What has to be true before you buy
- 01The friction is genuinely at sales engagement. Buying at the wrong stage moves the bottleneck, it does not remove it.
- 02Ownership varies by company. Sales, Leadership, People or Customer Support can own this. Whoever it is owns the outcome, not just the licence. Unowned tools are adopted for a quarter and then quietly turned off.
- 03You can name the task it replaces and the hours that task costs today. If you cannot, the saving is unmeasurable.
- 04Adoption level 2 of 5. Level 1 is one tool and no workflow change. Level 5 is an agent running the work with a human auditing it.
- 05The vendor does not publish pricing. Ask for the billable unit, the overage rate, and the cap in writing before you sign.
- 06We found a minimum of 2 published case studies for this tool. There may be more we have not found. Read the sample size and the baseline before you quote any number.
