Cost estimates ($20-50K per school initial outlay), vendor evaluation frameworks, and grant/partnership opportunities.
Budget Template Generator
Comprehensive budget builder for school AI programs. Configure your school profile, review cost estimates across 8 categories, and generate a 3-year budget projection with Year 1 setup costs vs Year 2-3 ongoing costs.
Cost Breakdown by Category
Typical school AI implementation costs range from $20,000 to $50,000 in Year 1, depending on school size, existing infrastructure, and scope of rollout. Year 2-3 ongoing costs are typically 40-60% of Year 1 as setup and training costs decrease.
Vendor Scoring Tool
Structured vendor evaluation with 20 criteria across 5 categories. Score each criterion 1-5, compare up to 3 vendors side-by-side, and customise category weights for your school's priorities.

Key Insight
The true cost of AI in education isn't the software licence — it's everything around it: the training, the support, the infrastructure upgrades, and the ongoing evaluation. Schools that budget only for the tool itself typically spend 3-5x more in hidden costs over three years.
