Busan AI development · Quotes
An AI development quote is set by five conditions
We don't answer "how much?" with a number first because the same request can vary several-fold with data and integration conditions. Instead, here is what sets the cost and what to write down before inquiring so the quote comes faster.
Direct answer
In one paragraph
SMK Labs quotes AI development after confirming five conditions — scope, data state, integration, security, and operations — and then separates scope, schedule, cost, exclusions, completion criteria, and maintenance in the proposal. We do not lead with a price list or hourly rate, and we accept paid project inquiries across Korea including Busan, on site or remotely. We aim to confirm receipt and next questions within two business days; quote completion and start dates are not guaranteed.
SMK Labs is not based or stationed in Busan; visit schedules are agreed per project scope.
What sets the price
The five conditions
If your inquiry covers these five, fewer back-and-forths are needed and the proposal comes sooner. "Unknown" is a valid answer — it is information too.
01
Scope — what work, for whom, how often
The task to automate or answer, who the users are, and how often it happens per day or week. One line on the completion criterion helps.
02
Data state — what exists, where, in what form
Documents, databases, or APIs; rough volume; whether the latest version is maintained; whether access can be granted. Missing or scattered data becomes the first work item.
03
Integration — which systems exchange data
Where results must go (groupware, CRM, ERP, messenger, intranet) and where inputs come from. Whether external API accounts, limits, and authentication are settled.
04
Security — the constraints to keep
Personal or contract data, whether external model APIs may be used, network separation, and access-control policies. These change architecture and cost the most.
05
Operations — who carries it forward
Whether operations after deployment are in-house or outsourced, and how far observation, incident response, and improvement are delegated. Maintenance is a separate line within the contracted scope.
What you get
What the proposal separates
Scope, schedule, cost, exclusions, completion criteria, deliverables, and maintenance scope. Read **exclusions** and **completion criteria** first — those two lines say more about the project's real size than the number. Example deliverables: requirements and completion criteria, architecture and data flow, source and configuration, test and validation results, deployment and operations runbook, handover and maintenance scope; actual items are fixed in the contract.
Common questions about AI development quotes in Busan
Q01How much does AI development cost in Busan?
There is no fixed price table. After confirming scope, data state, integration, security, and operations, the proposal separates scope, schedule, cost, exclusions, completion criteria, and maintenance. The same request varies widely depending on whether data is organized and whether external APIs may be used.
Q02What should I send to get a quote?
The task, the data you have, the systems to connect, the security constraints, and who will operate it — as much of the five as you know, via the contact form. It does not need to be tidy. We aim to confirm receipt and next questions within two business days.
Q03Can I get a quote outside Busan?
Yes. We work on site across Korea including Busan and remotely, and are not based or stationed in Busan. We visit when field context matters and go remote when speed matters.
Q04Is a small PoC the same process?
Yes. Problem framing and data checks follow the same order regardless of size. A PoC gets especially narrow completion criteria and exclusions so it stays distinct from later expansion.
