Your team is using AI.
Is the process working?

The Small-Business AI Runbook helps you choose a bounded use case, write the operating procedure and measure drafting, review and correction time. A practical workbook and guide for deciding what to repeat—and what to stop.

The output looks convincing.

Who checks its facts, sensitive information and suitability before it is used?

Everyone prompts differently.

What inputs, instructions and review criteria make the task repeatable?

Drafting is quicker.

Are review and corrections cancelling out the time you saved?

A method you can inspect

Turn one AI experiment into a reviewable pilot.

01

Choose a bounded task

Assess data and decision risk before using the numerical priority score.

02

Write the procedure

Set approved inputs, instructions, review criteria, ownership and escalation.

03

Measure the whole job

Record baseline, drafting, review and correction effort before deciding to expand.

What the method looks like

Keep the draft. Escalate the decision.

Drafting a support response and authorizing a refund are different tasks. The free example keeps responses in a human-review path and escalates payment decisions. It uses fixed placeholder replies, not a live AI model.

  • Make the requirement or process explicit.
  • Record what is known and what still needs checking.
  • Keep the decision and its assumptions together.

The scenario is illustrative, not a customer case study. The workbook structures your work; it does not supply independently verified results for your business.

A good fit if…

You are piloting a repeatable task such as drafting, summarizing or internal reporting, with approved inputs and a reviewer.

Not the right purchase if…

You want an autonomous agent, regulatory certification, or permission to automate high-stakes decisions.

Why a toolkit, when you have AI?

A generated answer
is the start of the work.

AI can generate a procedure. That does not tell you whether it works in your business. This runbook provides a consistent way to define review, log correction effort and decide whether a pilot deserves to continue. Your observations—not the generated draft—supply the evidence.

These materials are AI-assisted. We do not claim human certification, an independent professional audit or a proven customer track record. Inspect the sample and scope before buying.

Purchase details

Know what you’re buying.

Does this make our AI use compliant or safe?

No. It is an educational operating aid, not a compliance certification, security assessment or guarantee. Use appropriate professional review for sensitive or regulated work.

What happens after I pay?

Payhip handles checkout and gives access to the digital ZIP download after successful payment. It contains the .xlsx workbook, PDF guide, README and license. No physical product is shipped.

Do I need Excel?

The workbook is Excel-compatible. Imports into Google Sheets or other spreadsheet apps may change formulas, validation, protection and formatting. Check imported results before relying on them; identical behavior is not promised.

Can my team reuse the files?

Yes, within the purchasing business or team. Internal editing and duplication are allowed. Resale and redistribution are not.

What if the download has a problem?

Email hello@saassleuth.com within 14 days for a corrupted, inaccessible or materially misdescribed file. We will provide a working replacement or an appropriate refund. Change-of-mind refunds after successful digital delivery are not promised.

Is custom work included?

No. The digital product is self-serve. Written service enquiries and any implementation are separate, with an agreed scope, price and delivery date before paid work starts. No call is required.

A separate option: written help

Need the procedure mapped to one recurring task?

Ask about a written SOP and pilot blueprint: approved inputs, steps, instructions, human approvals, exceptions and a measurement checklist.

Send a non-sensitive brief: recurring task; intended output; current steps; tools; review owner.

Enquire by email →

No charge to enquire. A written scope, price and delivery date must be agreed before work begins. Do not send credentials, customer records or confidential exports. Shared portfolio support: hello@saassleuth.com.
