Make one AI decision. Prove it on real work.

I help leaders choose one useful AI opportunity, train the people involved, and build a narrow pilot when software is the right answer.

Wil Waldon discussing an AI workflow with a small team

Is this worth doing with AI?

Let's prove it.

Ways to work together.

Start with the smallest engagement that can settle the next decision. Each one has a named finish line and a handoff you can keep.

AI Workflow Review

Choose the right first use case before time or budget goes into the wrong idea.

Length
1 week
Best for
Leaders with several ideas or one unclear workflow
Finish line
A written decision brief
  • 75-minute working session
  • Workflow, constraint, and risk map
  • Recommendation to stop, train, buy, change, or pilot
  • Practical next-step brief
Review the engagement

Team AI Workshop

Give one team a repeatable method for ChatGPT or Claude using work it already owns.

Length
2 weeks
Best for
Teams moving beyond informal AI use
Finish line
A working method and 30-day test
  • Preparation with real examples
  • 90-minute live working session
  • Reusable instructions and review checklist
  • 45-minute follow-up
Review the workshop

Applied AI Pilot

Turn one defined workflow into a narrow system that can be tested by real users.

Length
4 to 6 weeks
Best for
A known gap current software cannot close
Finish line
A working pilot and decision record
  • One workflow and a small user group
  • Working interface, integration, or internal tool
  • Evaluation and failure-case set
  • Stop, revise, or scale recommendation
Review the pilot

Fractional AI Advisor

Keep AI decisions moving without hiring a full-time lead or turning every question into a project.

Length
3-month initial term
Best for
Leaders managing several AI decisions
Finish line
A maintained decision cadence and backlog
  • Two working meetings each month
  • Tool, vendor, and use-case review
  • Decision log and prioritized backlog
  • Asynchronous review between meetings

From workflow to useful AI.

We study the work, choose one place worth improving, test it with real examples, and implement what proves useful.

  1. 01

    Review

    We map the task, the people involved, the information used, and the constraints.

  2. 02

    Decide

    We choose training, an existing product, a process change, or a custom tool.

  3. 03

    Test

    We try a small version on real work and check it with the people who use it.

  4. 04

    Implement

    I make the useful approach ready for daily work and keep the right human checks in place.

Software experience behind the advice.

I spent more than 15 years building websites, applications, and business systems before AI coding agents changed how software is made.

I use those agents to move faster, but I remain responsible for requirements, architecture, technical decisions, integrations, testing, quality, and delivery.

How I teach.

This short demo uses a working application to explain what an AI model can see, where the result is useful, and where a person still needs to judge it.

How AI can review a photograph.

I use Stable Manager Pro to show how an AI model analyzes riding position and gives clear feedback.

Running a smaller business?

Individual training and a written AI Action Plan are available when you need a useful starting point rather than a consulting engagement.

Choose the smallest useful next step.

Bring one workflow, the people involved, and the result that needs to change. I will recommend the right engagement or tell you when none is needed.
