# Start with the task, not the name of the tool. All stories are fictional. They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental. A leader asks the team to propose an AI initiative. People collect tool names and competitors’ examples. Meetings continue, but nobody has agreed which work should change: document preparation, customer replies or information retrieval. Neither a first step nor a useful result can be defined. ## Where we could start Discuss the current work, difficulties and constraints with its participants. Choose one task, describe its inputs and expected output, and prepare a small experiment with conditions for deciding whether to continue. ## What you would have A selected task and a practical test plan grounded in company work rather than fashion. ## Participants The requester, responsible participants and the specialists the task requires. ## Roles and decisions Scope and authority are agreed for the task. Relevant specialists provide technical and professional assessments. ## Factual experience, separate from the fictional story MVP Lab / Pivot: Client requirements, approvals, demonstrations and release review. https://apiperson.com/experience/#work-pivot [Book a 30-minute call](https://calendar.app.google/4FrxQkHkAZ32PkzA9) mailto:apiperson.com@gmail.com
