That $200/month subscription nobody touches? That's not a you problem. That's what happens when AI gets dropped into a business without being connected to how the work actually flows.
Here's what the research quietly confirms: AI only creates value when it touches real decisions your team already makes every day. Not a dashboard nobody checks. Not a feature that runs in the background. The actual moment someone on your team is choosing, approving, or acting.
That's the test. Does this AI sit next to the decision, or does it sit beside it?
Most implementations fail because they automate the easy stuff and ignore the expensive stuff — the choices that cost you time, money, or customers when they go wrong.
Start here: Pick one decision your team makes repeatedly this week. Just one. Ask whether better information, faster summarization, or a draft to react to would help. That's your first AI use case. No new systems. No training budget. No consultant required.
