# 6-Hour Project: Central Ohio AI Opportunity Research ## Goal I want you to research potential opportunities for me to provide practical AI education, workshops, training, speaking, consulting, or related services in Columbus and Central Ohio. This is a **6-hour research project**, so I want quality over quantity. I do not want a large list of organizations copied from Google. I want you to find a smaller number of promising opportunities and dig deeper into them. You do not need to call anyone. All research can be completed online. ## 1. Find 15–20 Strong Organizations Research 15–20 organizations in Columbus or Central Ohio that may have a reason to offer, sponsor, purchase, host, or fund practical AI education. Possible organizations include: * Workforce development organizations * Nonprofits * Libraries * Colleges * Chambers of commerce * Entrepreneurship programs * Small-business organizations * Women-focused organizations * Veteran organizations * Community programs * Professional associations * Government programs * Digital literacy or technology programs For each organization collect: * Organization name * Website * What they do * Audience they serve * Current training, workshops, or education programs * Whether they currently offer AI-related training * Why AI education could potentially fit * Source links Mark each: **AI Training Found: Yes / No / Unclear** I am especially interested in organizations that already offer workforce, business, digital literacy, technology, entrepreneurship, career, or professional-development training but appear to have little or no AI education. ## 2. Find the Decision-Maker For each promising organization, find the person most likely responsible for training, education, programming, workforce development, partnerships, or small-business programs. Collect: * Name * Job title * LinkedIn profile * Publicly listed email, if available * Source Do not guess email addresses. ## 3. Follow the Money Spend part of the research time looking for evidence that these organizations have funding available for training or education. Look for: * Previous grants * Government funding * Foundation funding * Corporate sponsorship * Workforce-development funding * Digital-literacy funding * Entrepreneurship funding * Technology education funding For promising findings, record: * Organization receiving funding * Funder * Amount, if available * Year * What the money was for * Source I am especially interested in **previous grant winners**, because this shows which organizations already have money flowing toward education or workforce programs. ## 4. Look for Paid Opportunities Research any relevant current or previous: * RFPs * Training contracts * Consulting contracts * Workshop opportunities * Speaker opportunities * Conferences * Professional-development events Do not spend too much time on this section. Include the strongest opportunities you find. ## 5. Rank the Best Opportunities After completing the research, select the **Top 5 organizations** you believe are most worth pursuing. For each Top 5 organization include: **Organization:** **What they do:** **Current training:** **AI training found:** **Funding evidence:** **Decision-maker:** **Why this may be a good opportunity:** **Possible AI workshop idea:** **Recommended next step:** Examples of possible workshops could include: * AI for Everyday Work * ChatGPT for Small Businesses * Practical AI for Job Seekers * AI Productivity for Nonprofit Employees * AI for Entrepreneurs * AI Basics for Beginners These are examples only. Recommend what makes sense based on your research. ## Research Standards You may use AI tools to help locate and organize information, but important facts should be verified using reliable sources. Good sources include: * Official organization websites * Government websites * Foundation websites * Annual reports * Grant announcements * LinkedIn * Procurement websites * University websites * Press releases * Official event websites Please include source links. If something cannot be confirmed, mark it: **Unverified** Do not invent or guess information. ## Final Deliverable Please provide one Excel or Google Sheets workbook containing: ### Tab 1 – Organizations The 15–20 organizations and all research. ### Tab 2 – Decision Makers Names, positions, contact information, LinkedIn, and sources. ### Tab 3 – Funding & Opportunities Grants, previous awards, contracts, RFPs, events, and other useful findings. ### Tab 4 – Top 5 Your five strongest opportunities with your reasoning and recommended next steps. ## Final Summary At the end of the project, write a short summary answering: 1. What were the most promising opportunities you found? 2. Which organizations appear to already have funding? 3. What gaps did you notice in AI education? 4. What surprised you? 5. If you were me, which 3 organizations would you contact first and why? ## Time Limit Please spend a maximum of **6 hours** on this project. Do not try to maximize the number of organizations. I would rather receive **15 well-researched organizations with useful findings than 100 basic organizations.** ### Main Question **Who in Central Ohio already has the audience, programs, funding, or infrastructure that could support practical AI education, and which opportunities appear most worth pursuing?**

Hi There, I can complete this as a focused, quality-first research project rather than a basic lead list. I’ll identify 15–20 strong Central Ohio organizations, verify their training programs, AI activity, decision-makers, funding history, and relevant paid opportunities using official and reliable sources. I’ll organize the findings into the requested 4-tab Excel/Google Sheets structure, clearly mark anything unverified, and finish with a ranked Top 5 plus a concise strategic summary of the best organizations to approach first. I’m comfortable working within the 6-hour cap and prioritizing depth, source quality, and actionable opportunities over volume.

Hello, I can conduct a focused 6-hour research sprint to identify 15–20 high-potential organizations across Columbus and Central Ohio that could benefit from or fund practical AI education. I’ll research each organization’s programs, audience, current AI offerings, potential fit, funding history, relevant grants, RFPs, workshops, and other opportunities using reliable sources. I’ll also identify the most relevant decision-makers and provide only publicly verified contact details—never guessed emails. The final Excel workbook will include: • Organizations and detailed research • Decision-makers and verified sources • Funding, grants, RFPs, and opportunities • Ranked Top 5 prospects with reasoning and recommended next steps I’ll prioritize depth over quantity, especially organizations with existing workforce, entrepreneurship, education, digital-literacy, or professional-development infrastructure but limited AI training. I’ll clearly mark anything unverified and provide source links throughout. The final summary will identify the strongest opportunities, funding patterns, AI education gaps, surprises, and the three organizations I would contact first. I have strong experience in online research, lead qualification, market research, and structured data analysis, and I’m ready to focus the full six-hour window on actionable findings.

Hello, I understand that this is not a simple list-building task. You need focused research to identify organizations in Columbus and Central Ohio that have the audience, programs, funding, or infrastructure to potentially support practical AI education. I can research 15–20 carefully selected organizations and build the workbook across the requested four areas: * Organization research, audience, existing training and AI-training status * Relevant decision-makers with publicly available contact details and source links * Grant/funding history, funders, amounts, years and purpose where verifiable I’ll prioritize organizations already involved in workforce development, entrepreneurship, digital literacy, professional education, small-business support and related programs rather than collecting generic organizations. For important claims, I’ll verify information through official websites, government/foundation sources, annual reports, procurement pages, LinkedIn and official announcements. I will clearly mark anything that cannot be confirmed and will never guess email addresses or other contact information. The final Excel workbook will be clean, structured and source-backed, followed by the requested summary of the strongest opportunities and the first three organizations I would approach. I can complete the research within the requested 6-hour limit while prioritizing depth and actionable findings over volume. Best Regards

This project is really about finding organizations with an actual reason and budget to buy AI education, not just building a list of Columbus nonprofits. I’d focus the research on organizations already running workforce, business, or professional-development programs, then use funding history and the people behind those programs to rank the strongest leads. My approach: Research 15–20 Central Ohio organizations and verify their current programs and AI activity Find relevant decision-makers using public sources, without guessing contact details Check grants, sponsorships, workforce funding, and past training opportunities Rank the top 5 with a specific workshop angle and practical next step I’m comfortable with web research, data collection, and organizing findings into structured Excel/Google Sheets reports, with source links attached to each important claim. I’d deliver the research in about 1–2 days, with the 6-hour research window focused on depth rather than volume. If you want, I can also structure the final sheet so the Top 5 prospects are immediately usable for outreach.
