02What gets priced

You say what the software should do.

Aakalan splits it into features, prices each one from hours and dated rates, and shows the working.

01Why prices stopped adding up

Hourly rates were made for people typing every line. AI drafts much of it now. Someone still checks it.

The workA spreadsheet estimate: Hours of typing, line by lineAakalan: Each feature at the level you need
AI toolsA spreadsheet estimate: Left out, or a guessed discountAakalan: Saving per task, with the checking added back
The totalA spreadsheet estimate: Building onlyAakalan: Build, launch, servers, support and tax
The numbersA spreadsheet estimate: Ask whoever made the sheetAakalan: Each one traced to its rate and source

Why the price is lower

Same software. Less to build now. The saving is in the price.

AI tools now write much of the code. Aakalan takes the hours they save off each feature, task by task, and adds back the time people spend checking the AI's work. A spreadsheet prices every line as if it were typed by hand.

Aakalan reads the document the same way: every feature it finds keeps the line it came from, so you can check each one before it is priced.

03 · Traceable

Every number has an address.

Each cost line keeps the clause it came from, the feature, the dated rate and the formula. Nothing is a black box.

Questions people ask first. Straight answers.

Does AI make up the price?
No. AI only reads your document and suggests features. Every number comes from fixed formulas, hours and dated rates, so the same answers always give the same price.
What does the total include?
Building it, launching it, the servers, the years of support you choose, and tax, as a low, likely and high cost. What the document asks for but the price leaves out is listed on its own.
What if I don't know an answer?
Choose “Not sure”. The usual answer is used and the range widens, instead of the estimate pretending to know.
Can I use my own rates?
Yes. Your company's day rates and margin are used for its estimates. An estimate keeps the rates it was made with, so it never changes later.
Who sees my requirement document?
Only your company. The text goes only to the AI service set up for reading it, and is treated as data, never as instructions.
How exact is it?
It is a guide before work starts, not a quote. Nobody knows the exact number yet, so you get a range with the reasons for its width.
