Engagement Models
PreMetric engagements are bounded and finite. Pricing reflects decision capacity, not software access, monitoring, or ongoing service dependencies.
Two decision domains
PreMetric operates across two distinct contexts. Both follow the same structured methodology and produce documented, defensible outcomes.
Enterprise AI Decisions
Organisations deploying AI under board oversight
Internal deployment decisions where accountability, risk, and governance must be documented before initiatives proceed.
Decision records, board-ready materials, and portfolio-level prioritisation guidance.
Capital & Transaction Decisions
PE, M&A, hedge funds, and strategic investors
AI risk as valuation risk. Assessment of AI-driven assumptions embedded in acquisitions, investments, and portfolio companies.
Due diligence documentation, IC materials, valuation risk assessments, and exit-readiness records.
Enterprise AI Decisions
For organisations deploying AI internally under board oversight. All engagements are finite and conclude with documented decision records.
Single Decision Review
Complete assessment of one AI initiative, resulting in a documented recommendation and decision record suitable for board review and regulatory inquiry.
Scope
- —One AI deployment initiative
- —Complete application of the PreMetric decision framework
- —Board-ready materials
Deliverables
- —Documented recommendation: approve, modify, stop, or reassess
- —Complete decision record with supporting rationale
- —Executive summary for board review
Pricing reflects initiative complexity and capital exposure.
Decision Portfolio
Assessment of multiple AI initiatives within a defined portfolio to support prioritisation and comparative decision-making.
Scope
- —Multiple initiatives evaluated concurrently
- —Comparative assessment across initiatives
- —Portfolio-level decision coherence
Deliverables
- —Individual decision records per initiative
- —Portfolio-level prioritisation guidance
- —Consolidated risk and value overview
Pricing based on number of initiatives and portfolio complexity.
Annual AI Decision Program
Pre-allocated decision capacity for organisations with recurring AI deployment decisions.
This is not a subscription and not ongoing oversight. Capacity is consumed only when decisions are required.
Structure
- —Pre-allocated decision capacity
- —Flexible timing aligned to organisational needs
- —Integration with governance and approval cycles
Advantages
- —Predictable access to decision support
- —Consistent methodology across initiatives
- —Strategic coherence over time
Annual commitment with capacity allocated to discrete decisions as needed.
Capital & Transaction Decisions
For PE, M&A, hedge funds, and investors. AI risk is valuation risk. PreMetric evaluates AI assumptions embedded in transactions.
Transaction Due Diligence
Assessment of AI-driven value assumptions in acquisition, investment, or merger contexts.
Target evaluation
AI value claims, deployment readiness, and exposure
IC support
Documentation supporting investment committee decisions
Deal structuring
Valuation adjustments informed by AI risk assessment
Pricing reflects transaction size and AI complexity.
Portfolio Company Assessment
Post-acquisition evaluation of AI deployment decisions within portfolio companies.
Deployment decisions
Should initiatives proceed, be modified, or paused?
Value realisation
Validity of AI assumptions supporting the investment thesis
Exit readiness
Documentation supporting AI value claims at exit
Engagement aligned with value-creation timelines.
Strategic Investment Review
Evaluation of AI deployment strategies for hedge funds, growth equity, or strategic investors.
Competitive assessment
Is AI strategy defensible?
Execution credibility
Can strategy be delivered as claimed?
Risk quantification
Downside scenarios and probability assessment
Designed for investor decision-making timelines.
Decision Assurance Reviews
Episodic reassessment of deployed AI initiatives. Not monitoring. Not certification.
Reviews are triggered by defined events -- not by calendar. Each produces an updated decision record confirming or revising the original determination.
Initial Decision
Approve, Modify, Stop, or Reassess
Decision record established with documented assumptions and conditions.
Regulatory Change
Event TriggerNew regulation or guidance issued
Reassessment evaluates whether prior decision remains defensible under new requirements.
Incident or Failure
Event TriggerOperational incident or assumption invalidation
Review whether deployment conditions still hold and decision record requires update.
Strategic Pivot
Event TriggerOrganisational or market shift
Assess whether original value and risk assumptions remain valid under changed strategy.
Annual Confirmation
Event TriggerPeriodic defensibility check
Confirm deployment decision remains sound. Update decision record as institutional evidence.
Decision Assurance Reviews are episodic, not continuous. They maintain decision defensibility by confirming assumptions still hold -- not by monitoring system behaviour.
