What Separates AI Success from AI Theater

70% of AI initiatives fail from poor data readiness. Organizations that succeed do three things differently before writing a single line of code.

Problem

The Problem

  • Jumping to use cases before assessing data readiness
  • Choosing platforms based on vendor relationships
  • Treating governance as an afterthought
  • Result: POCs that never reach production
Solution

The Solution

  • Data & AI maturity assessment reveals what's actually feasible
  • Platform decisions validated against real requirements
  • Governance frameworks designed for speed and compliance
  • Result: 90-day roadmaps that convert to production systems
