Clarity first. ROI that shows up. Fast.

I’m Stuart Winter-Tear. I help executives cut through AI hype and ship changes the ledger notices. Together, we target a flow that touches revenue or risk, ship a thin slice, and prove what moved.

Trusted for Clear, ROI-Driven AI

I write and speak for leaders under pressure to “do something with AI.”  
My work reaches thousands of executives, founders, and investors each week.

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.
