Bizer is built on a simple belief: small businesses deserve advisory-grade help, made practical by AI. Here’s our published work, the questions we’re actively investigating, and what’s shipping next.
The questions we’re actively investigating — grouped by theme, and open by design.
What stops small businesses from adopting AI, and what removes the friction?
Map the real barriers — trust, time, cost, technical confidence — and test which interventions most increase adoption among non-technical owners.
Does an “approval gate” increase owner trust and AI usage?
Measure whether requiring explicit human approval for every outbound AI action changes how much owners trust — and actually use — an AI sidekick.
Which leading indicators predict small business cash crunches 30 days out?
Identify the receivables, burn, and seasonality signals that most reliably forecast a cash shortfall before it happens.
What is the impact of AI-assisted invoicing on days-sales-outstanding?
Test whether AI-drafted, approval-gated payment reminders measurably reduce how long invoices stay unpaid.
What is the ROI of AI-curated market research for solo founders?
Evaluate whether founders who use an AI sidekick for market and competitor research reach validated positioning faster.
Does responding to reviews with AI assistance lift local conversion?
Test whether faster, AI-assisted (human-approved) responses to Google Business Profile reviews improve local search visibility and conversion.
How much time is recovered when GTD and an AI sidekick run the weekly review?
Quantify the time and follow-through gains when owners pair a weekly review with an AI that remembers context.
What happens to outcomes when the support between advising sessions is continuous?
Investigate whether the assess–focus–act loop, running daily in software with humans in the loop, improves the results owners get from the counseling and mentoring they already receive.
