The Three Most Expensive Sentences in Mid-Market Software
“We'll just renew.”
The average legacy vertical platform costs its mid-market customer six figures a year, for a roadmap that froze years ago. Renewing may still be the right call. But renewing blind means negotiating against a vendor who knows your switching cost better than you do.
$100K–$500K/yr
“We'll add AI later.”
If you own a software product, 'later' is being decided by your competitors. AI-native competitors may already be introducing the features that aren't on your roadmap/plan, while customer churn can build gradually, before it starts becoming visible in your reports.
Decided by rivals
“The consultant will figure it out.”
AI consultants bill by the hour, and the first several weeks of most engagements are discovery, where they learn what you already know but never documented. That's a five-figure invoice for your own information.
$15–25K discovery
From “I Should Look Into This” to a Board-Ready Plan in Four Steps.

5-year cost - rent vs. build ($K)
The Pattern We Keep Finding
A multi-state field-operations company was paying roughly $200K a year to rent a 15-year-old vertical platform, alongside hundreds of similar companies renting the same one.
Our audit-style analysis showed a purpose-built, AI-native replacement would pay for itself within the contract cycle, and that the peer market could support an entirely new platform.
Today that company anchors a co-built product it helped shape, on economics no vendor would ever offer.
Outcomes vary. That is precisely why.
$ Reports are produced by a pipeline that pairs Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic's frontier model) with our engagement playbooks, live market research, and a named human analyst who reviews every strategic report before it ships.
$ AI drafts; analysts verify; every external figure carries a source.
$ Your data is used to produce your report and our anonymized annual benchmark — never sold, never used to train models, deleted on request.
Questions Serious Buyers Ask
The preliminary is AI-generated based on your structured answers and is clearly labeled as such. The $999 strategic report is AI-drafted, then reviewed, corrected, and signed off by a named analyst, and includes a 60-minute call with our team. No strategic report ships without human review.
