AI Decision Readiness Check
Most businesses don’t get AI wrong because the technology fails.
They get it wrong because they choose the wrong direction, or spend months debating while nothing actually improves .
This engagement exists to stop that.
If you’re facing an AI-related decision and don’t fully trust where things are heading, this replaces drift, vendor pressure, and internal second-guessing with a single, accountable decision.
One you can stand behind.
This Is For You If…
- You’ve had multiple AI discussions with no resolution
- Vendors are pitching and you can’t confidently tell who’s right
- Someone on your team is pushing AI and you’re not sure it’s the right move
- You feel pressure to “do something with AI” but don’t trust the urgency
- You know being wrong would cost real time, money, or credibility
If none of those are true, don’t book this.
What This Prevents
This review is designed to prevent:
- Funding the wrong AI initiative
- Letting tools or vendors quietly define strategy
- Losing another quarter to circular discussion
- Fragmented experiments that waste attention and morale
- Discovering later that AI wasn’t the problem you needed to solve
Most clients come here after 3–6 months of drift .
This replaces that with a signed-off direction.
The Outcome
You receive a clear, written decision - not a list of options.
Specifically:
- A definitive judgment on whether AI should be pursued now
- Explicit areas where AI should not be applied
- The constraints that must be satisfied before AI becomes viable
- A reframed version of the decision (often sharper than how it began)
This decision is designed to be shared internally to end debate and align action .
How It Works
1. Structured Intake
You submit a brief covering:
- The decision you believe you’re facing
- Why it matters now
- What’s at stake if you get it wrong
This alone filters out non-serious cases.
2. Closed-Door Decision Session (90 minutes)
We pressure-test assumptions, surface hidden risks, and remove false urgency.
3. Executive Decision Memo
A concise written document that defines:
- The real decision
- The viable paths
- What to avoid
- The conditions under which AI should, or should not, be pursued
This memo is the product.
What This Is Not
To avoid confusion:
- This is not AI training
- This is not tool selection
- This is not implementation
- This is not a roadmap workshop
Those only make sense after a sound decision exists.
Investment
$3,500
One engagement. One decision. Two-week hard stop.
This is priced for owners who value judgment over experimentation .
If you are already confident in your AI direction, you don’t need this.
If you’re not — and the cost of being wrong would matter — this replaces uncertainty with a decision you can defend to your team, your board, and yourself.
Brian Gibbs & Associates
This store exists to support business owners and senior leaders who are already navigating real decisions about AI and systems.
The work here is shaped by direct advisory experience. It comes from seeing how decisions actually play out inside operating businesses, especially when pressure is high, information is incomplete, and momentum starts to take over.
My focus is on helping leaders think clearly about what matters now, what can wait, and where restraint is the better choice. Often, the most valuable move is not doing more, but deciding more carefully before commitments become difficult to reverse.
The offerings here are practical and finite. They are designed to help you step back, reduce decision risk, and move forward with greater confidence in your judgment. Not to create activity, but to prevent unnecessary cost, rework, or regret later on.
If you’re here, you’re likely already in motion. This work exists to support better decisions while there is still room to make them.
What You'll Get:
- A one-time decision on whether AI belongs in your business right now, where it does not, and what must change before it ever will.
