Before investing in AI, ask yourself these 5 critical questions. Get them wrong, and you'll join the 95% of pilots that fail.
1. "What specific manual process costs us the most time and money?" Start where the pain is greatest. Don't build AI for AI's sake—solve real operational problems.
2. "Do we have clean, accessible data for this process?" AI is only as good as your data. If information is scattered across systems or inconsistent, fix that first.
3. "Who will actually use this tool daily?" Build for the end user, not the C-suite. If your team won't adopt it, it's just expensive software.
4. "How does this integrate with our existing workflows?" Standalone AI tools create more work, not less. Success requires seamless integration.
5. "What does success look like in measurable terms?"Define ROI upfront: time saved, errors reduced, costs eliminated. Vague goals lead to failed projects.
At Stablein Solutions, we start every engagement with these questions. Understanding your business operations isn't optional—it's how we ensure AI actually transforms your workflows instead of complicating them.
The companies succeeding with AI aren't the ones with the fanciest technology. They're the ones who thoughtfully integrate AI where it creates real business value.
