AI ROI Vendor Proposal Review
About 2 weeks. Fixed scope and fee.
For a vendor proposal on your desk.
You know whether to sign before you sign. We test the vendor’s claimed cost and return as a business case, using your own KPIs. We flag the risks to confirm with your own counsel and IT. We also clarify who owns the relationship after signing. The verdict is Buy, Build, Partner or Pass.
-
Get Ready
About 6 weeks. Fixed fee, 50% at start and 50% at delivery.
For companies with more AI ideas than budget, or an idea they’re not sure is ready.
Business readiness debt is every readiness step a company skipped each time it rolled out technology. Get Ready finds yours and puts the fixes in order.
-You know which AI ideas to fund. We rank your ideas by value, readiness and risk. Each one ties to a financial target you already report.
-You see what to fix first. We check leadership, strategy, data, people, process and competitive position. You get the skipped steps in the order that protects the return.
-You get a verdict on any vendor proposal. Buy, Build, Partner or Pass.
-You hear it if an idea isn’t ready. Waiting is a real outcome. You get the answer before you spend, along with what to fix first.

Lead the Rollout
6 months. Fixed monthly fee, with a set end date.
For companies spending on AI that isn’t paying off, or about to start. It builds on what Get Ready finds. If you’re already mid-rollout, start with Get Ready. We rebuild the business case first, then lead from there.
Part-time Business-Side AI leadership, working alongside your team. We make sure every AI decision gets made on time by the right person. We track the return against the business case you approved and report it to your executives. Your team does the work.
-You see the return forming or slipping while you can still act. We track what the rollout really costs, including change work and delays, against the business case you approved.
-AI that stops earning its place gets stopped early. Every use case ties to a business outcome. Your leaders agree up front who can pause or stop an initiative.
-You can prove whether it worked. We lock the starting measurements before launch, so results get compared with facts, not memory. Each data set has an owner, so every access request has a decision maker.
-Every AI program has one accountable owner. Decisions that used to take five meetings go to one person. We plan adoption before launch and protect your people’s time to change how they work.
-The process is ready before the technology arrives. AI works best on documented processes, so we confirm that first. Then we test the vendor’s delivery against your business case.
-What your best people know stays in the company. We get their know-how documented, so the next rollout doesn’t start from zero.
-
Hand It Over
The last 6 weeks of the rollout. The date is set on day one. Included.
By the end, your team runs it without us. This is a real transition, planned from day one, not a handoff meeting.
-We run it together. We lead the decision cadence and return tracking while your leader shadows every call.
-Your leader runs it, and we coach. Your team presents the return to your executives. We step in only where needed.
-We step back. You keep the tracking, the executive reporting and a regular review that keeps the return improving.
-The role is defined. We define the Business-Side AI Leadership Role, so you can assign a current leader or hire one. We brief that leader before we leave.
