Start with the work. Not the AI.
The useful first question is not which model to buy. It is which process still depends on memory, retyping, and whoever happens to be at the desk.

The useful first question is not which model to buy. It is which process still depends on memory, retyping, and whoever happens to be at the desk.

A useful first call is not a tour of models. It is one process, the depth you think you need, and an honest list of what you do not know yet.

An agent that dazzles in a slide deck still has to survive your exceptions, approvals, and Tuesday afternoon volume.

Consulting, build, or build-and-run — the wrong depth wastes more money than the wrong model.

Swapping models is easy. Teaching the organisation to remember how it works is the hard part.
