategic advisory seat.
Decision point · end of Q1 2027Continue the strategic partner seat or hand over fully to the committee. No long-term lock-in. Binnie owns the system either way.
What Binnie keeps
Owned outright.
Model agnostic.
Regardless of path
The Central Source knowledge base, all permission rules, guardrail scripts and skills. An operations manual for AI, owned by Binnie, with no subscription attached.
No lock-in
The system is model agnostic. It plugs into Copilot today and moves with you if the tooling changes. Licenses you already pay for stay exactly as they are.
Every figure on this page is a live formula, the same ones from the workbook we shared. The numbers are deliberately conservative because I would rather you argue them upward than discount them. Change the assumptions to Binnie's actuals, and if the model breaks under your numbers, that is exactly the conversation we should have on the 14th.
