Before you buy it, see if you can build it with the help of AI.
Every week I take something solo operators get pitched (a coaching program, a platform, a retainer), rebuild the useful part with the AI I already pay for, run it on a real example, and price the difference. Then I say what the build cannot do, and give a verdict: Build, Buy, or Both.
