What a Machine Learning Project Really Costs (2D)

2D cost-breakdown chart: the same build-vs-buy, hidden-cost and multi-year total-cost-of-ownership model as the 3D version, read as a flat bar chart and a year-by-year TCO line.

This 2D companion runs the same build-vs-buy, hidden-cost and multi-year cost model as the 3D cost-tower version through a flat bar chart built for reading the numbers rather than orbiting a scene: pick a project size, toggle build-in-house versus buying a vendor platform, switch the hidden-cost layer on or off, and slide the time horizon to watch data, compute, talent, tooling, integration and maintenance costs compound into a real total-cost-of-ownership figure, with a side panel breaking every category down to the dollar and a line chart tracing how the total grows from year 1 to year 5.

⚙ Under the hood

2D cost-breakdown lab: the same six-category budget model (data, compute, talent, tooling, integration, maintenance) as the 3D version, with build-vs-buy multipliers, a hidden-cost layer and year-over-year total-cost-of-ownership compounding, rendered as a bar chart plus a 1–5 year TCO line.
