BMO Bank just revealed something most consultants won't tell you: their AI only works because they fixed what fed it first. Garbage in, garbage out — at any price point.
That $200/month tool collecting dust? It probably wasn't the wrong tool. It was dropped into the wrong environment with no clean information to work with.
Here's what that means for you. AI doesn't create insight. It amplifies whatever data you already have. If your customer records are inconsistent, your sales notes are scattered, or your reporting lives in three different spreadsheets — no AI fixes that automatically.
The good news is you don't need to rebuild anything.
Start with one process. Pick the single thing your team tracks most consistently right now. That's your AI starting point. Not your biggest problem — your cleanest data. Build your first win there, prove the ROI, then expand.
That's how you avoid the trap of buying a solution before you're ready to use it.
