Most AI decisions in this market are made on a vendor's slide deck. These three tools let you make yours on your own numbers instead. Nothing here is gated behind a sales call, and every one of them can tell you that the answer is no.
Fifteen questions across data, process, people, governance and mandate. It gives you a score out of 60, and more usefully, it names the one dimension that will stop your project regardless of how strong the other four are.
Score your organisation →Put in the task, the people, the hours and the loaded cost. It returns hours freed, monthly saving, payback period and year-one net, in shillings or dollars. It also tells you when the saving is not real.
Run the numbers →Ten questions to score any AI vendor before you sign: data residency, processing terms, human override, audit trail, exit cost, total cost, support and track record. Low scores become contract clauses.
Score a vendor →Because the most expensive AI mistake in East Africa is not choosing the wrong tool. It is starting a project the organisation was never ready to finish, and discovering that eight months and a budget cycle later. If these tools talk you out of a project, they have done their job and cost you nothing.
The paper equivalents, for taking into a meeting where nobody wants to look at a phone.
The AI resource library carries the AI Acceptable Use Policy template, the vendor scorecard as a printable sheet, the 30-day pilot plan, the board briefing deck and the East African AI cost baseline.
