You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month gone, and now you're more skeptical than ever.

That's not failure. That's the most common AI story in business right now.

Here's what Jabil's CIO figured out that most consultants won't tell you: the companies scaling AI successfully didn't start with the biggest problem. They started with one boring, repeatable process that already had clean data sitting around it.

Think about that. Not a moonshot. A small, contained workflow where success is measurable in weeks, not quarters. Jabil is a global manufacturer with thousands of moving parts — and even they prove value one pilot at a time before expanding.

That changes everything about how you should be evaluating AI tools. Stop asking "can this transform my business?" Start asking "can this improve one specific task my team does every single day?"

This week, identify one process your team repeats more than 10 times a day. Write it down. That's your pilot candidate — no new systems, no retraining, no overhaul required.

What's the one AI tool your team was supposed to use but quietly abandoned? Drop it below — you might be surprised how many others are in the same boat.
