Working notes
The solution map →34 vendors
AI commerce vendors filed by the problem they solve, with my relationship to each one declared in the row.
The call digests →4 calls written up
What retailers actually ask me, anonymised and published with their agreement. The questions I ask back are the part worth reading.
Retailers call me before they commit.
No invoice.
You get my read on who is any good at the thing you are trying to fix.
