The Problem

Why AI Projects Stall Without a Map.

01

Bought, Never Used

Licenses pile up after the demo and auto-renew while the tool sits idle.

02

Paid-For Advice

Most recommendations come from someone who gets paid when you sign.

03

Locked in Early

Annual contracts and proprietary formats trap you in a platform that looked right in the demo.

What You Get

Deliverables You Can Act On.

Scored Shortlist

Three to five options ranked against your stack: where each wins, where it breaks, and cost.

Independent Evaluation

We take no vendor commissions. The recommendation is the one we would run ourselves.

Hands-On Proof

We test top candidates against your real data and workflows, so the verdict comes from use.

Lock-In Read

Before you commit, we map the switching cost: data portability, contract terms, and exit friction.

A Named Operator

A named engineer owns the evaluation and stays through rollout, the next vendor question, and renewals.

How It Works

From First Call to Final Roadmap.

01

Free Audit

Thirty minutes, no pitch. You leave with a written diagnosis.

02

Evaluate and Prove

Over two to four weeks we shortlist, test top candidates against your data, and hand you a scored recommendation.

03

Stay Through Rollout

Your operator owns the account past the decision, handling rollout, the next vendor question, and renewals.

For teams whose tool spend has outrun their strategy and who want an independent read from a partner who runs it.

Questions

Questions to Ask Before You Commit.

A report, or does someone own it?

A named operator owns it, makes the call with you, and stays through rollout and renewals. The recommendation is theirs to answer for.

What does the engagement cost?

Priced against one wrong platform decision: a year of the wrong contract plus the cost of switching off it. Scope sets the band.

We use specific tools. Must they go?

No. We start from what you own, keep what works, and run any changes on your accounts.
