Before the first question

Answer for one AI-enabled offer

Think about one AI-enabled product or service you offer today, or plan to launch. Answer for that offer using the capabilities you currently have.

Choose the closest answer. A capability that is only planned should not be treated as already working.

Commercial rules · Govern

Question 1 of 8

How clearly have you defined what customers buy and how usage is controlled for your AI-enabled service?(Required)

Depending on the service, think about if you need to track or control usage and when. For example after it occurs, enforce limits as limits are reached, or authorize consumption before the service begins.

We have not agreed a consumption control model yet, when we know we need one.

We have a proposed model, but some terms still need agreement.

The model and terms are agreed but applying them requires change across our commercial systems and operations.

The model and terms are agreed and consistently managed by our commercial systems and operations.

Question 2 of 8

How do you manage allowances, budgets or commercial usage rules for your traditional non-AI products?(Required)

Think about included usage, credits, spending limits, customer entitlements, cost control, bill shock or shared allowances, wherever they apply to your offer.

We don’t currently manage our products based on consumption.

We track them manually or in separate records like MS Excel.

Systems manage some rules, but important exceptions need manual handling.

The rules are maintained consistently and made available by our current systems and operations for the products and services that need them.

Pricing flexibility · Value

Question 3 of 8

How well does your charging unit match what customers understand and buy?(Required)

The right unit might be tokens, API requests, documents, workflows, credits or verified outcomes. No particular pricing model earns a higher score.

We have not agreed a charging unit.

We have chosen a unit, but have not established how it relates to delivered service activity.

We can measure the unit, but converting activity into charges involves manual work or systems/vendor development.

We reliably convert service activity into the agreed unit, with evidence to explain the charge.

Pricing flexibility · Value

Question 4 of 8

How easily can you change the pricing and packaging this offer needs?(Required)

Consider subscriptions, included usage, credits, commitments, tiers and overage where relevant. You do not need to support every model to score well.

Each material change requires substantial engineering or a separate billing workaround.

Some changes are configurable, but new packages or charging rules usually require engineering.

Most required changes are configurable, with manual testing or updates across systems.

We can configure, test and introduce the required changes through a controlled process, with limited engineering support.

Customer control · Act

Question 5 of 8

When consumption approaches a limit, can you take the action your customer agreement requires?(Required)

The response might be a notification, approved overage, top-up, throttling or authorization before further access. The appropriate control depends on the service and its financial exposure.

We do not have a reliable way to detect the situation or respond.

We detect it retrospectively and decide what to do manually.

We have automated alerts or some service controls, but have not tested whether they respond in time.

We have tested detection and the required response within an acceptable window for this service.

I’m not sure

Customer control · Act

Question 6 of 8

How well can you connect the cost of delivering this service with the revenue it generates?(Required)

Consider model, compute, API and other material delivery costs. Detailed margin visibility depends on the available cost data and how it is allocated.

We cannot reliably connect delivery costs with the offer’s revenue.

We have broad cost estimates, but limited visibility by customer or service.

We can compare allocated costs and revenue for relevant customers or services, mainly through aggregated periodic review.

We use that comparison regularly to identify exposure and adjust pricing, packages or consumption policies.

I’m not sure

Billing confidence · Bill

Question 7 of 8

How well do AI-based consumption charges fit into the customer’s wider bill?(Required)

An integrated approach can use one platform or several connected systems. The assessment measures how reliably they work together.

We do not yet have a reliable process for combining them.

We combine them through spreadsheets or manual billing adjustments.

Connected systems combine the charges, but important terms or exceptions still require manual handling.

We reliably apply the offer’s subscriptions, included usage, additional charges and relevant billing terms together.

I’m not sure

Billing confidence · Bill

Question 8 of 8

If a customer questions a charge or usage, how confidently can you explain and verify it?(Required)

Customers need understandable charges. Your teams need the usage, pricing and adjustment evidence behind them. AI agents can further make these easier.

We cannot reliably reconstruct how the charge was calculated or balance was achieved.

We can investigate, but evidence is scattered and reconciliation is mainly manual.

We can trace charges or balance to usage and pricing terms, but some reconciliation or explanation gaps remain.

We can explain included and additional usage and balances, trace the calculation and reconcile the supporting records.
