The SBA didn't fail on AI capability. They failed on clarity. Same thing happens in most small businesses.
Before your next AI decision, write one sentence: "We will use this tool to do X, and we'll know it's working when Y happens." That's it. One sentence. If you can't write it, don't buy the tool.
