Beyond our 235+ lessons: a fair, honest read on the right AI tools for your company and how you actually work. Strictly advisory — we take no money from AI vendors and sell no software or licenses. We're just here to point you in the right direction.
Independent advice measurably outperforms vendor-led advice — because the people selling you the tool can't also be the ones grading it.
How independent advisory scores against vendor-led advice across 10 weighted factors (5-pt scale). Widest gap: independence itself, 5.0 vs 1.0.
What a 200-seat AI rollout really costs all-in. That's the size of the decision we help you get right — before you commit.
Companies are moving to independent advisors as trust in vendor-led AI advice declines. We were built for exactly this.
Often, one redundant or over-tiered tool we help you cut covers the entire engagement fee.
A simple, honest process — we learn how your team works, test the real options against it, and hand you a decision you can act on.
We map how your teams actually work today — the tasks, current tools, data sensitivity, and where time leaks.
We weigh the real contenders against your workflows — capability, cost, security, and lock-in risk.
A documented answer: which tool for which job, what to skip, and a cost model for your real usage.
A plain rollout plan and a simple AI-use policy to start from. You buy direct — we don't sell or resell a thing.
Not a slide of vendor logos — a document your leadership can act on the same week.
The right AI for each workflow, with a named runner-up and why it lost.
Pay-per-use vs. subscriptions vs. credits, modeled on your actual volume — not list price.
Where your data goes, what to switch off, and the compliance flags per tool.
Pilot group, sequencing, and a simple internal AI-use policy to start from.
Every recommendation's weak spots, documented — nothing oversold.
A working session with your team to pressure-test the plan before you commit.
Every engagement is buyer-paid and vendor-neutral. Prices below are starting points — we confirm the fixed fee after a short scoping call, based on your team count and complexity.

Never. No affiliate fees, referral commissions, rev-share, or partner deals — from any AI vendor. You're the only one who pays us, which is the whole point. If we ever recommend a tool, it's because it's right for you, full stop.
No. We're strictly advisory. We tell you what fits and you buy it direct from whoever provides it — or from no one. We never touch the transaction, because the moment we did, we'd have a reason to steer you.
Great — we'll give you an honest second opinion. Sometimes the answer is "you chose well, keep it and here's how to get more out of it." Sometimes it's "here's a cheaper or better fit." Either way you'll know.
We advise and plan the direction; we don't build it or resell licenses. Keeping our hands off the implementation is exactly what keeps the advice neutral. We'll hand you a clear plan your team (or your existing IT partner) can execute.
We run LearningGPT — 235+ hands-on lessons across every major AI tool, kept current as they change. The same independent research behind the lessons is the research behind your recommendation. We've already done the homework on these tools; we're just applying it to your company.
Very little. A Snapshot is mostly async — a short questionnaire and one round of questions. An Assessment adds a few short interviews and a live readout, over 2–3 weeks. Fixed fee, agreed up front, no surprises.
Every conversation shows us what real companies are weighing and why — which feeds our lessons and research, which makes the next recommendation better. The independence compounds instead of wearing out.
Tell us how your team works and what you're weighing. We'll tell you what's worth paying for — and what isn't. No vendor whispering in our ear.
