You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month just... gone.
That's not a you problem. That's a design problem.
Here's the thing most AI vendors won't admit: the majority of AI tools are built for the tool's logic, not your business. You're expected to reshape how your team works just to make the software happy. That's backwards.
The companies actually winning with AI right now didn't find a smarter tool. They found tools that fit into existing workflows without asking their teams to rewire everything from scratch.
One question separates useful AI from expensive shelf-ware: "Does this tool work the way my team already works, or does my team have to change for it?"
If the answer is the second one, walk away. Every time.
Start there. Before the demo. Before the contract. Before the consultant pitch. Ask that single question and you'll filter out 80% of the wrong options in five minutes — no coding required, no system overhaul, no six-month rollout.
One good fit beats ten impressive features.
