Procurement, on your side of the table.
Who asks.
Firms that have a decision to make and nobody with the time to make it well: a new practice system, a backup for the cloud suite, an AI note taker, the generative AI vendors a growth team will build on, a security provider. Firms that have chosen alone before and want company this time. And firms that want the vendors they already have held to what they promised.
What we look at.
- What you need, in your words, before any vendor gets a say.
- The market: we have usually already seen the company in The world according to capital, and who backs it.
- What each tool can reach once it is inside, and how it is built.
- Who is behind it, and whether they will still be around when you need them.
- The terms: price, exit, where the data lives, what happens when it fails.
- How it lands: onboarding, access, who owns it inside your firm.
What you get.
- A written comparison with our recommendation.
- The terms we negotiated, before you sign.
- A supplier that is set up safely, with your own people owning it.
- No commissions, from anyone, ever.
How it goes.
What you need
A conversation with the people who will use it, and the ones who will answer for it.
The shortlist
We research the market and bring you three to five that fit, with what we already know about each.
The interviews
We put the hard questions to each vendor, test what can be tested, and pre-negotiate the terms.
Your decision
You approve one. We onboard it, set the access, and hand it to your people.
Questions.
Do you get paid by the vendors?
No. You pay us and nobody else does, and we are self-funded, so there is no investor behind us either. That is the only way a recommendation is worth anything.
Can you just check one tool we already picked?
Yes. That is a shorter job: what it can reach, how it is built, who is behind it, and the terms. You get the same written verdict.
What about AI tools?
They are the ones most firms let in without looking. We check what each one can reach, where what it sees ends up, and how to set it up so your people can use it without worrying.
