AI Strategy & Readiness

A clear view of where AI will pay back, what stands in the way, and the order to do things in.

01 — The problem

Most AI strategies are lists of use cases. Few say which data, platforms, controls, and people each one depends on — or what to stop doing to fund it.

Too many pilotsDozens of experiments compete for the same data and the same few engineers.
Unclear valueBenefits are stated in hours saved, not in cost, revenue, or risk the CFO recognizes.
Hidden dependenciesData quality, access, and platform gaps surface only after funding is committed.
