Before you buy another AI tool, ask these 7 questions.
Most companies don’t struggle to find AI tools. They struggle to make them work.
The market is full of impressive demos and bold promises. But a tool that looks great in a pitch can quietly collect dust if it doesn’t fit your business.
So before you sign the next contract, pressure-test it with these 7 questions:
1️⃣ What problem does it solve?
If you can’t name the problem, you’re buying a feature, not a solution.
2️⃣ Who will ultimately use it?
Adoption depends on the people who touch it every day, not just the people who approve the budget.
3️⃣ Whose workflow does it change?
The right workflow turns AI from a tool into a force multiplier.
4️⃣ How will success be measured?
If success isn’t measurable, it isn’t manageable. Define the metrics up front.
5️⃣ How will the output be governed?
Data compliance, security, and accountability need an answer before launch, not after.
6️⃣ What happens after the pilot?
Plenty of pilots impress. Few scale. Ask what the path to deployment and operational expansion looks like.
7️⃣ Who owns adoption?
Tools are easy to buy. Adoption is the real work.
