Buyer principle

Do not buy “AI.” Buy a defined operational change.

A serious proposal should name the current workflow, future workflow, systems involved, data accessed, AI task, human authority, failure path, owner, metric, cost, and acceptance criteria.

See the Chatoner delivery standard
Proof principle

Do not accept a metric without the baseline and formula.

Ask whether the result represents saved time, capacity value, recovered opportunity, booked revenue, collected revenue, error reduction, or service improvement—and how it was measured.
