Terms of use

What this site is, and is not.

Plain terms for using tdcatalyst.com — the content, the interactive tools, and the line between what is published here and what an actual engagement involves.

Effective July 10, 2026.

Content is informational

Everything published on this site — essays, method descriptions, engagement outlines, pricing indications — is general information about the practice and its point of view. It is not management, legal, financial, or other professional advice for your specific situation, and reading it does not create an advisory relationship between you and TDcatalyst.

The interactive tools are illustrative

The AI Transformation Stall Diagnostic and the AI Transformation Simulation are educational instruments. They compress published research and field experience into simplified models, and their outputs — archetypes, scores, curves, timelines — are illustrations of how such dynamics tend to behave, not forecasts, benchmarks, or recommendations for your organization. Do not make organizational, investment, or personnel decisions on the basis of a tool output alone. What an engagement produces is different in kind: it is built on your actual context, and it is governed by the terms below.

Engagements are governed by separate agreements

Advisory work — sessions, immersives, consulting engagements, retainers, and board work — is governed exclusively by a written agreement signed by both parties. Descriptions and price ranges on this site are indicative and do not constitute an offer; scope, fees, confidentiality, and deliverables are fixed in the engagement agreement.

Intellectual property

The content of this site — text, photography, design, and the concepts, structure, question sets, scoring logic, and models behind the diagnostic and the simulation — is © TDcatalyst, all rights reserved, except where credited to others. The research the tools cite belongs to its respective authors and is credited in each tool's sources section. You are welcome to read, link to, quote briefly with attribution, and share URLs. You may not republish substantial portions of the content, or copy, adapt, or commercially reuse the tools or their underlying logic, without written permission.

Third-party services

The site links to and relies on services operated by others (scheduling, form delivery, fonts, hosting). Those services are governed by their own terms, and TDcatalyst is not responsible for their content or conduct.

No warranty; limitation of liability

The site and its tools are provided as-is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, TDcatalyst is not liable for any damages arising from use of, or reliance on, the site or its tools.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
