// AI_ADVOCATE

Your AI Advocate.
In your corner. Not the vendor's.

Audit first. Activate next. Compound from there.

Most companies bought AI tools but never closed the gap between buying them and actually using them. I'm the partner who maps your stack, activates your team, and stays in your corner as your AI strategy evolves.

// THE_PROBLEM

The gap between bought and used is where AI strategy goes to die.

A year ago you signed up for ChatGPT Teams, Copilot, or Claude. Maybe all three. The press release went out. The all-hands was energizing.

Now the seats sit half-used. Two power users built clever workflows nobody else can replicate. Finance keeps asking why renewals keep going up. Competitors keep announcing breakthroughs you can't tell are real.

Vendors won't fix this — their job is to keep you on their tool. Consultants won't fix this — their job ends when the deck is delivered. IT won't fix this — they're already underwater.

You don't need another tool. You need someone in your corner whose only job is making sure the tools you have actually work.

Not buying AI yet? Start with the Board Game Test.

If you haven't bought AI subscriptions yet — or you're about to commit $200k to a new initiative — the Board Game Test is a 90-minute workshop that tells you whether your team is actually ready to build.

Can your team turn this process into a board game? Not a metaphor. Sketch the rules. Where does it start? How do you win?

If they can draw the board, they're ready to build. If it's all hand-waving and "the senior person just knows," they're not. And no amount of AI is going to save them.

// ABOUT

25 years of learning what actually ships.

I've been shipping software since 1998. I've watched cloud, mobile, big data, and now AI go through the same hype curve. The technology changes every few years. The failure patterns don't.

I built the AI Advocate role because too often 80% of the value a team needs is already sitting unused in tools they've already paid for — and because audits without follow-through end up filed in Notion, never read.

I sell no software. I take no referral fees. I'm only paid by you.

// THE_REAL_COST

The bill that arrives six months late.

[01]

The seats that keep autorenewing while adoption stays flat

[02]

Your power users who eventually leave for somewhere that gives them more leverage

[03]

The competitor announcement you'll read 18 months from now

[04]

The board update that sounds suspiciously like last quarter's

The budget is the obvious loss. It's not the biggest one.
