Use cases
Where AI shows up in a business, what tends to go wrong, and what we look at.
Illustrative examples. Not real businesses.
Answering customers
A salon added an AI chat to its booking page. It started offering appointment times the stylists hadn't opened, and twice it promised a discount the owner never approved.
What we look at: what the AI can do on its own, who reads its replies, and what happens when it makes a promise.
Posts, ads and listings
A real estate agent uses AI to write listing descriptions. One listing said "newly renovated kitchen" for a kitchen that hadn't been touched in years.
What we look at: who checks the facts before anything is published, and how often they catch something.
Quotes and pricing
A landscaping company uses AI to draft quotes from the owner's notes. Some quotes left out tax, and a few used old prices.
What we look at: where the prices come from, who checks a quote before it goes out, and what a wrong quote costs.
Bookkeeping and paperwork
A small shop's owner pastes receipts and customer orders into a free AI tool to sort expenses. The orders include customer names and phone numbers.
What we look at: what information goes into AI tools, and where it ends up.
Meetings and notes
A consulting firm lets an AI note-taker join every client call. The notes are saved automatically to a folder shared with the whole team and a contractor.
What we look at: what the tool records, who can read it, and who still has access after they stop working with you.
Writing code
An outside developer builds a company's website with an AI coding tool. The tool had access to the payment account keys the whole time.
What we look at: what the coding tool can reach, who reviews its work before it goes live, and what it costs.
