AI & Vendor Advisory
Everyone's selling AI. We tell you which ones are worth buying.
What this feels like — in your words.
For UA Locals and JATCs
Every software vendor in your inbox now claims to be "AI-powered." You can't tell which ones actually do something useful and which ones just bolted a chatbot onto their old product. Your members are using ChatGPT, your instructors are wondering whether to allow AI in the classroom, and your trustees are asking what your AI policy is. You don't have one.
For healthcare clinics
AI tools in healthcare aren't a future problem anymore. Industry reports suggest over 60% of healthcare organizations are not ready for stricter AI-related HIPAA enforcement in 2026. If a vendor's AI touches PHI, you need a Business Associate Agreement — no exceptions. Most clinics underestimate this. "Anonymous" datasets can sometimes be re-identified when combined with other data, creating unexpected HIPAA exposure. You can't say yes to every vendor pitching AI. You also can't say no to all of them.
For construction contractors
You're being pitched AI estimation, AI scheduling, AI project controls, and AI design tools. Some of them will change how you operate. Most of them won't survive the year. The ones that do survive will require integration with your existing accounting, scheduling, and project management — and most vendors are lying about how well that integration works.
We help you pick the right tools. Honestly. We don't take commissions from vendors. We don't make money when you buy more software. If something's not right for you, we say so. If something we don't sell is the right answer, we tell you that too.
We read the contracts. We test the integrations. We tell you what's worth your budget and what's not.
The actual deliverables.

Anyone who's tired of vendor pitches that don't match reality. Anyone whose team is using AI tools without a policy. Anyone who got burned on a software purchase last year and doesn't want to do it again.
