Typical phasing for GenBI implementation include: Readiness Assessment (4 weeks) → Semantic Layer & Data Pipeline Design (8–10 weeks) → GenBI Deployment (6–8 weeks) = 4–6 months from start to go-live. Post-launch optimization: 3–6 months included.

Costs vary based on:

Use case scope (1–2 use cases vs. 8+ use cases across departments)
Data quality baseline (clean data in a warehouse vs. fragmented across 10 systems)
Platform costs
Governance maturity (existing governance framework vs. building from scratch)
Team skills (strong internal data/analytics team reduces delivery cost vs. building capability)
Regulatory complexity (financial services/healthcare adds compliance integration work).

A small, contained GenBI project (1–2 use cases, clean data, existing governance) costs significantly less than enterprise-scale (8+ use cases, data cleanup required, multi-region compliance). We provide a detailed cost estimate after Phase 1 assessment, based on your specific constraints.
