Why AI pilots stall.
70% of GenAI pilots never reach production. The model is rarely the reason.
1
No owner after the demo
Pilots belong to IT. Outcomes belong to the business.
2
Data nobody trusts
The model is right. The inputs aren’t.
3
A workflow nobody changed
People keep the old way, plus a new tab.
