The fix isn't a bigger AI budget. It's matching the tool to one specific job in your operation — and finding a pricing model where you pay as results come in, not as a hope that they will.
Start small: pick one repetitive task that costs you real time each week. Find an AI tool that charges per output. Run it for 30 days. Measure it.
