Where Raava fits
Raava versus DIY versus a Big-3 consultancy.
The closest substitutes for what we do, side by side. Numbers are honest about the trade-offs.
Criterion | DIY in-houseyour team · your tools | Big-3 consultancyDeloitte / Accenture tier | Raavaaudit · pilot · ship |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to first measurable ROI | 6–18 modepends on team's prior AI build experience | 3–6 mofaster, but discovery phase is half of it | 30–90 daysaudit to first shipped workflow |
| Hours your team puts in | 200–400 hrsspread across 6–18 months | 40–80 hrsworkshops, interviews, sign-off cycles | 20–40 hrsaudit, weekly check-ins, sign-off |
| Built for Australian SME context | Depends on team. AU-specific tool integrations (HotDoc, Karbon, Xero PM) are your build to learn. | Generic enterprise frameworks adapted at the edges. SME-specific tools rarely in the playbook. | Core focus. Three verticals (healthcare, professional services, retail) with named integration patterns. |
| Strategy deck deliverable | If your team chooses to write one for internal alignment. | Always. The deck IS the deliverable for the first phase. | Never. If a deck is what your board needs to sign off, Raava is not your fit. |
| Build alongside your existing tools | Yes, but you absorb the integration learning curve per tool. | Usually proposes a rip-and-replace platform recommendation. | Default. We extend HotDoc, Karbon, Shopify, Xero PM. No "rip and replace". |
| Minimum project commitment | $0if internal headcount carries it | $80k+strategy phase before any code ships | $5k pilotaudit free; pilot priced before scoping the full build |
Effort and time ranges drawn from audit conversations across the three Raava verticals, supplemented by publicly listed Big-3 tender pricing. Updated quarterly.
