What a renewal brief should include

Renewal meetings stall when the brief is only a vendor usage export. Decision makers need a short narrative: who uses the AI service, how deeply, what value stories hold up, and what would change if the contract shrank or grew.

Include one chart of adoption depth by team, three concrete workflow examples, and a clear recommendation. Leave the raw event dump in an appendix.

That format works whether you renew, consolidate, or pause — and it keeps the conversation on outcomes rather than tool brand loyalty.
