I spent 15 years leading eight-figure technology programs at IBM and Bluewolf — the kind where a company bets big on a platform and everyone in the room has a reason to say it's going to work. The SI wants the implementation. The vendor wants the license. The internal team wants the mandate to succeed. Nobody's job is to tell the truth about whether the foundation is actually ready.

That's the gap I built Business MRI to fill. We're the Carfax of AI readiness — an independent diagnostic practice that tells companies what's actually true about their platform before they place a bet they can't walk back. We don't profit from any particular answer. We profit from the truth.

I work with mid-market companies navigating AI mandates — the ones big enough that the stakes are real, small enough that a wrong bet is existential. The leaders I serve aren't confused about AI. They know exactly what their platform can and can't do. What they don't have is an objective voice in the room willing to document it.

I host Heartbeat, a podcast where practitioners — not vendors — say out loud what most people in the AI conversation can't.
