Why implementation is the bottleneck
95% of pilots with no P&L impact, 22% scaled, and why the model is never the reason.
The pod
Forward Deployed Engineer, Deployment Strategist and AI Engineer: what each one owns.
The four phases
Discovery Express, Blueprint, Pilot, Scale & Managed, and the decision that closes each one.
The KPI Contract
The four parts of the clause, an anonymized example and what we refuse to sign.
The handover
Repo, cloud, prompts and evals versioned, runbooks and the workshop. Your team keeps everything.
Checklists
Data readiness, security review, eval plan, go-live and the commitment gate template.
Who it is for
For the three people who sign
CTO, CIO and architecture
Where the agent runs and what stays in the tenant.
COO and operations
Who signs the KPI and lives with the agent after the pod leaves.
Transformation and CX
A pilot that did not scale, and a method that produces a decision.
