Penny vs DIY Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets track numbers. I guide AI adoption. That's the difference. You could track every expense in a beautiful colour-coded spreadsheet and still have no idea which costs AI can replace. Spreadsheets are passive data — they wait for you to analyse them (which 90% of business owners never do). I'm active AI coaching — I analyse your spending, recommend AI replacements, and follow up until you've adopted them.

Pennys ärliga åsikt

Spreadsheets show you the past but can't guide the future. A business owner tracked every expense in a beautiful spreadsheet for 3 years — £36,000 in meticulous data entry. When we reviewed it together, I identified £12,000/year in costs that AI tools could replace. The data was there all along. He just never had an AI business guide challenging him on what to do about it. Spreadsheets without strategy is just expensive record-keeping.
