Got Claude and ChatGPT chaos in your company?
Ten people, ten accounts, ten ways of doing it. Nobody gets the same result twice, and nobody can say what is actually working.
Get one simple standard that puts your whole team on the same way of using AI. Set it up this week. It is a lot easier than you think.
Everyone is using AI their own way
One person lives in ChatGPT. Someone else pays for Claude on their own card. Another tried it twice, got a bad answer, and quit.
Each of them is trying. None of it is shared, so nothing the team learns adds up, and you cannot tell whether any of it is paying off.
Everyone in your company keeping their own set of books. You would stop that on day one. Yet it is how most teams use AI today: their own accounts, their own prompts, their own results, and no one version of what works.
The fix is small. A few of your people find the way that works on your real problems, and everyone else follows it.
Start with a Lab.
Pick three to five people who are close to the work. Give them one short list of approved tools and the same rules. Let them prove what works on two or three real problems. Then the rest of the company uses what they proved, the same way every time.
What it looks like three months in
Dr. Sam Bowden runs Accelerate Practice Academy, a team of about eight that coaches veterinary practice owners around the world. He came in sure that AI would be a long, technical climb. Here is how he describes it now.
"The story I was telling myself that turned out not to be true was this is going to be really hard to learn." Then: "Within an hour and a half, I was using it."

"It's taken complex into simple. It's taken hard into easy. It's taken slow into fast."

"They're not siloed, they're all working with the same environment." And: "It knows my business backwards."

Sam's team runs on Founder OS. The standard on this page is its first step: the rules for getting a small group working one way, on real problems, this week.
Here is the standard. It fits on one page, and you can put the first version of it in front of your team this week.

AI starts in the Lab
Do not begin by rolling AI out across the entire company. Start with a small AI Lab. The Lab is the controlled environment where your business:
- learns how to use AI
- experiments with real business problems
- identifies what actually creates value
- kills the ideas that do not
- proves workflows before they spread
- builds the internal capability to deploy AI safely and practically
The goal is not to make everyone an AI expert. The goal is to create a small group of people who can figure out what works and bring those wins into the business.
Your Lab team
Choose a small number of people who are:
Avoid filling the Lab exclusively with executives. You want people who understand how the work actually gets done.
The other seven rules
Plus the worksheet, the launch checklist, and the rollout steps.
Locked. Takes you to the form that sends you the full standard.
Send it to me
All eight rules, the fill-in worksheet, and the 10-minute launch checklist. It opens in your browser the moment you submit, and a copy lands in your inbox so you can forward it to whoever is going to run the Lab.
Ten minutes today gets you a named Lab, one short list of approved tools, and your first three experiments. Your team starts working the same way this week, before anyone buys another tool.
What you are getting
The eight rules
From picking the Lab team to keeping the Lab running after the first win. Each rule is one decision you can make today.
The worksheet
Name your Lab members, list your approved tools, and write your first three experiments. It saves as you type and prints clean.
The save-money and make-money pair
Two prompts that force the first wins to be real. One cuts cost. One touches revenue. Both have a number attached.
The rollout
How a proven way of working reaches the rest of the team: someone who has used it goes with it, and it keeps getting better as more people use it.
Who this is for
You built the business and you still run it. You decide, and you decide fast. You do not want a vendor to do it for you, and you do not want a twelve-week readiness assessment. You want to be shown how to set it up, handed the tools, and then left alone to go.
If you are looking for a company-wide rollout plan with a change management workstream, this is the wrong page. This standard assumes you can pick five people and start on Monday.
Do not measure your AI strategy by how much AI your company uses.
Measure it by the business results it creates. If the Lab is not saving money, making money, removing bottlenecks, reducing owner dependency or increasing capacity, then it is just a technology hobby.
Free. One page. You can run the first session on Monday.
