Is This Book Actually For You?

If you’re a business owner, executive, or operations leader trying to make sense of AI without handing control to tools, vendors, or unchecked experimentation, this book was written for you. AI Under Control is for leaders who:

Are Tired of the AI Noise

You don’t want trends, buzzwords, or surface-level advice. You want clear, grounded guidance on what actually matters—and what can safely be ignored.

The shift isn’t coming.

Protect your data, clients, and reputation as AI use expands

An End-to-End AI Adoption Framework for Business Leaders

AI Under Control was never meant to be a standalone book.
It’s one piece of a broader, real-world framework we’ve built to help small and mid-sized businesses adopt AI with intention—not experimentation, guesswork, or risk.

Most SMBs are already using AI in fragments: a tool here, a prompt there, a workflow someone set up on their own. The problem isn’t access to AI. It’s the lack of structure around how AI fits into the business, who owns it, and what it’s actually supposed to improve.

This framework brings everything together into a clear, practical path—from readiness and governance to implementation and day-to-day use—so AI becomes a controlled operational asset, not another source of noise.

Here’s how the full path fits together.
