Procurement & Finance
Evaluate AI Vendors the Right Way — Before You Commit
NextForge gives procurement and finance leaders a structured pathway to test AI solutions at low cost, with full legal coverage and budget accountability before any contract is signed.
Designed for procurement officers and CFOs evaluating AI software spend at mid-market and enterprise.
YOUR CHALLENGES
We Know What Keeps You Up at Night
Budget Committed to Unproven Vendors
You signed a 12-month SaaS contract before the pilot delivered results. When it does not perform, you are locked in — and explaining it to the board.
Contracts Without Pilot Clauses
Standard vendor agreements are not built for AI pilots. The scope creeps, the deliverables are vague, and there is no structured exit when the tool underperforms.
Procurement Cycles Are Too Slow
Your procurement process was designed for SaaS renewals, not fast-moving AI evaluation. By the time approval clears, the business need has shifted.
HOW NEXTFORGE HELPS
Structured. Fast. De-Risked.
Zero-Commitment Pilot Structure
NextForge pilots are governed by a Master Pilot Agreement — not your standard vendor contract. No hidden renewals, no lock-in. Evaluate first, decide later.
Defined Cost Ceilings
Pilot budgets are scoped upfront. Every engagement has a defined cost ceiling, milestone checkpoints, and documented deliverables. Finance knows exactly what is at risk.
Legal & Compliance Built In
MPA covers IP ownership, data handling, liability caps, and exit rights. Your legal team reviews once, then it applies to every pilot in the marketplace.
Pilot Before You Procure.
Evaluate AI vendors on budget, on schedule, with legal protection.
