For CIOs & technology leaders

See the lock-in before you sign, not after.

Integration debt, data portability, and model dependence only surface when you try to leave. Benchside maps those decisions up front and quantifies the cost to exit.

The problem

Lock-in is invisible at signing

Proprietary formats and exit costs surface only when you try to leave.

Demos hide reality

What's shown in the demo isn't always what's committed in writing.

AI vendors move the goalposts

Model deprecation, behaviour changes, and quality SLAs aren't in standard contracts.

What you get

  • Architecture decision map with lock-in rankings and a quantified exit cost.
  • Demo-to-reality audit that catches demo-ware.
  • AI-specific clauses: model-deprecation notice, quality SLA, weight return on exit.
  • Switching-cost projections at year 3, 5, and 7.
