What this says
Current to 13 Oct 26Draft proposal from Tom Ashdown for a Starter-tier company brain: £20k first-year subscription plus £6,000 implementation, £26k total Year 1. It is a proposal, not a signed contract, and states no availability or P1 response figures.
What it is: a version 1 proposal dated 31 Jul 2024, marked "Status: Draft", prepared by Tom Ashdown, Account Executive. It covers the Starter tier with 15 users (soft limit) and up to 4 connectors (hard limit).
Commits: nothing binding. It prices "Starter subscription (first year)" at £20k and "Implementation (4 weeks)" at £6,000, giving "Total Year 1" of £26k. It says the subscription renews annually and implementation is a one-off cost.
Unusual: nothing off the standard Starter terms. The target is "Live by: September 2024", and the scope is split into discovery, build and launch of two weeks each.
Not settled: the proposal names no service levels, credits or payment terms. It does not show whether an order form was signed, and an executed order form would override these figures.

Body
Marsden Vale Recruitment, Company Brain Proposal
Version: 1 Status: Draft Date: 31 Jul 2024
Executive Summary
Marsden Vale Recruitment spends significant time reconciling client accounts, open roles and invoices across multiple systems. The Company Brain will unify this data and allow the team to answer key questions instantly: which clients are active, which roles are live, and what revenue is at risk.
Current Challenges
- Recruitment records held in CRM, invoices in accounting system, separate spreadsheets for role management
- Sales team manually cross-references systems to build client views
- Decisions delayed whilst team members search multiple systems
- No single source of truth for live roles and client status
Proposed Solution
The Company Brain is an AI-queryable layer over Marsden Vale's data, deployed inside the customer's own Snowflake account. The brain can answer natural language questions about clients, roles, invoices and outcomes in seconds.
Tier: Starter Users: 15 (soft limit) Connectors: up to 4 (hard limit) Data Sources: CRM, accounting system, email, call recordings
