An extensive analysis tool, perhaps; a simple syntax checker (which I
believe was the suggested application) might not be so expensive. I
certainly written simple parsers for applications like pretty-printers
without much effort, and without using ASIS.

It also depends upon how many users there will be for the tool; whether
there are issues that limit the networking (or other transfer of files)
between different computer systems; and whether there are business issues
related to purchasing hardware (for example, some companies limit the
allowed configurations, so the computers might not be as cheap as you
think!).
