Author's note

How to use this book

Bring one real problem with you. Not an AI ambition. Not a list of tools. Choose work that is already costing the company time, money, customers, speed, or avoidable risk.

Each part narrows the decision. By the end, you should have a named friction, a view of the business capability around it, a scored opportunity, a one-page experiment, and a date on which someone will decide what happens next. The appendices contain the working pages. Use them in the room; they are not homework to admire later.
