What you'll build

What you will be able to do

Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.

  • Price eight AI use cases at Larkspur Home per 1,000 requests from their input and output tokens, and find out why output tokens and big prompts drive the bill.
  • Forecast the monthly cost of Larkspur Home's internal AI assistant for the first half of 2027 as it rolls out to all 180 staff, and chart it.
  • Compare five options for Larkspur Home's support-reply assistant on cost, quality and speed with a weighted scorecard and a minimum-quality gate, and pick the best one.
  • Value the time six AI automations save at Larkspur Home with a loaded hourly rate, subtract the tool costs and get the annual net saving.
  • Model six quarters of Larkspur Home's AI support assistant: benefits that ramp up with adoption, build and run costs, cumulative cash, ROI and the payback quarter.
  • Decide, per confidence band, whether Larkspur Home's AI may approve supplier invoices on its own or a person reviews them, and measure the precision and cost of that policy.
  • Calculate how much prompt caching and batch processing save on Larkspur Home's six monthly AI workloads, and the total saving in %.
  • Turn Larkspur Home's company-wide AI rollout into three probability-weighted scenarios, calculate the expected NPV and the chance of a loss, and test how sensitive the base case is to the benefit.

About this course

Before an AI project is approved, someone has to show what it costs and what it returns. This course gives you that skill. You price a single request from input and output tokens, then forecast a monthly bill from users, requests and tokens per request. A scorecard weighs cost, quality and latency to choose a model. You estimate automation savings from hours saved at a loaded rate minus tool costs, then build return on investment and payback including build cost, running cost and a benefit ramp. Further labs weigh human review cost against the cost of errors, measure savings from caching and batching, and run scenarios with expected NPV and sensitivity. For managers, product owners and consultants.

Questions about this course

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay $9.99 once for this course. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically. Prices are in US dollars; taxes may be added where required.

What exactly do I get?

All lessons and labs of this course, the final exam and the certificate, including later updates to the course, for as long as Tutorvo offers it. Access is personal and tied to your account.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you are not satisfied, email hello@tutorvo.com within 14 days of buying and we refund the course in full via Stripe. The guarantee does not apply once a certificate for the course has been issued to you, or where there are signs of abuse.

When can I start?

Right after payment. Access starts immediately at your request; for consumers in the EU/EEA the statutory right of withdrawal therefore ends once access has begun, while our 14-day money-back guarantee applies regardless.

Do I need Excel or other software?

No. The labs run in a spreadsheet inside your browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. Function names and syntax follow Excel.
