AI Implementation Checklist for Small Businesses

The step-by-step checklist we use at AI Foundations when helping businesses integrate AI into their operations.

Before You Start

Most businesses rush into AI adoption without a clear plan. Here's the checklist we use with every client at AI Foundations.

Phase 1: Audit

  • Map your current workflows
  • Identify repetitive tasks
  • Calculate time spent on each process
  • Rank by impact and feasibility

Phase 2: Tool Selection

  • Match tools to specific problems
  • Evaluate cost vs. time savings
  • Test with a small team first
  • Document everything

Phase 3: Implementation

  • Start with one workflow
  • Train your team
  • Measure results after 30 days
  • Iterate and expand

Phase 4: Scale

  • Roll out to full team
  • Build SOPs and documentation
  • Set up monitoring and alerts
  • Plan quarterly reviews
