Enough to frame the problem accurately: which decision is actually in front of you, who owns the outcome, what is already in place, and any prior attempt at the same thing. A small number of structured conversations, not a lengthy audit. If you already have a shortlist, bring it - it usually becomes the starting point rather than something we set aside.
It is for you if a technology decision is coming up that is too expensive or too visible to get wrong, and you want a read on it from someone who does not sell the platform.
It is not a sales call with a different name. We will tell you honestly whether an independent read is worth your time - including if the answer is no. And if you want a product demonstration instead, say so when you book and that is what you will get.

No. The session exists to work out whether an independent read is useful to you. If it is not, we say so.
No. Understanding the decision and the neutral evaluation that follows it are commonly run as a standalone engagement. Each stage is scoped and priced separately.
Yes - an existing shortlist usually becomes the starting point of the evaluation rather than something we discard.
Yes. Say so when you book.
We do not publish attributed client quotes until the client has reviewed and approved them, so this section fills as engagements complete and permissions are confirmed, rather than carrying composite or paraphrased quotes. If a reference matters to your decision now, raise it in the session and we will connect you with a comparable past client where confidentiality allows. Published work is on Client success stories.
