A Free Companion

The Meeting Guide

The questions AI teams should ask — before the decision, not after.

Every failed AI project had meetings. The problem was not the number of meetings. It was that nobody asked the questions that would have changed the outcome. This free companion to The Forgotten Lessons pulls the sharpest questions from all six field guides and organises them by the stage of the project where they matter most — before you commit, before you build, during the pilot, when something goes wrong, at rollout or renewal. By Patrice Price.

A few of the questions

Before you commit

What is the real operating cost of this workflow — not just the subscription price?

Before you build

Who owns acceptance of the AI output — by name, not by role?

When something goes wrong

If this failure involves the vendor, what does the contract actually say about liability and remediation?

The guide is built to be used in the room, not just read: print it, mark the questions that matter for your project, and ask them before the decisions are made. The ones that make the room uncomfortable are usually the ones most worth asking.
