Clay Campbell, Founder — Seawolf AI
Before you start building, check the mirror.
1. Data
- Do you have access to clean, relevant data?
- Is it structured enough to work with?
- Do you know where it lives — and who owns it?
2. Decision-Making
- Are the right leaders involved?
- Is there a clear business owner for this initiative?
- Will someone actually use the output?
3. Feedback Loop
- Can you learn quickly from what you ship?
- Is there a way to test in production or a live sandbox?
- Do you have users ready to give feedback fast?
4. Budget Beyond the Prototype
- Do you have resources to maintain, adapt, and scale?
- Or is this a one-off proof-of-concept with no runway?
Why It Matters
Readiness isn’t about tech. It’s about truth. Are you actually ready to turn AI into impact?
