3. CRIT™: Building a Product MVP in 20 Minutes with AI

Imagine trying to track hundreds of grants spread across 500+ websites — each with its own windows, rules, and deadlines. 

For one leader, this was more than an administrative headache. It was millions in missed opportunities for clients, and a scaling problem that seemed impossible to solve.

That’s when he brought the challenge into CRIT™. In less than 20 minutes, AI built the blueprint: scraping sites, matching opportunities with Salesforce data, and triggering alerts. What once took weeks of manual work was transformed into a national-scale playbook that freed his team to focus on winning grants and building funder relationships.

The leader who shared this breakthrough? Todd Schmiedeler, Founder and President of Thumbprint Consulting.
