Everyone wants AI to predict the future for their business. But you can't predict ROI on a tool your team never opens.
That $200/month "AI solution" gathering dust isn't a technology failure. It's a selection failure. And it's not your fault — the way AI gets sold almost guarantees it.
Here's what caught my attention this week. A South African startup called Prophet just launched an AI-powered prediction market — where real money moves based on AI-generated forecasts. What's interesting isn't the platform itself. It's the model behind it.
They didn't ask users to trust AI blindly. They made the outcomes measurable from day one. A live $10,000 trading tranche means results are visible fast. That accountability is exactly what most AI tool vendors avoid.
That's the lesson for your business. Before you buy any AI solution, ask one question: "What specific number will improve in 30 days, and how do we measure it?" If the vendor stumbles on that answer, walk away. Good AI creates proof quickly. That's how you get your first real win without betting the farm.
What's the AI tool you bought that your team quietly stopped using — and what do you think actually went wrong?
