Destination 03

Before you sign the AI contract, know what you are really buying.

A focused review for companies deciding whether to sign, renew, expand, renegotiate, or slow down an AI vendor or platform decision.

The demo can look clean. The contract can look urgent. The sales team can sound certain. This room slows the decision down just enough to see the real cost, fit, risk, and next move.

The view from outside the sales call

Independent judgment before the vendor's story becomes your operating plan.

The real question

Not "does this AI look impressive?" The question is whether it fits your work, data, team, risk, and budget.

The finish

A clear recommendation leadership can understand: buy, pilot, renegotiate, wait, or use what you already have.

Common moments

This is useful before the signature, not after the regret.

Use it for Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude, Gemini, Salesforce, HubSpot, ServiceNow, vertical SaaS AI modules, chatbot vendors, automation platforms, or agent systems.

Investment

  • Focused vendor decision: $10,000-$25,000.
  • Multi-vendor platform decision: $35,000-$75,000.
  • Private sprint upgrade: available when governance and board materials are also needed.

Start

If the vendor is asking for a yes, get a second lens first.

Send the decision you are facing. We will tell you if it belongs in a focused review, a private sprint, or the Council.
