What you get on each tier

Standard brief vs Deep Research

A standard Decision Brief generates in about 90 seconds. The advisory panel runs your question through a structured analysis grounded in how a former CIO at your size and industry would approach the call. You get the bottom line, the options with cost ranges, an explicit recommendation, and a risk register, on screen and in real time. Standard briefs are free for your first ask and unlimited on Pro.

A Deep Research Brief takes 10 to 15 minutes because the panel pulls live vendor pricing from the web, builds a side-by-side comparison matrix across 8+ criteria, models total cost of ownership across 3 and 5 year horizons, and generates a phased implementation roadmap with risk scoring. You receive it as a board-ready PDF in your inbox. Deep Research is included in Pro at 2 credits per month, or available as a one-time purchase at $99 without a subscription.

What's not in the price

Honest about the trade-offs

  • Per-seat or team pricing is not currently offered. Each subscription is for one decision-maker.
  • Deep Research credits do not roll over from month to month. Use them or lose them.
  • Pro does not include human-advisor calls. For that, talk to Seven Roots Consulting directly.
  • Refunds: Pro is non-refundable mid-cycle, but cancellation takes effect at period end. Deep Research is refunded in full if generation fails.
