How it works —

Four steps to membership

Step 01

Apply

Submit your application with your name, title, company, and work email. No questionnaires. No sales calls.

Step 02

Meet the team

We schedule a 30-minute introductory call. We walk through the research, answer your questions, and learn about your AI deployment. This is how we get to know each member personally.

Step 03

Participate in the Pulse

Complete the AI Enterprise Pulse — a 30-minute quarterly study covering your spend, vendors, and strategic priorities. This is the engine that produces everything else.

Step 04

Receive your intelligence

Within 24 hours: your AI Vital Stats Tear Sheet. After the study closes: the quarterly Pulse Report with aggregated findings across the panel.

Ready when you are.

Applications reviewed within two business days.

What membership looks like —

More than a report

Your tear sheet arrives within 24 hours. The one-page summary your board has been asking for.

Your peer comparison lands after the study closes. For the first time, you know where you actually stand.

The indices update quarterly. You stop guessing where the market is going.

The dinners happen in your market. You leave with real connections, not a stack of business cards.

Private dinners —

Intimate gatherings. No agenda. Chatham House Rule.

You leave a dinner with three things: people you’ll actually follow up with, a clearer view of what your peers are dealing with, and something concrete to bring back to your team the next morning.
