Guides
Everything here works one claim: you don't need an AI department — you need one person who gets it. These guides cover the internal AI champion model end to end: who to pick, what they learn, what it costs, what goes wrong, and how fast it pays back.

How to Pick Which Employee Becomes Your AI Guy
The four traits that predict a great champion, why it's usually the ops lead, EA, or "tech person" — and the three tempting picks to avoid.

Three ledgers — wasted subscriptions and retainers, manual hours never reclaimed, and a team that learned "AI doesn't work here" — with math you can re-run.
7 Mistakes Companies Make With Their AI Champion
Picking on seniority, title without mandate, no priorities, activity metrics, the YouTube curriculum, isolation, tools-first thinking — ranked, with fixes.
How Long Does It Take to Train an AI Guy?
The 30-day arc from "played with ChatGPT" to shipping automations, why self-teaching takes months, and when the investment comes back.
Should You Hire an AI Guy or Train One?
