Start here
If your organisation isn't at the scale where we'd work together, this page is for you. It's the shortest path I know from "we should do something with AI" to something that actually runs.
Pick one process that runs every week
Not the strategy. One thing that costs someone an afternoon every week: chasing approvals, reconciling a report, answering the same questions. That's your first project. It's small enough to finish and big enough to matter.
Write down how the decision is made today
In plain words, as if explaining it to a new hire. If you can't, the AI can't either, and the writing is the real work. If you can, you're most of the way there.
Use the tools you already pay for
The first wins almost never need a new platform. A capable model, a spreadsheet and a clear instruction cover more ground than most people expect. Buy tools after you know what you need them for.
Measure one number before and after
Hours saved, days shortened, errors caught. One honest number, measured the same way twice, beats ten impressions. It's also what earns you permission to do the next one.
Keep the human where judgment matters
And remove them where it doesn't. Drawing that line well, case by case, is most of the job. Nothing on this site argues for taking people out of the loop; it argues for putting them where they're needed.
When you've done one, read the notes: they're written for exactly this stage. If you get stuck, message me. I read every message; replies can take a few days.
