FREE RESOURCE
A 7-question decision framework that tells you whether to adopt a new AI tool or go deeper with what you already have.
Free. No spam. Just the checklist and occasional tools I build.
What’s Inside
What specific problem are you solving that your current tool can’t handle? If you can’t name it in one sentence, you’re browsing, not solving.
Have you explored your current tool’s full capabilities? Most tools can do 3-5x more than users realize.
What accumulated workflows, prompts, and integrations will you lose by switching? Months of refined context doesn’t transfer.
Four more checks covering your evaluation-to-production ratio, measurable outcomes, stack compatibility, and whether you’re adding or replacing.
The Problem
Thousands of tools. Each promising to change how you work. Most won’t. The ones that do are the ones you actually commit to. I signed up for 40+ AI tools in the past year. I use three daily. The other 37 were productive procrastination disguised as research.
