Before you sign
Questions to ask Claude before you commit
A good Claude demo should confirm fit, not create it. Settle these questions before presentation quality or roadmap promises carry too much weight in your decision.
How well does Claude fit the current operating model, deployment preferences, and platform mix?
Check whether Claude's deployment model, platform support (Web), and pricing structure (custom quote) match your team's current environment before investing time in a full evaluation.
Will the vendor's pricing structure scale cleanly with the number of employees, recruiters, admins, or payroll entities?
Ask for a written quote that covers your expected headcount for the next 12–18 months. Validate what happens to per-employee costs at scale, what is included vs add-on, and whether renewal pricing is locked or subject to annual increases.
Which integrations are required on day one, and which can wait until later phases?
Map Claude's integration support against the tools your team already uses — payroll, ATS, Slack, accounting software. Confirm which integrations are native and which require third-party middleware before treating the integration list as a feature.
What operational tradeoffs show up in the cons list, and are they acceptable for the target team size?
Review the tradeoffs in the limitations section above. Every product has them. The question is whether Claude's specific limitations are acceptable for your team size, industry, and the workflows you need to improve first.
Frequently asked questions about Claude

Validate Claude against implementation fit, pricing mechanics, rollout effort, reporting depth, and the workflows your team needs to improve first.
