Exploring business challenges and the role of AI.
I'm conducting independent research to better understand the operational challenges small businesses face and how they're currently using or considering AI. What I learn may inform future research and practical software solutions.
About this research
This is an independent initiative conducted by Brandon L. Scott. It is not affiliated with any employer or client. The goal is to understand real operational challenges and technology adoption patterns among small businesses.
Participation is entirely voluntary. Completing this survey does not sign you up for marketing, consulting outreach, or follow-up communications of any kind. If you later choose to connect, that is a separate and entirely optional action.
How responses are used
Responses are analyzed in aggregate to identify patterns and themes. Individual responses will not be published or shared in an identifiable form. Free-text comments may inform future research directions but will not be quoted publicly without explicit permission.
No contact details — name, email, or business name — are requested or required at any point in the survey.
