120-minute Face-to-Face Consultation
15 000 CZK
This is a one-on-one session where we can look more deeply under the hood of similar topics as in the online session. The price for this consultation is 15 000 CZK, and we can meet in Prague or Pilsen. I will charge travel expenses if you require me to travel somewhere else.
If you'd like to schedule a face-to-face consultation, please email me at consulting@romportl.com to set up a time and location.
Talks, Lectures and Workshops
starting at 15 000 CZK
I often give invited talks at conferences, lectures for target audiences (almost any combination on the business-academic and layman-professional scales), and half-day workshops. I can also create fully customized 1-3 day workshops for companies.
The price depends on the following factors: length, ready-made vs. custom-made topic and presentation, online vs. face-to-face, target audience, and desired impact.
I also provide free and pro-bono talks or lectures, especially for universities, non-profits, and other social impact cases. I enjoy these, but I limit them to two events per three months. If you think I might be interested in giving your audience a free talk, please email me.
Examples of typical scenarios:
90-minute online lecture on one of the ready-made topics: 15 000 CZK
90-minute face-to-face lecture on one of the ready-made topics: 25 000 CZK
custom-made lecture, including initial consultation and time for preparation: 30 000-60 000 CZK
workshops or brainstorming sessions: 35 000-45 000 CZK
pro-bono lecture: 0 CZK, only travel costs if outside Prague or Pilsen
If you'd like to organize a talk, lecture, or workshop, please email me at consulting@romportl.com to discuss the topic and technicalities.
Individual Deep Dive
starting at 45 000 CZK
Comprehensive and detailed consulting with a deep dive into your issues is excellent for complex topics and projects. Pricing is based on the individual scale of the project, starting at 45 000 CZK for the Initial Diagnostics Package (IDP).
You may also need regular supervision and consulting for your AI or data science teams. This typically involves one session per month with your team where I help them solve all possible issues they might be facing. Such a service is typically 45 000 CZK per a monthly session.
For top decision-makers (CEOs, entrepreneurs, investors, etc.) who value a trusted and independent partner for shaping their AI strategy, business, technology, compliance, or safety, I also offer a "partnership without a share" model.
A good way to begin a deep dive project with me:
1) Send me an email to consulting@romportl.com.
2) We'll most likely schedule IDP that takes about one day of interaction with you and/or people from your teams, preferably face-to-face, but longer remote sessions are OK too. This can also include my interviews with relevant stakeholders in due diligence.
3) Based on the IDP outcome, I'll provide a detailed plan of the next steps, and you'll make the ultimate decision.

The list is not comprehensive, and you might have different needs, which is absolutely OK and open for discussion. The price ranges are indicative and can vary significantly on an individual basis.
AI Audit
60 000-300 000 CZK
You’ll get an honest and straightforward external opinion on the real state of AI in your company. You’ll know where exactly you’re standing in terms of AI, if you’re bleeding somewhere, and if there is some untapped potential. I can also assess the ethical and fairness issues of your machine learning models with regard to the future EU AI Act.
I’ll be absolutely open and direct in all our F2F discussions, even when it comes to potentially painful internal topics. You’ll also receive a written report from me.
You’ll be saved from fudging and waffling of some internal stakeholders or “AI vendors” selling you snake oil. I will also protect you from the mumbo jumbo of big consulting companies who will in reality try to deploy with you inexperienced juniors for astronomic man-day rates.
The pricing depends on the size of your company and whether you want me to include the ethics assessment and EU AI Act readiness.
AI Strategy
60 000-900 000 CZK
You and your key stakeholders will receive a meaningful AI strategy for your company that will not only help your business grow, but it will also make it more resilient in the uncertain future, and it will include your readiness for EU AI Act and ethical compliance.
In this process, you will have me fully on your side, not representing any particular product or vendor. I will shape your AI strategy so that it will NOT become a bottomless black hole of expensive man-days of various outsourced or bodyshopped consultants, data scientists, and engineers. Instead, I will guide you in building your own in-house highly skilled and sustainable team that can hands-on execute your AI strategy. Or if you still need an external temporary team, I’ll be their watchdog who cannot be duped by a smart-sounding talk with lots of technical buzzwords. And if your best AI strategy is not to have AI at all, you’ll know this from me soon enough.
The pricing depends on the size of your company, and it is also suitable for small and medium businesses.
