What enterprise security can learn from U.S. government approaches to AI

You already bought the AI tool. Nobody uses it. And now you're wondering if the next one will be any different.

You're not alone. Most business owners I talk to have a $200/month subscription collecting digital dust. It's not a failure of intelligence — it's a failure of process. AI vendors sell the dream, not the fit.

Here's something the U.S. government figured out the hard way: adding AI to an existing system without first understanding what could break is how you create expensive new problems. They now evaluate AI tools against what they already have before anything gets deployed.

You can do the same thing. Before your next AI purchase, map one workflow you actually want to improve. Then ask one question: does this tool fit inside that workflow, or does it replace it entirely?

Tools that replace workflows get abandoned. Tools that quietly improve existing ones get used.

That one filter alone could have saved you the last wasted subscription — and it takes about 20 minutes on a whiteboard.

What's one AI tool you bought that your team ended up ignoring — and what do you think killed the adoption?
