What does a private LLM actually cost?

Two numbers really matter: the one-time implementation to stand it up, and the monthly run-rate to keep it serving users. The calculator estimates both — sized to your deployment model, compliance posture, document volume, and traffic — so you can budget honestly before a single line of code is written. Every project is still scoped 1:1 before we commit.
