Schools are getting AI right. Most businesses are still getting it backwards.

A parent helped her kid's school build an AI policy — not in one chaotic meeting, but across three focused sessions. Vision first. Safety second. Usage third. That's it.

You've probably tried the opposite. Buy the tool, figure out the rules later, wonder why nobody uses it. ($200/month subscriptions that quietly expire — you're not alone in that.)

Here's what that school got right: they didn't ask "what AI tool should we buy?" They asked "what problem are we actually solving?" Big difference.

That sequence matters more than the technology. Vision before vendor. Problem before platform. Most AI consultants skip straight to the sale. No wonder it doesn't stick.

One thing you can do this week: write one sentence describing the single most repetitive problem in your business. Just one. Not a technology decision — a business decision. That sentence becomes your AI filter. Every tool either solves that problem or it doesn't.

No ripping apart systems. No team overhaul. Just clarity before commitment.

What's one task in your business that eats time every week — that you secretly wonder if AI could handle?
