Second Opinion
An honest read on the AI you've been sold, from someone with nothing to sell you.
You've approved an AI project, or you're about to. The vendor's demo looked great, your team is excited, maybe the board is asking questions. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a small voice is asking: is this actually going to work? Second Opinion is an independent review of a specific AI vendor, proposal, or project already underway. We compare what was promised with what's being built, and look hard at the plan, the costs, the risks, and whether your processes and people are ready for it. You get a written verdict in plain English: what's solid, what's oversold, what to ask before you sign, and whether to proceed. We don't sell software, we don't take vendor commissions, and we won't turn a review into a pitch to build it ourselves. The only thing we gain is telling you what's true.
TLDR
- Vendors are paid to be optimistic. You need someone who isn't.
- Most AI projects that fail show the warning signs early — unclear goals, messy data, nobody owning adoption.
- A few weeks of review costs far less than six months of the wrong project.
Outcomes
- A review of the vendor's claims, the plan, the costs, and the risks.
- A plain-English written verdict: proceed, change course, or stop.
- The specific questions to ask before you sign or approve the next phase.
- Typically 2–3 weeks, with no obligation to buy anything afterward.
