Put agentic AI to work where it grows revenue and cuts costs.

C$32MI built my first company on a technology shift, the early internet, and sold it for C$32M. The same kind of shift is happening with AI today.

I find where AI agents (AI that does the work, not just answers questions) will make and save your business money, build them into how you work, and stay on as your fractional CTO to keep them paying off.

Bridging the gap

Using AI isn't the same as profiting from it.

Most businesses have tried the tools. Far fewer have crossed over to results.

The gap

Most businesses use AI. Few see it in their numbers.

Your team has probably tried ChatGPT or Copilot. A chat window isn't the same as AI agents changing your revenue or your costs.

The difference is AI implementation done properly: picking the right work, building it, and measuring what it's worth.

88%of organisations use AI somewhere in the business
39%see any impact on profit from it

The AI adoption ladder

Where is your business on the climb?

Five levels, from curious to AI-run. Most businesses sit on the bottom two. The payoff starts at level 3.

Above the line, AI is switched on and paying off. Companies at levels 3 to 5 do better financially than the average business in their industry. Companies at levels 1 and 2 do worse.
