EstimationAI + SustainabilityAI Proof of Concept:
Proven value in 6 weeks. Built to be low-lift for your team.

Naya Studio runs a standard 6-week POC with enterprise customers on a select product category to prove value: faster costing, faster speed-to-market, more informed supplier negotiations, and 95%+ accuracy with no variance. SustainabilityAI runs in parallel, assessing carbon, water, plastic, and energy.

Time savings

Accelerating the quoting process using Naya Estimation AI.

Cost savings

Providing customer with data and insights to have more informed conversations with suppliers and selecting suppliers sooner.

Increased revenues

Enabling customer to get more products to market faster by making better design/cost decisions upfront.

Accuracy and adoption

Proving the feasibility of Naya Estimation AI and getting the customer team familiar with the product.

Catch high-emission decisions early

Identify carbon red flags anywhere in the design process, even from a sketch.

Save time with rapid iterations

Test changes in seconds, not days. Get a brand-new evaluation in minutes, or add feedback to modify an existing one.

See how design decisions affect emissions

Compare CO2e impacts of materials, quantities, and more, weighed against cost on the same estimate.

What we need from you

Scope

We suggest starting with one product category. If you'd like to cover more, additional categories can be added to the scope. Both workstreams run on the same category and share the same BOM and inputs.

1 product line

Stakeholders

At least one SME who understands the costing of this group in depth, to guide skill development and identify data sources. We'll need approximately 2 hours of their time per week. For sustainability, the same SME or a sustainability counterpart.

1 costing SME1 sustainability SME

Data

A minimum of 10 data points per product category with similar materials. A data point includes an image, sketch, 3D model, tech pack, and costing sheet/actuals. For sustainability, add LCA or emissions data you hold.

While the POC runs, we can also handle:

Build confidence and test with 1 product category in 6 weeks. Estimation and sustainability run in parallel on the same category. Additional categories can be added on request during this phase.
We are happy to work with you to develop a business case together in order to get budget approved and convince internal stakeholders. With sustainability included, that case also covers footprint reduction and the reporting effort it removes.Open the ROI calculator
After we better understand your systems, product lines, and integrations, we can give you a quote. Typically our implementation periods last 4-10 weeks depending on the number of product lines.
We have SOC2 and can work with your teams to finalize this.View our SOC 2 trust center
Our pricing is based on usage, number of products, and timeline. We have standard contracts we can use but happy to work with yours.
You will see your investment returned as early as during the POC. Payback for Naya is within a few weeks.Open the ROI calculator

Run the same POC on one of your product lines.
