When an AI who are consultants or want to be consultants, I want to put you onto the way that we do our assessments at the outset of an engagement, and it's not because I think that my way is the end all be all by any means. There's a lot of way to do, a lot of ways to do assessments, but I thoroughly enjoy this way of doing it, and I do think that it's more effective than, for example, sending someone a questionnaire. The way that we do it is, well, first of all, we get paid. Then we set up the meeting. So, remember how I was talking about get paid up front? We get paid before we schedule anything. And the first thing that we schedule is 30-minute appointments with a smattering of people in the organization. A couple of the verticals, a couple of the horizontals, so we have a nice, diverse representation of people in the company, and their use cases for AI. Then we take the recordings from those conversations, and we measure the results up against like 30 different criteria for potential benefit of adopting AI and potential risks of adopting AI. You wouldn't believe how often those things are pretty much the same. Like, there's, I'm going to say, seven, no more than ten things that are standard across all of my clients. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what industry. It doesn't work with like Fortune 100 or Fortune 500. So, maybe this is not, doesn't apply to that experience. But anyway, that gives us what we need to know. And then we go back and we make recommendations, and we recommend the pretty much the same thing to each client. And by then, the pain points are really clear, and we're able to, you know, project what the ROI would be, what they would spend on us in terms of time and money, because it's usually the time commitment. That's the sticking point, not the money. The time commitment is the scary thing for lots of organizations. So, anyway, that's how I've been doing assessments. I would love to hear how you do them or how you would like having an assessment done at your company. So, I hope that's helpful.

I love a friendly debate in the comments if you’re a stan for one of these. But please don’t talk about the em dash. Not a peep. We’ve had more than a lifetime full of people who feel the need to talk about this. We get one time around. Harumph. Also, women surpassed men in ChatGPT usage back in March 2025, so don’t try to tell me women are not adopting AI. THROW THOSE STUDIES OUT THE WINDOW. Women underreport bc we’re no dummies. We know our competence is already in question. The last thing we’re gonna do is tell our boss we’re using generative AI unless we’re sure we can do so without retribution. Also, we dont have the blind faith in technology that our counterparts tend to. We are conscientious and cautious. But we are not lagging in usage. #responsibleai #sheleadsai #womeninai #ai
