AI Build Planner
v2.0, September 2026
Plan the AI thing you are building. This might talk you out of it.
A verdict looks like this.
What you're actually deciding
Whether you are fixing a task you have, or performing interest in AI.
The call
Don't stand something up. Time the task for a week. If the time isn't real, the build isn't either.
If not that
If you need something to show, show the week of timings and the step you would automate first. That is the proposal.
What put AI on your desk?
This is a pick, not a prompt. You can change it.
A name someone else would recognize. The person, the task, or the tool.
If you can't name the task or the person, you don't have a build to plan. Come back when one of those has a name.
Who has to live with this decision?
Who are you writing this for, right now?
Is this yours to decide?
