1. Scorecard
A simple scoring framework to pressure-test an AI tool or proposal before you commit time or money.
AI Reality Check
Before you buy another AI tool, run it through this first.
AI Reality Check helps owners and operators evaluate AI tools, automation offers, and vendor pitches quickly - so you can spend more intelligently and act with more confidence.
See what AI actually does for your business. In one sitting.
The problem
Most AI buying decisions are still harder than they should be.
Right now, owners and operators are getting pitched AI tools, automation platforms, workflow add-ons, consultants, and "easy wins" that all ask for attention right now.
The problem is not a lack of options. The problem is that most people do not have a simple way to tell what deserves attention.
That is what this kit is for.
What's inside
A practical decision kit, not a trend recap.
AI Reality Check is designed to be useful fast. Open it, run a tool or proposal through it, and come away with a cleaner next move.
2. Red-flag checklist
Fast warning signs that something is overhyped, premature, overengineered, or unlikely to survive contact with reality.
3. Decision worksheet
A worksheet that helps you decide whether to act now, test lightly, wait, or ignore the thing entirely.
4. Short operator notes
Plain-language guidance for owners and operators who need judgment, not jargon.
Why it's different
