AI Blueprint: map your company before you build anything

1. 1.1Where we are: the 1920s streets
   • When the car came to Los Angeles in the 1920s, innovation came before structure, and the streets jammed.
   • AI in construction is at the same point: the tools arrived before the rules, the systems and the training.
   • The question for every contractor: speed up, or change?
2. 1.2Design the system around the tool: the nail gun or the prefabricated wall
   • A nail gun speeds up the old way of working. A prefabricated wall changes the way the work is done.
   • A company only gets the full advantage of AI when it designs the system it operates within around the tool.
3. 1.3The retype tax: where AI pays off today
   • The retype tax is the cost of people retyping the same information from one document, app or system into another.
   • AI is strongest today on document-heavy, repeatable work: admin, finance, estimating paperwork, reports and forms.
   • An honest view of its limits: reading drawings and blueprints is still unreliable.
   • The main target: remove the retype tax.
4. 1.4The parts of the AI Blueprint
   • Divisions, departments, people, software, routines, file structure and AI skills.
   • What an AI skill is, in one minute: instructions AI follows to do one routine the same way every time, using your apps and files.
5. 1.5Map your own company with the AI Blueprint
   • About six minutes. The result maps your company and places it at a level: Contain, Organize, Deploy or Compound.
   • Your level points to the chapter to start with.
6. 1.6Three free first steps
   • Teach AI about your company.
   • Map your company with the AI Blueprint.
   • Build your first AI skill. It comes last, after Discovery, Contain and Organize have prepared for it.

Your AI Blueprint, and AI that knows your company.
