You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month quietly canceled three months later.
You're not alone — and you're not tech-stupid. You're just being asked to shop blindfolded in a market designed to confuse you.
Here's what's interesting: even government agencies — with full procurement teams and legal budgets — just built a cooperative purchasing marketplace specifically to help buyers navigate AI solutions without getting burned. If trained professionals need a structured framework to evaluate AI vendors, that tells you something important.
The problem was never your ability to understand AI. The problem is the buying process has no guardrails. No standardization. No accountability. Vendors set the terms, and buyers absorb the risk.
That changes how you should approach your next AI decision. Before you evaluate any tool, define the one business problem you want solved — not a category, a specific problem. Then ask vendors to show you proof it solved that exact problem for a company your size. Vague demos don't count.
One specific problem. One measurable outcome. Thirty days to prove it works.
What's the one business process you most wish AI could actually fix — and what's stopped you from finding the right solution?
