Your experienced people are being told to adopt AI — and the loudest voices explaining it have never done your business. The enemy isn't the machine. It's being made obsolete by a technology nobody will explain to you in your own language.
I teach operators with real judgment how to run AI instead of being run over by it — how to decide what a machine is allowed to do, how to tell whether it did it, and how to know when it's lying. Then I write that fence down, and you own it.
Network marketing companies, direct selling companies, and affiliate marketers. I work with founders, executives, corporate home-office teams, and affiliate business owners responsible for AI adoption. Vendors serving these businesses — software, events, training, and compliance — and commission-based professions such as real estate, insurance, and mortgage are also welcome.
Not for: companies wanting cheap content, buyers shopping for on-site theater, anyone who wants tips instead of a system, or organizations hoping the old game holds one more year.
You and me. Nobody else in the room. Standing time every month — your questions, your business, your screen. The things you wouldn't ask in front of your own people: what you're actually being sold, whether what your team built is any good, what to do about the parts nobody has explained to you.
Your leadership team. Small, closed room — not a webinar. What an AI system has to do before it's worth keeping. Where the liability sits. How to tell a real system from a demo in about four questions. They leave able to referee what they're being sold. Recorded; the recording is yours.
An advisor on call. You text, I answer. Your people bring you something to approve and I look at it before you sign. A vendor makes a claim and I tell you whether it holds. No project, no meetings on a calendar — just someone whose only job is to tell you the truth about this, with nothing to sell you.
I have worked on the business side of person-to-person distribution since 1989 and founded Tiger Claw. My consulting connects that operating experience with building AI systems: define the job, set permissions, inspect the result. I call the industry-specific approach flavored AI agents.
The full record — the shipped platform, the commit trail, the coined term — is on the front page.
My work combining direct selling and technology was covered in SUCCESS in December 1994. Network Marketing Lifestyles profiled my use of web-based training and communications tools in September 2000. Networking Times published a four-page profile of my business journey and international field experience in January/February 2006. That experience informs my AI consulting for network marketing companies, direct selling companies, and affiliate marketers today.

I prepared a debugging protocol to help a software team give its AI assistant a clear, testable assignment: one failure and one path through the application. I also had it adapted into a reusable skill called Debugging in Slices.
This is a summary of that method. It gives a team a way to inspect the work at each step.
This example documents guidance I prepared. It does not claim measured client productivity gains or commercial results. Use it to assess my approach and the questions you would want answered about your own AI work.
