You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month quietly canceled after three months.
That's not failure. That's what happens when a solution gets sold before the problem gets defined.
Here's what most business owners miss about AI right now: the government just reauthorized a program that funds small business innovation research — specifically to solve real operational problems, not to chase trends.
That tells you something important. The people writing policy see AI as a problem-solving tool, not a magic button. That framing matters.
The businesses winning with AI aren't buying the most expensive platform. They're identifying one specific, repeatable task — a bottleneck they deal with every single week — and automating just that. One problem. One solution. Measurable result.
