About the Book


Executives don’t need another hype-filled AI guide.

They need a field manual.

UNHYPED is written for leaders who are under pressure to make sense of AI - and deliver results, not theatre.

This isn’t a tour of technical jargon or inflated promises. It’s a practical playbook that shows how to pick the seams that matter, measure what moves, and avoid the traps that waste time and money.

Across 30,000+ words and 70+ pages, short, sharp, and designed for decision-makers.

The aim:

Clarity first, ROI that shows up fast.

Why Read This Book?

You’ll learn how to:

- Tell apart innovation theatre from genuine impact
- Move beyond endless pilots into production value
- Ask sharper questions of teams, vendors, and consultants
- Spot where AI can reduce risk and where it only adds noise
- Apply practical frameworks and examples grounded in reality

This is not about AI as a buzzword. It’s about AI as a business lever.
