Clarity first. ROI that shows up. Fast.

I’m Stuart Winter-Tear. I help executives cut through AI hype and deliver results the business can measure. Together we choose the value flows that matter, tied to revenue or risk, ship it fast, and prove the change.

Trusted for Clear, ROI-Driven AI

I help leaders cut through hype in practice - running sprints, advising boards, and turning pressure into progress. Alongside this work, I write and speak for executives under pressure to “do something with AI.”

My work reaches thousands of founders, executives, and investors each week - through my book From Hype to Hard ROI in the Age of AI, the Unhype AI Podcast (with Vin Vashishta), and regular writing.

Founder of Unhyped - a practice built on clarity, receipts, and results.

How I Help Leaders

Practical ways I work with executives to cut through hype, focus on flows that matter, and deliver ROI you can defend.

Strategy Sprints
Short, focused engagements that cut through noise, validate direction, and prove what moves.
Good for: picking one flow tied to revenue or risk, shipping a thin slice, and showing results fast.

Why Unhyped?

Most AI strategy is theatre. Pretty demos. Vague roadmaps. Dashboards that glow but never touch the ledger. My approach is different:

Start where value flows - money, risk, or trust.

Wire AI into the pipes, not the PowerPoint

Prove change with receipts leaders can defend in daylight

It’s not innovation theatre.
It’s clarity, traction, and ROI that shows up.
