Turn one assumption into a test
Choose one result a customer pays you for. Before asking AI whether your business is protected, find a recent customer reason for buying and check it against your own explanation. A difference is a useful place to investigate.
This kit does the deeper work: the full assessment prompt, separate delivery and buying risk scales, two fictional worked examples, an evidence template, customer questions and a decision record. It asks about missing facts instead of filling gaps with a confident score.
The six-page guide includes the printable decision sheet. Your moat is moot explains why a customer only needs to replace the part they buy.
