Common questions
How should a small business start with AI?
Pick two or three repetitive, high-volume tasks, set clear data rules, pilot with a small team, measure time saved, then expand.
What are the risks of using ChatGPT for business research?
Out-of-date information, invented facts and missing sources. Stratifier's Deep Research cites live sources and labels confidence.
Do we need an AI policy?
Yes. A short policy on approved tools, data that must never be entered and human review prevents most problems.
How long does an AI roll-out take?
Most small and mid-sized firms see early wins within a quarter, with a full roll-out over one to two years.
