What changed, and whether it changes anything for you
Something in Canadian AI policy, funding or tooling moves most weeks. Most of it does not reach a business of ten or fifty people. When it does, the story goes here: what happened, the primary sources, and the action, or an explicit statement that there is no action. The longer playbooks are in the notes.
Stories are published when something clears the bar, which is two to four times a month. A quiet month gets no filler.
Before you spend anything
Tell me how many people work there, what the busiest hour of the week looks like, and which task everybody complains about. That is usually enough to say on a first call whether an assessment is worth your $999 or whether you have one obvious problem that needs one obvious fix.
