What this is

I work with Data/AI vendors in two phases:

1. Paid evaluation first (structured, time boxed, repeatable).
2. If it’s a fit, optional sponsorship to my audience (newsletter, podcast, YouTube, LinkedIn) with clear deliverables and disclosure.

This keeps promotion credible and protects both sides.

Capacity + gates

I’m keeping this intentionally limited while I finish my book.

• Capacity: 2 evaluation slots per month
• Next availability: Late-February, 2026
• New partners: evaluation-first (no unpaid “try our product” loops)
• Approvals: factual accuracy only (no tone or editorial control)
• Sponsorship: optional, not guaranteed, and only after a “Go” (or I already know the product deeply)

Expedite (optional)

• Start within 14 business days: +25%
• Start within 7 business days: +50%
