Field Note: Three businesses. Three different interventions.

Imagine three businesses all say:

“Our employees spend too much time handling customer requests.”

At first glance, AI might seem like an obvious answer.

But look closer.

1️⃣ Business A

Most requests are predictable and follow clear rules.

The problem is repetitive data entry.

🎯 Potential intervention: Automation.

2️⃣ Business B

Employees spend too much time searching across documents and internal information before responding.

The information exists, but accessing it is difficult.

🎯 Potential intervention: Better information access—and potentially AI-assisted search.

3️⃣ Business C

Customer requests are complex and require understanding unstructured information before deciding what to do.

🎯 Here, AI may have a more meaningful role.

Three businesses.

Similar symptom.

Different problems.

Different interventions.

This is why starting with:

“We need AI.”

can be the wrong starting point.

Start with:

“What exactly is happening?”

Then investigate the evidence.

Then identify the opportunity.

Then choose the intervention.

Business Problem → Evidence → Opportunity → Right Intervention → Outcome

AI can be part of that journey.

It just shouldn't replace the journey.

Over the past few weeks, we've been asking some basic questions about business growth:

Can customers find you?

Where is the problem in the customer journey?

Where could a new growth opportunity exist?

Now comes another important question:

What should you actually do about it?

This is where many businesses jump directly to technology.

Especially AI.

But finding an opportunity doesn't automatically mean that AI is the answer.

Maybe the problem is a broken process.

Maybe information is difficult to access.

Maybe employees are repeating the same manual work.

Maybe customers are asking the same questions again and again.

Maybe the business needs better data before it needs better AI.

Or perhaps AI really is the right intervention.

The point is to find out **before investing in it**.

So instead of asking:

❌ “How can we use AI?”

start with:

✅ “What business problem are we trying to improve?”

Then:

Evidence → Opportunity → Intervention → Outcome

This week we'll look at where AI can genuinely fit—and where another intervention may make more sense.

Last week, we looked at a simple but important question:

*Can your next customer actually find you?*

We looked at search, presence, relevance, trust and the path from interest to action.

But even when you understand where the customer journey is breaking, there is another question worth asking:

*Where could your next growth opportunity actually be?*

When a business says:

> “We need more customers.”

there are many possible reasons—and many possible directions to investigate.

Maybe there is:

🔹 a customer group you haven't considered yet
🔹 a new market where your existing service could solve a different problem
🔹 a channel where your potential customers are already active
🔹 a search demand you haven't connected with
🔹 a partner who already has access to the audience you want to reach

These opportunities require very different actions.

Sometimes the answer is better digital presence.

Sometimes it's content or search.

Sometimes it's a new acquisition channel.

Sometimes it's a partnership.

And sometimes the evidence tells you that you don't need another marketing activity at all—you need to fix something deeper in the business.

So before asking:

*“What should we do next?”*

try asking:

*“What is the evidence telling us about where the opportunity is?”*

This week, we'll explore four places to look:

*Market → Channel → Search → Partnership*

The goal isn't to chase every possible opportunity.

It's to investigate, find evidence, test what makes sense, and then decide what intervention is actually justified.

*Evidence Over Guesswork.*

Where would you look first for your next growth opportunity?

Try this today.

Forget your company name.

Forget your website.

Forget how you describe your business internally.

Imagine you are a customer who has never heard of you.

You have a problem that your business can solve.

How would you find a business like yours?

Write down the first 3 things you would do.

Then check whether your business actually appears in those places.

That gap between:

“Where customers look”

and

“Where we are visible”

may be one of your most useful growth clues.

Illustrative diagnostic exercise—not a client case study.

Evidence first. Guesswork second.

🔍 Is your business easy to discover?
Use this quick 5-point check:
1️⃣ SEARCH
Would your ideal customer know what to search for?
2️⃣ PRESENCE
Are you visible where they actually look?
3️⃣ RELEVANCE
When they find you, is it clear what you do and who you help?
4️⃣ TRUST
Do they see enough evidence to believe you?
5️⃣ ACTION
Is there an obvious next step?
Think of it as:
Find → Understand → Trust → Act
If one step is broken, simply generating more traffic may not fix the problem.
Before choosing the solution, find the bottleneck.
Evidence Over Guesswork.
Which of the five would you rate lowest for your business?

🔎 Can your next customer actually find your business?

Before spending more on advertising, content, SEO or a new website, try this simple test:

Imagine you are your ideal customer.

You need the product or service you provide.

Now ask:

1️⃣ What would you search for?

2️⃣ Where would you look?

3️⃣ Would your business appear?

4️⃣ If it appeared, would you immediately understand what you offer?

5️⃣ Would you know what to do next?

If the answer is “not really,” you may not have a traffic problem.

You may have a discoverability problem.

And that changes what you should do next.

At Zagros Dataware, we believe growth decisions should start with evidence—not assumptions.

Business problem → Evidence → Opportunity → Action
