The Government of Canada just committed real money to help small businesses adopt AI.

Not hype. Actual funding through FedDev Ontario.

Here's what that tells you: the pressure to figure out AI is now coming from every direction — competitors, customers, and now federal economic policy. You're not imagining it.

But here's what nobody says out loud. Most businesses that "bought AI" bought a subscription, not a solution. The tool sat unused because nobody defined the problem first. That $200/month wasn't wasted on bad technology — it was wasted on a missing conversation that should have happened before the purchase.

The businesses getting real ROI from AI right now aren't the most tech-savvy ones. They're the ones who picked one specific, repetitive problem and solved only that. One workflow. One bottleneck. Thirty days to prove it works.

You don't need a transformation. You need a test.

This week, write down the single most repetitive task your team does that produces zero new value. That's your starting point. Not a platform. Not a strategy. Just that one thing.

What's the AI tool your business bought that nobody ended up using — and what do you think went wrong?
