Most AI tools fail before anyone logs in for the first time.

Not because the technology is broken. Because they were bought to solve the wrong problem.

A former Dell executive just left a comfortable career to build a startup around one observation: enterprises keep buying AI solutions that don't match their actual bottlenecks. Healthcare made it obvious first. But it's happening in every industry, at every size.

You're not behind because you haven't bought enough AI tools. You're behind because nobody helped you identify the right problem before opening the checkbook. That $200/month tool sitting unused isn't a tech failure. It's a diagnosis failure.

Here's what actually works: before evaluating any AI tool, write down your single most repetitive, time-consuming task — the one your team complains about weekly. That's your starting point. Not a platform. Not a strategy. One problem with a clear before-and-after measurement.

The businesses winning with AI right now aren't the ones who spent the most. They're the ones who got specific first.

What's the one task in your business you'd eliminate tomorrow if you could — and have you tried using AI to solve it yet?
