You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone.
That's not a you problem. That's a measurement problem.
Most AI investments fail before they start because nobody defines what "working" actually looks like. Not the vendor, not the consultant, not the enthusiastic team member who sold you on it.
IIM Ahmedabad just partnered with Persistent Systems to address exactly this. Their "AI Value Compass" framework forces a simple discipline most businesses skip: define the measurable outcome before you buy anything. Not "improve efficiency" — actual numbers, actual deadlines, actual accountability.
This is what separates the AI implementations that stick from the ones gathering digital dust.
You don't need a new tool. You need a clearer question first. Before your next AI decision, write down one sentence: "This succeeds if [specific metric] improves by [specific amount] within [specific timeframe]." That's it. If a vendor can't tell you how their tool hits that target, you have your answer.
One clear target beats ten impressive demos every time.
What's the one AI tool sitting unused in your business right now — and did anyone define what success looked like before you bought it?
