Mid-caps & large B2B companies · Payments and financial services first

Put AI to work on the processes that produce revenue.

Tenders. Account growth. Pipeline and forecasts.

We help mid-caps and large B2B companies identify, transform and put into production their high-value commercial processes, with measured results, human validation and built-in governance.

A business issue, pilots already running, or simply the need to know where AI can create value? Let us sort it out in 20 minutes.

One process at a time. Senior-led. Measured result.

An AI pilot is stalled

It works as a demo, but nobody owns taking it into production.

GenAI is already in use

Teams use it every day, but the value is neither industrialised nor measured.

A high-value process is identified

You know where the time goes, but no AI initiative exists yet.

In all three cases the first step is the same: the process, not the tool.

The problem, then what the AI does

Three commercial processes, to qualify in your company

These are uses to qualify, not results obtained. They show the work the AI would do, the human validation it requires, and what would be measured to know whether it is worth it.

Situations we meet with executives

  • RFPs consume too much senior expert time.
  • Strategic accounts produce too few new opportunities.
  • Pipeline and forecast quality remain unreliable.
  • GenAI is already in use, but measurable business impact remains weak.
  • AI pilots exist but have not become operational capabilities.
Business problem

Tenders tie up experts for too long.

What the AI could do

Find the relevant material in your previous answers and documentation, prepare a sourced response and flag what is missing before validation.

What would be measured

Time to a validated response, corrections needed, final quality.

Business problem

Existing accounts generate too few new opportunities.

What the AI could do

Cross commercial information with customer signals to propose documented leads to the account owner, who decides whether to pursue them.

What would be measured

Opportunities actually qualified and accepted by sales.

Business problem

Sales forecasts are hard to make reliable.

What the AI could do

Spot inconsistencies between CRM data, commitments made and next steps, then prepare the points to examine in pipeline review.

What would be measured

Forecast reliability and resolution of anomalies.

Which part of the result comes from the AI, and which part simply from a better process? The engagement has to show both. Otherwise there is no reason to buy an AI intervention rather than classic sales consulting.

One concrete workflow

Tender response: today, with AI, and what gets measured

A constructed example based on a typical case, not a client result. It illustrates the shape of the work expected from the AI, the human checks it requires and its limits. It relies on Autobidding, an internal accelerator used in engagements, which is not the main offer.

Today

  1. A 180-page specification lands
  2. Experts dig through old bids for the answers
  3. Manual consolidation of the document
  4. Round after round of review, up to the day before submission

With the AI workflow

AI workHuman decision
  1. Specification ingested
  2. Requirements extracted, one by one
  3. Previous answers and evidence retrieved
  4. First draft, every statement sourced
  5. Uncertain areas and unsourced requirements flagged
  6. Expert validation, section by section
  7. Decision to bid, final response

What gets measured

  • Response time
  • Expert time consumed
  • Reuse rate
  • Corrections after review
  • Win-rate impact, where measurable

Worked example

The same workflow, step by step

  1. 1

    Input

    A specification running to several dozen pages for a payment service. The company's previous responses, product sheets and compliance documentation are made available in a controlled space.

  2. 2

    What the AI produces

    A first structured response, requirement by requirement. Every statement is linked to its internal source: a previous response, a product sheet, a compliance document. Requirements with no source are flagged as missing, not filled with plausible wording.

  3. 3

    What the human checks

    The expert reviews the flagged points, arbitrates contractual and security commitments, and validates each section. Nothing leaves without that validation. Sales leadership decides whether to bid at all.

  4. 4

    What is measured

    Time from receipt to a validated response, the number of corrections made by the expert, and final quality as the team rates it. Without those three measures, nobody knows whether the tool helps.

  5. 5

    Limits observed

    The AI only knows what it was given: outdated documentation produces an outdated answer, sourced with the same confidence. New or ambiguous requirements remain expert work. The gain is in retrieval and assembly, not in judgement.

Two kinds of proof, not to be confused

Proof of capability

"This is what our setup can do in this context." That is what this example shows.

Proof of client result

"This is the gain measured in real conditions at a client." TokenShift publishes none until one is verified, with the client's agreement.

Three offers

Decide, put into service, keep the value

Prices are public. For each offer, what matters is what changes for you at the end, and what it asks of your organisation.

Who delivers? TokenShift frames, designs, organises and checks. Your teams or your technical suppliers build and integrate. Software development, licences and infrastructure are not included in the fees.

See the split of work

Who you work with

A senior operator, not a team of juniors

The person you talk to in the first conversation is the person who leads the engagement.

TokenShift is led directly by Pascal Mauzé, a senior European enterprise operator with 25+ years in regulated B2B environments, payments and financial services first, across large-deal execution, commercial transformation, business process redesign, CRM adoption, and governed technology deployment.

Architecture, security, governance, adoption, CRM and sector expertise are added by a tight network of named associates, only when the process requires it. Former employers are not TokenShift client references, and are not presented as such.

Background and operating model

Delivery patterns

How each engagement runs, and what it produces

These examples describe the shape of each engagement and the artefacts it leaves behind. They are delivery patterns, not client results: no measured outcome and no named reference is claimed.

Decision Clarity

Pilot portfolio rationalization

When several AI pilots compete for budget, the first useful output is a defensible process choice, sponsor chain, and guardrail view.

Working tools, not product theatre

Internal accelerators make the work concrete

TokenShift uses a few internal accelerators to make the work concrete. They are not the main offer. They serve as proof of capability in engagements, for diagnosis, prototyping and the design of the target process.

RegRadar

A governed regulatory-change process showing how AI outputs can be structured, reviewed, assigned, and controlled.

Autobidding

A tender response accelerator showing how a complex bid can move faster with human review, guardrails, and reusable company context. It is the setup behind the worked example above.

Feedback360

Used selectively when sales coaching, manager behavior, or adoption confidence is what blocks the launch.

FAQ

The questions executives ask before committing

With the business problem. A first 20-minute conversation is there to understand your issue, check whether AI is worth exploring, and settle the next useful step, with no engagement commitment. If it is worth it, Decision Clarity is the entry offer: in 4-6 weeks it picks one use, estimates its value and its full cost, and produces a board-ready decision.
TokenShift frames the expected result, designs the target process, organises and facilitates delivery, then checks that the process can be used, controlled and measured. Your teams or your technical suppliers build, configure and integrate. Software development, licences, model consumption and infrastructure are not included in the fees. This split is written into every engagement.
The failure is rarely technical. It is structural: no named owner for the live process, no explicit guardrails, and no governance cadence that connects delivery choices to executive accountability.
The next step is usually a Production Sprint: one process, one sponsor, one controlled environment, and a process ready to launch in 8-12 weeks. After launch, a Governance Retainer follows real usage, value, risk and change every month. The two steps do not always chain: a team that already knows which process to target can enter a Production Sprint directly.
