THE TWO-SENTENCE PROBLEM TEST The first gate on any AI build Fill in both sentences. No jargon. No vendor terminology. Nothing you'd be embarrassed to say in front of a sharp twelve-year-old. The problem I'm trying to solve is ______________________. The way I currently handle it is ______________________. HOW TO READ YOUR ANSWER Two clean sentences -> run the full decision at Build / Buy / Skip. Can't strip the borrowed -> stop. Spend a week with the actual words work -- the people, the data, your own confusion -- until the plain version comes. Small honest version -> solve the small version. Don't inflate it back to a size that justifies the engagement. From "Before You Build" - topfiveaitech.com/worksheets
