If Citi needed four separate AI projects to move the needle, what chance does a 50-person business have?

More than you think. And that's the point most gurus miss.

You've probably already bought something that didn't stick. A tool your team quietly stopped using. A subscription that felt like a small tax on your optimism. That's not a failure of judgment — it's a failure of implementation. There's a difference.

Here's what Citi got right that nobody talks about: they didn't automate everything at once. Each AI project solved one specific, measurable operational problem. Document processing. Client reporting. Internal search. One problem, one tool, one result they could actually measure.

That's your blueprint. Not their budget.

Pick the single most repetitive task your team complains about most. The one that eats an hour a day and requires no real judgment. Start there. One task, one tool, 30 days to prove it works. That's how you build confidence in AI without betting the house on it.

You don't need a transformation. You need a first win.

What's the one task in your business that you wish would just disappear?
