From Persuasion to Proof - Post-2016 Corporate Purchasing Behavior, Buyer Psychology, and the Standardization Case for the Truth Gap Readiness Index (TGRI™)

$49.95

Download the qX Alliance / BEYONDx Advisors research paper examining how enterprise buying has changed since 2016 — from seller-led persuasion to buyer-led proof.

This paper explains why modern purchasing decisions now involve procurement, legal, cybersecurity, finance, compliance, operations, enterprise risk, and board-level review before a solution can be approved. It identifies the Truth Gap as the distance between what a vendor, AI system, report, or enterprise narrative claims and what the underlying source evidence can actually support.

The paper introduces the Truth Gap Readiness Index — TGRI™ as a proposed source-grounded evidence-fit framework for evaluating whether high-stakes claims are supported by records before decisions move forward.

Inside the report:
