A high-resolution cinematic shot taken over the shoulder of a businesswoman sitting at a clean Scandinavian-style desk in a modern office with natural light. On her laptop screen, a clean and elegant dashboard shows “AI TCO Checklist” with a subtle radar-style score graphic in cool blue and grey tones.
