The government just quietly published AI adoption guidelines for small businesses. Nobody in your LinkedIn feed is talking about it.
If you've ever paid for an AI tool your team ignored, you're not alone — and you're not foolish. Most implementations fail before they start because nobody defines what the tool is actually supposed to do. That's not a you problem. That's an industry problem.
Here's the insight buried in CISA's new agentic AI guidance: the businesses getting burned aren't picking bad tools. They're skipping the step where you define who controls the AI, what decisions it can make on its own, and where a human stays in the loop. Without that clarity, even good tools go unused.
Agentic AI — tools that take actions automatically on your behalf — need boundaries before they need budgets. One page. Three questions answered before you spend a dollar.
Start here this week: pick one repetitive task your team complains about. Write down exactly what a good outcome looks like. That single document becomes your AI brief — and it's the filter that saves you from the next $200/month mistake.
What's the one business task you keep hoping AI will finally solve for you?
