Surgeons don't pick up a new tool and just start cutting. They follow evidence-based protocols. Yet most businesses buy AI tools based on a vendor demo and a hopeful feeling.

Sound familiar? You're not alone. "We bought that AI tool but nobody uses it" is the most common sentence I hear from smart business owners. It's not your fault — nobody handed you a framework for evaluating this stuff.

Here's what healthcare organizations just figured out that applies directly to your business: the most successful AI implementations start with clear guidelines BEFORE the purchase, not after. AORN just released an evidence-based protocol for integrating AI safely in surgical settings. The core principle translates perfectly — define the problem first, then find the tool that fits it.

Most businesses do this backwards. They buy the AI tool, then try to invent a use case for it. That's why the software sits unused.

One thing you can do this week: write one sentence describing a specific, repetitive task that costs your team more than two hours daily. That sentence is your AI shopping list. Everything else is noise.

What's the AI tool currently collecting dust in your business — and what problem were you originally hoping it would solve?
