5 signs your business is ready for AI (and 2 signs it isn't)
AI isn't right for every problem yet. An honest checklist before you spend.

Ready, or not?
AI is ready for your business when you have a repetitive, language- or data-heavy task and the data to support it — and it isn't ready when you're hoping it'll fix an undefined problem.
5 signs you're ready
- —A repetitive task eats your team's hours.
- —You have the data — documents, tickets, history — to ground it.
- —The task is language- or pattern-heavy (support, docs, analysis).
- —A 90%-good answer is useful, with humans for the rest.
- —You can define success clearly.
2 signs you're not (yet)
- —The problem is vague. "Add AI" isn't a goal.
- —The data is missing or a mess. Fix that first.
We'll tell you when AI is the wrong tool — that trust is worth more than a sale. Describe your situation and get a straight read.
