85% of AI projects fail to deliver promised value.

The #1 cause? Picking the wrong vendor.

Most companies sign AI contracts based on:

Sales demos that hide limitations

Marketing claims with no validation

Contracts that lock you in with no exit

Pricing that balloons after year one

This kit fixes that.
