The author argues the big opportunity in business AI isn't that companies are late — it's that their problems are easy to fix. Very large orgs are an infrastructure and adoption nightmare, but almost every SMB still has sales updating the CRM by hand or marketing running the entire content pipeline manually. These bottlenecks die to very simple systems: build a portfolio of such projects and speedrun to $100k+ MRR.
