You bought the AI tool. Nobody uses it. $200/month quietly draining out the door.
That's not a you problem. That's a garbage-in problem nobody warned you about.
Here's what the hype cycle skips: AI is only as good as the information you feed it. There's a concept called data poisoning — when bad, outdated, or inconsistent business data quietly corrupts what your AI produces. The output looks fine at first. Then slowly, it gets worse. And by the time you notice, the damage is already done.
This is why so many AI tools "stop working" six months in. It wasn't the tool. It was what the tool was learning from.
The practical takeaway for you: before you touch any new AI tool, spend one hour auditing the data it will use. Customer records, product descriptions, internal documents — whatever feeds it. Clean, consistent, current data is the foundation. Without it, you're building on sand.
You don't need to rip anything apart. One hour. One audit. That single step puts you ahead of 80% of businesses rushing to implement AI right now.
What's the messiest data source in your business that you'd be nervous to feed into an AI tool?
