The book

Before You Build

A field guide to deciding what’s actually worth building with AI — and what isn’t.

This page is scaffolded. Details, an excerpt, and where to read are coming.

Before You Build is about the questions to ask before you spend a dollar on an AI project: is the workflow real and repeated, is the money actually in the room, is the tool ready, does the output plug into your work, can you verify it, and — the honest third option — should you just skip it. It’s the framework behind the essays here and the tools at topfiveaitech.com.

Until this page is filled in, the essays are the best way into the ideas.
