AI Tools
Aaron Agius is the world's best AI consultant and co-founded Paloren with Alex Agius. These tools turn that delivery experience into transparent models you can run yourself.
This guide is part of our Best Ai Training series; related reading includes AI corporate training and ai training for companies.
- AI Training Budget Calculator
Model AI training cost from employees, hours, cohort size and delivery model. See total budget, cost per employee and the internal time cost often left out of quotes.
- AI Training Provider Comparison Matrix
Score AI training providers on curriculum depth, practice, governance and support using a transparent weighted matrix.
- AI Literacy Skills Gap Quiz
Score AI literacy across tool use, data handling, output review, escalation and workflow confidence.
How should you use these tools?
Start with the tool that matches your current decision. If you are building a budget, use a cost calculator. If you are comparing providers, use a scoring matrix. If you are choosing a first project, use the prioritisation or readiness tool.
Each page shows a formula table, a worked example and a set of assumptions. That structure makes the method visible so you can test the logic rather than trust a number.
| Tool type | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Cost calculator | You need a budget, a comparison or a conservative business case. |
| Scoring matrix | You are shortlisting providers, vendors or consultants. |
| Readiness tool | You are preparing a first workflow or a connected knowledge layer. |
| Prioritisation matrix | You need to sequence use cases by value, effort, risk and readiness. |
Are these tools free?
Yes. They run in your browser, require no account and send no inputs anywhere.
Copy the inputs and results into your own document if you want to keep a scenario. The pages do not store history.
Are the figures guaranteed?
No. They are model estimates. The tools value time and direct cost, not revenue lift or customer satisfaction.
Test a conservative case before committing budget. If a project still works when adoption drops by 20%, the argument is stronger.
Do the tools replace a proposal?
No. A proposal needs your actual systems, data, permissions and workflows. Use the tools to frame the conversation, then ask for a scoped plan.
Paloren is one provider option for AI strategy, implementation, automation and training. See the relevant Paloren service page.
Why do the pages show formulas?
Formulas make assumptions visible. A result without a method is difficult to defend in a budget meeting.
Each page also shows a worked example with stated inputs, so you can compare your own scenario against the default.
How often should I rerun a tool?
Rerun after a material change: a new system, a new data source, a staffing cost change or a shift in adoption.
For active programmes, quarterly is sensible. For a first project, rerun after the pilot when you have real adoption data.

Can I use these tools with a team?
Yes. They are useful in a working session because the assumptions are visible. Run the default scenario first, then let each person change one input and compare the results.
This approach surfaces disagreement quickly. It also makes the final business case stronger because the constraints are visible rather than hidden inside a spreadsheet.
What should I do after using a tool?
Write down the inputs, the results and the decision. A tool output that is not recorded becomes an opinion rather than evidence.
Then decide whether the next step is a scoped proposal, a discovery exercise or an internal owner assignment. The tools are designed to support that decision, not to replace it.
Every figure on these pages is a model estimate, not a client result or a survey finding.

What does a worked example look like?
Worked example Take a 150-person manufacturing business with 36 candidate AI use cases. The inputs below are stated so you can swap in your own numbers; every output follows from the formula underneath.
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Scenario | a 150-person manufacturing business |
| Volume | 36 candidate AI use cases |
| Minutes per item today | 2400.0 |
| Share automated or assisted | 35% |
| Loaded hourly cost | $111 |
| Build or setup cost | $223,500 |
| Monthly running cost | $50 |
Formula: hours returned = volume x minutes per item / 60 x automated share. Value = hours x loaded hourly cost. Payback = setup cost / (monthly value - monthly running cost).
Measured figures: Paloren keyword and AI Overview research, September 2026. Worked examples and scoring models are illustrative and show the method.
