Start from a score.
A benchmark result shows the weakest area, and the ninety-day note turns that result into a first project with a clear finish line.

Strategy
Notes on choosing between building and buying, and on which workflow earns the first AI system, starting with the ninety days after a benchmark score.
What these notes cover
Decide the order before the tools.
Strategy here means sequence: the workflow to fix first, the one to fix next, and the ideas to set aside for now.
Rank by revenue at stake.
Put candidate workflows in order of how much money moves through them, then check which have clean enough data to start.
Write down what waits.
A strategy that lists what the team will not do this quarter protects the one thing it will do.
Questions answered
Strategy questions.
What should we do after getting a benchmark score?
Pick the lowest-scoring area that also touches revenue, set a ninety-day goal for it, and review progress every two weeks. The ninety-day note turns the score into that plan.
Which AI project should come first?
Choose repeated work with measurable revenue attached, data you can reach, and a person who owns the result. Anything missing one of the three waits.
Should strategy come before choosing AI tools?
Yes. Tools are easy to buy and hard to unwind. Knowing the workflow, its owner and its number first makes the tool choice short.
