FEATURED PLAYBOOK

Build an infrastructure requirement that can be answered.

A useful brief describes the outcome, constraints and decision conditions—not only a preferred GPU or a target price.

GUIDE 01REQUIREMENTS

The AI infrastructure brief

Define workload, scale, region, timing, operating model and commercial boundaries before approaching the market.

Preview guide
  • State the business and workload outcome.
  • Separate fixed constraints from preferences.
  • Define the evidence needed to decide.
Apply to a requirement →Open gateway
GUIDE 02COMPUTE

Choosing an access model

Understand when PAYG, reserved, dedicated or enterprise sourcing may fit—and which questions change the answer.

Preview guide
  • Map utilization and timing uncertainty.
  • Compare flexibility against commitment.
  • Review support, topology and exit rights.
Apply to a requirement →Compute models
GUIDE 03ECONOMICS

The true-cost lens

Compare utilization, data movement, storage, support, term and exit exposure alongside the entered compute rate.

Preview guide
  • Normalize the commercial time basis.
  • Add data, support and utilization exposure.
  • Make term and exit assumptions visible.
Apply to a requirement →Pricing intelligence
GUIDE 04REGIONS

Regional readiness

Test site, power, cooling, network, regulatory and operating conditions without treating every market as interchangeable.

Preview guide
  • Define latency and residency boundaries.
  • Test site, power and cooling readiness.
  • Confirm operational and network conditions.
Apply to a requirement →Regional framework
GUIDE 05EVIDENCE

Supplier evidence standards

Separate candidate supply from verified identity, authority, availability and a decision-ready commercial position.

Preview guide
  • Record source, owner and freshness.
  • Verify authority before representation.
  • Keep candidate and binding states distinct.
Apply to a requirement →Supplier standards
GUIDE 06GOVERNANCE

AI with human control

See where Brains can structure and compare—and where representation, pricing and commitment must remain human-owned.

Preview guide
  • Use AI to structure and surface gaps.
  • Keep evidence provenance inspectable.
  • Reserve offers and commitments for humans.
Apply to a requirement →Trust and governance

DECISION SEQUENCE

Read the market in the right order.

Starting with a product or headline rate can narrow the decision before the actual operating requirement is understood.

01DEFINEOutcome + constraints
02STRUCTURETechnical + commercial fields
03QUALIFYRoutes + evidence
04COMPAREFit + true cost
05APPROVEAuthority + decision

THE FIRST QUESTIONS

Before asking “What is available?”

The quality of the market response depends on the clarity of the requirement. These questions expose the decisions that usually sit behind a simple capacity request.

01What outcome must be delivered?
02What is fixed—and what can change?
03Which location conditions are material?
04How predictable is the demand?
05Who must operate and support it?
06What evidence is needed to approve?

WORKING GLOSSARY

Words that should not be interchangeable.

Clear state language prevents a market signal, benchmark or candidate route from becoming an accidental promise.

CANDIDATE

A possible route identified for further review.

INDICATIVE

Directional information that is not an authorized offer.

VERIFIED

Identity or evidence checked against an accepted source.

QUALIFIED

A route assessed against defined requirement criteria.

AUTHORIZED

Permission to represent, share or progress is recorded.

BINDING

An approved offer, commitment or executed contract state.
