Where would AI actually help you?
Two minutes of plain questions, then a straight answer — including “nothing yet, fix this first” if that's what your answers say.
Most of what you're being sold under the word “AI” wouldn't move the needle in your business. Some of it genuinely would. The difference isn't about the technology — it's about how your particular week is shaped, and nobody can tell you which side you're on without asking.
So that's what this does. Eight questions about how your business actually runs, and an answer on the spot: the specific places it would help, or the specific reason it wouldn't yet.
How this one is different
It can tell you not to bother
Plenty of businesses aren't ready, and the honest answer is to fix something duller first. This check will say so. That answer costs me work and it's the reason the other answers are worth reading.
No jargon, either direction
You won't be asked which models you use or what your automation stack looks like. You'll be asked what eats your week. That's the only input that actually predicts whether this is worth your money.
It's me reading it, not a sequence
Your answers come to me and I reply within a working day. Nothing drips, nothing chases you, and you don't get added to anything.
Want the background before you answer anything? Start with where AI actually pays for a small business — including a fairly blunt list of where it doesn't.
