Make better business decisions with CEO-designed AI.
The Smarter Way to Solve Business Problems
Most companies are using AI too small.
Employees writing faster emails is not transformation.
Everything between a business problem and a better decision.
AI becomes more valuable when you stop treating it like a writing tool and start using it as a thinking partner.
Start with a real business problem. Give AI the context it needs to understand your business. Use it to examine assumptions, risks and tradeoffs. Then apply your experience and judgment to make a clearer decision — and turn that decision into action.
That’s the approach behind everything we build at AI Growth Partners.

What is Decision Check?
You have been going back and forth on this for weeks. Get a clearer read in minutes.
It starts by asking a few questions about your situation, because the context is what separates a useful answer from a generic one. Then you tell it what you are deciding. The second truck. The builder who wants 45-day terms. Promoting the inside sales lead instead of hiring from outside.
From there it puts AI to work the way it should be used: not to write something for you, but to give you an outside read on your own business. What is actually driving the decision, whether it deserves the attention you are giving it, and what you should do.
The AI does the analysis. What it asks you, and what it makes you look at, came out of John Marshall’s forty years running companies, including 500% growth as President and COO of Wilson Lumber.
What you type is never used to train any AI model, and we do not save it.
We are at 40% of gross profit going to delivery and I think we need a second truck, but my ops manager says we need routing software instead.

The $650K Tara Manufacturing story
AI Growth Partners focused on executive leverage first — applying structured AI workflows to operational planning, communication, analysis, and decision-making tied directly to business performance.
In just eight months, the initiative produced approximately $650,000 in measurable business value.
Not from replacing people.
Not from a massive software rollout.
From one executive using AI strategically on high-value business responsibilities.
Full disclosure: I serve as interim CEO and Chairman of the Board of Tara Manufacturing. The $650,000 figure is an internal estimate using a documented business-value framework applied to eight months of one executive’s work.

TESTIMONIALS
“Whenever I have a question about using AI more effectively, John is my go-to resource.”
I have known John Marshall for years, dating back to when he was President of Wilson Lumber in Alabama.
He has fully embraced the rapid evolution of this technology—particularly as it applies to the LBM industry.
John has personally helped me better understand how AI can improve efficiency and productivity in my consulting business.
He is straightforward, honest, knowledgeable, and practical in his approach. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to better understand and apply AI.
“His work in artificial intelligence combines with all his past experiences to make his recommendations especially valuable.”
I first met John when he was writing a profile of Wilson Lumber when my magazine named it ProSales Dealer of the Year.
John was COO at the time, and it was immediately clear that this guy knew how to run a top-notch lumberyard and lead a team. Wilson’s executives had high expectations and worked hard to achieve their goals. Then and now, John searched constantly for ways to improve processes. His work in artificial intelligence combines with all his past experiences to make his recommendations especially valuable.
