$21M US Navy Expeditionary Warfare Analytical Operational Test and Evaluation Support Services
You bought an AI tool. Nobody uses it. $200/month, quietly canceled three months later.

You bought an AI tool. Nobody uses it. $200/month, quietly canceled three months later.
You're not alone — and you're not the problem.
Here's what caught my attention this week. A small veteran-owned firm called OrangeSlices AI just won a $21M Navy contract. Not a tech giant. A small business. Their edge wasn't flashy software — it was making data actually usable for real operational decisions.
That's the lesson most AI vendors won't tell you.
The businesses winning with AI aren't buying the most sophisticated tools. They're solving one specific, painful, repeatable problem — and proving it works before scaling anything.
The Navy didn't hand $21M to the loudest pitch. They funded demonstrated results on a defined problem. You can apply the same filter.
Here's your one action this week: Write down the single most time-consuming repetitive task your team does that involves sorting, summarizing, or responding to information. That's your AI starting point — not a platform, not a strategy. One task. One win.
No code. No system overhaul. No consultant required.
What's one task in your business you wish you could hand off tomorrow — but assumed AI wasn't ready for yet?
