Design the team and model the full cost
Your situation
Three answers produce a first estimate. Everything else is optional and can wait until you have a number in front of you.
Europe is not a country: Germany, Norway and Switzerland sit in three different privacy and trade positions, so this needs an actual one.
Display currency only. It is separate from where the team is paid and from your reporting currency.
Bengaluru is the workspace's opening assumption, not a recommendation. Change it, or compare cities later.
Changes the workspace cost line only.

How this model works
Design the team
Start from a template, build your own rows, or answer a few questions and get a proposal you can accept or reject. Every seat carries a role, a seniority, an FTE and a start month, so the model prices a ramp rather than a headcount.
See the whole cost, and the gaps
Compensation, statutory overhead, workspace, IT, fees and compute - each with what it is charged on and where the figure came from. Anything NeoIntelli has no approved figure for is shown as not budgeted rather than as zero.
Test it against something real
Tell the model what the same scope costs you today and it produces a monthly comparison, a payback month and a set of stress tests. Without that, it says savings are unavailable instead of inventing them.
Who is behind the numbers
NeoIntelli builds and runs AI capability centres in India from a base in Bengaluru. The compensation bands, operating assumptions and team shapes in this workspace come from that delivery experience - which is why they are labelled as planning assumptions rather than as market data.
Nothing here is reviewed until a practitioner reviews it. When you ask for a review, a person reads the case you built - the assumptions you changed and the questions still open - and tells you what they would do differently.
More about how we workQuestions people actually ask
- Do I have to give you my email to see a number?
- No. The estimate, the comparison, the readiness check and both downloads all work without one. The only place contact details are asked for is the request to have a practitioner review your case, and that is an explicit, separate action.
- Where do the salary figures come from?
- They are NeoIntelli planning bands modelled on our own delivery and hiring experience, covering Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune. They are not a published salary survey and they carry no sample size, which is exactly how they are labelled in the workspace. Every one of them is editable - if you have your own figures, use them.
- Why does it refuse to show savings sometimes?
- Because a saving needs something to save against, and only you know what the same scope costs you today. If you have not told the model that, it reports the India cost and says the comparison is unavailable. It will not model a US or European counterfactual you did not ask for.
- Does it tell me which tax breaks or incentives I qualify for?
- No, and it will not pretend to. It surfaces the considerations that look relevant to your answers, names the facts that would decide each one, links the official source, and models every one of them at zero value. Eligibility is an adviser's determination, not a calculator's.
- Is the output reviewed by anyone?
- Not automatically. Everything the workspace produces is labelled a planning estimate. It only says practitioner reviewed after a NeoIntelli practitioner has actually reviewed it and that review has been recorded.
- Can I take the numbers away?
- Yes. There is a PDF for reading and a CSV with the full monthly cash flow and every assumption for anyone who wants to take the model apart. Both come from the same snapshot as the screen, so they cannot disagree with it.
Glossary: the words this workspace uses, and what they mean
- GCC (Global Capability Centre)
- A team a company builds and owns in another country to do its own work, rather than buying that work from a vendor. The distinguishing feature is ownership of the output and the people, not the size of the centre.
- Micro GCC
- A description of scale and operating style - a small centre run lean - not a legal structure. A micro GCC can be directly owned, provider-managed, or built with an intent to transfer.
- Build-operate-transfer
- An arrangement where a provider stands up and runs a centre with an intention that the client takes it over later. The transfer terms are the whole point and are the part most often left to a later negotiation.
- Employer of record
- A third party that holds the employment relationship so a company can hire without its own entity. It settles who the employer is and settles nothing about IP, tax exposure, security or who is accountable for delivery.
- CTC (cost to company)
- The Indian convention for total employment cost. A figure quoted as CTC already includes employer provident fund, gratuity and insurance, so adding a benefits percentage on top of it double counts them.
- Ramp
- The months between the first hire and a fully staffed team. First-year cash is the sum of those actual months; twelve times a fully-staffed month is a different, larger number.
- Steady-state run rate
- What the centre costs per month once every planned seat is filled, excluding one-time costs.
- Payback
- The first month the cumulative difference against your baseline turns non-negative after an initial deficit. If there was never a deficit there is no payback event, and this model says so rather than inventing one.
- Restricted transfer
- A disclosure of personal data to an organisation outside the exporting jurisdiction. Remote access from India to data held elsewhere can be one; where the server sits does not settle it.
- Zero-rated export of services
- GST treatment available when the statutory export-of-services conditions are met, including conditions about the relationship between the supplier and the recipient. It is conditional treatment, not a general saving.
Want someone to check it?
Build the case first, then ask for a review from inside the Decision pack area. A practitioner sees the assumptions you changed and the questions still open, not just the headline figure.
