Where promising initiatives break down
A promising idea becomes expensive when nobody has made the problem, owner, or production path explicit.
Teams start with an AI trend instead of a workflow, customer problem, or revenue lever
Prototypes fail when data, integration, latency, or governance constraints appear
Product, engineering, and commercial teams use different definitions of success
Automation and model choices have no owner or fallback path
Software, observability, security, or release practices cannot support production use
