Episode notes

Episode 115 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo dives into a fast-emerging contract term: the AI model change control. Lucas and Luna walk through a real negotiation between a global retailer and a major CRM vendor that swapped its underlying AI model mid-contract, causing a 12% drop in the retailer's lead scoring accuracy. They break down the contractual lever that locked in performance - a model change notification clause with a 90-day testing window - and explain how procurement teams are starting to embed this language into everything from sales tools to HR platforms. Specific, actionable, and rooted in a live deal from Q2 2026. #AIinEnterprise #Fortune500Procurement #VendorContractNegotiation #ModelChangeControl #AIProcurement #EnterpriseSoftware #SaaSContracts #ITGovernance #VendorRiskManagement #AIHallucinationLiability #EnterpriseTechnology #Business #Finance #TechStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LegalTech #AICompliance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
