Mindset7

Mindset The Boring AI Manifesto The most valuable AI work is boring - not the headline projects. View → Mindset Butler vs Advisor AI helps two ways - Butler executes a task, Advisor thinks with you. View → Mindset The Human Advantage Four things AI cannot commoditise - your moat as an expert. View → Mindset The Capacity Paradox The team most buried in the work has the least time to help fix it. View → Mindset AI is a Skill, Not Software Outcomes depend on the operator's fluency, not the tool. View → Mindset The Amplification Problem AI does not fix bad inputs - it scales them, with confidence. View → Mindset The Sycophancy Trap AI agrees by default - so ask it to attack the plan, not bless it. View →

Prompting5

Prompting The Core Four Four portable files - Who, What, How, Why - that give any AI your context. View → Prompting RGOSPACE An eight-part brief for deep-research prompts - GOAL with more rigour. View → Prompting The GOAL Framework A four-part structure for a prompt that gets a usable answer. View → Prompting The Literacy Gap Same tool, wildly different results - the gap is the operator. View → Common technique The "Ask Me Questions" Prompt Tell the AI to interview you first, instead of writing the perfect brief. View →

Risk & safety10

Risk & safety Risk Zones A traffic-light filter for where it is safe to start with AI. View → Risk & safety The Verification Tax If checking the output takes as long as doing the task, the ROI is zero. View → Risk & safety The Data Privacy Matrix Which data is safe to put into which AI tool. View → Risk & safety The Vendor Evaluation Card A DIY evidence pack on whether a tool is safe for your business data. View → Risk & safety AI Drafts, You Sign AI produces the draft; a named human checks and owns what goes out. View → Risk & safety Defensive Programming Wrap unpredictable AI in predictable checks before anything acts. View → Risk & safety Clean Datasets Output quality is capped by input quality - clean the data first. View → Industry term Shadow AI Staff already use free AI on company data. The risk is already here. View → Risk & safety The Permission Ladder How much autonomy you give an AI permission to have. View → Risk & safety Produce vs Act Does an unattended AI act, or only produce and hand to a person? View →

Choosing & ROI10

Choosing & ROI RATES A five-factor score that surfaces the highest-ROI tasks to automate first. View → Choosing & ROI The Three Implementation Tiers Three ways to add AI to a process - very different cost, speed and risk. View → Choosing & ROI The €50k Threshold Only build custom if the problem costs more than this to solve by hand. View → Choosing & ROI The Four Pillars of Opportunity The four places AI creates value - to look past 'just save time'. View → Choosing & ROI The Pilot Charter A one-page agreement that defines a pilot before any work begins. View → Choosing & ROI The 30-Day Playbook A four-week structure that takes a pilot from target to go/no-go. View → Choosing & ROI Scale, Pivot or Kill The three-way verdict that ends a pilot before it can drift. View → Standard practice The Golden Test Set 10-20 examples of perfect output you test the AI against before rollout. View → Standard practice Quick Wins vs Big Wins Earn the big build with fast, cheap, internal wins first. View → Choosing & ROI The Model Selection Matrix For boring text work the top models are roughly interchangeable. View →

Adoption & strategy10

Adoption & strategy The Four Ps The four areas every AI strategy has to cover. View → Adoption & strategy The Three-Audience Model Translate your AI message three ways - for the Board, IT, and the team. View → Adoption & strategy The Reduction Trap Time freed by AI is capacity, not ROI - leadership has to direct it. View → Adoption & strategy The Quit Question One question that surfaces real pilot candidates by asking about pain. View → Adoption & strategy The 90-Day Scale-Out What happens after a pilot works - turning it into repeatable practice. View → Adoption & strategy Tasks, Not Roles AI removes the dreaded tasks from a role, not the role itself. View → Adoption & strategy The Three Circles Three lenses for diagnosing AI adoption - they move together. View → Adoption & strategy The AI Maturity Model Where you sit on the AI adoption journey, in five levels. View → Adoption & strategy Pick Your Pilot Team A pilot team of five to eight - the doers, plus one real sceptic. View → Resource hub The Complete AI Toolkit Three free whitepapers, one journey - opportunity, risk, roadmap. View →
