You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month quietly burning while your team keeps doing things the old way.

You're not alone in that.

Most AI failures aren't about the tool. They're about buying capability before identifying the problem. Smart business owners get sold on what AI can do instead of what it should do for their specific situation.

Here's what this week's news made me think about. RAD Intel just acquired a multicultural marketing agency to expand their AI audience intelligence platform. Read past the headline and there's a real lesson: they didn't build AI then find a use case. They found a specific marketing problem — understanding diverse audiences better — and wrapped AI around it.

That sequence matters more than any tool selection.

The practical takeaway: before you evaluate any AI solution, write one sentence describing the business problem in dollar terms. "We lose 4 hours every week doing X, which costs us roughly Y." If you can't write that sentence, you're not ready to buy. If you can, you now have a filter that cuts through 90% of the hype.

One clear problem. One measurable cost. One targeted solution.

What's the AI purchase you regret most — and looking back, what was the actual problem you were trying to solve?
