Who to talk to and what to ask
Chief Actuary
“What's our plan for AI in contract management & review? Are we piloting, planning, or waiting?”
This tells you whether to experiment quietly or push for formal investment in manage contract lifecycle and obligations.
your actuarial modeling platform administrator or vendor
“What AI capabilities exist in our current actuarial modeling platform that we're not using? Most platforms are adding AI features faster than teams adopt them.”
The cheapest AI adoption is the features already included in your existing license.
a practitioner in contract management & review at another organization
“Have you deployed AI for manage contract lifecycle and obligations? What worked, what didn't, and what would you do differently?”
Peer experience is more useful than vendor demos. Find someone who has actually done this.
