Aakalanआकलन

Aakalan means estimation. Because software prices stopped adding up.

AI now does much of the typing. Nobody agrees what that does to the price, so quotes drift further apart.

01The question

How do you price software when AI writes much of the code? People still design, check and look after it.

Price the work itself, and show the working:

  1. 01Each feature at the size it needs
  2. 02The saving AI tools really bring, task by task
  3. 03The checking that saving demands
  4. 04Everything after launch

02How we test the prices

Checked against real Indian projects. Not tuned to them: our prices come from hours and rates.

Small projects
Real contracts mostly came in below ours: lowest prices, simpler builds.
Medium projects
Real contracts mostly came in a little below ours.
Large projects
Real contracts mostly came in above ours: hardware and licences we can't see yet.

Not checked yet: what finished projects really cost. Recorded outcomes will do that, so treat every estimate as a guide.

03What we hold to

Four rules. Every estimate follows them.

01
Price what is built, not who asks
A login screen costs the same for everyone.
02
AI reads, formulas count
AI suggests features. It never sets, edits or rounds a price.
03
Every number has a source
Feature, rate, where the rate came from, and the formula.
04
Honest about how sure we are
A range with its reasons, not one number pretending to be exact.

04Who it is for

Anyone who needs the number before the work starts.

  • Companies quoting a projectPrice a quote from the document in minutes, with your own rates.
  • People planning to buildKnow what an app should cost before asking for quotes.
  • Departments budgetingA realistic budget with security, support and hosting included.
