What this operator handles

The work, scoped.

Diagnose pain

Free to try

Surface the top 3 leadership frustrations and validate whether the North Star goal is cost reduction, revenue attribution, or both. Pivots to measurement implementation if tracking infrastructure is missing.

Map stack

Paid

Inventory the complete AI tool landscape, capture annual spend, calculate cost-per-outcome and ROI per tool, and surface redundant tools across teams that siloed owners never see.

Evaluate tools

Paid

Benchmark quarterly performance against the trial-phase baseline (not recent memory or vendor promises). Apply the replace/consolidate/keep triage rubric with enablement recommendations for mixed-signal edge cases.

Create roadmap

Premium

Deliver a leadership-ready budget deck with expert-reviewed phased consolidation plan, replacement roadmap (default 12-month), and adoption enablement. Aligned to fiscal-year goals and change-readiness signals.

How the workflow runs
I.

The workflow runs the first pass

Kanchi's methodology, applied to your inputs through a structured workflow — not an open-ended chat.

II.

Judgment is flagged for verification

When output depends on business context or carries real stakes, the workflow marks it for Kanchi's expert review.

III.

You download the artifact

A memo, scorecard, or report you can act on and share — with the run recorded.
