Articles
Articles on AI strategy: use-case selection, pilots that reach production, budgeting, governance and the decisions that make AI projects pay off.

Most AI projects do not fail on the model. They fail earlier, on the choice of problem, the state of the data or the absence of a baseline that would show whether anything improved. The articles in this category are about those earlier decisions: how to pick use cases that pay off, how to budget and staff a pilot, when to write the stop rule, and how to tell a working proof of concept from a prototype that became production by accident.
The pieces are written for the people who sign off on AI budgets rather than the people who train models. Expect checklists, cost arithmetic and failure patterns from real projects, not tool reviews. Where a topic deserves hands-on help, the article says what that engagement looks like and what it should deliver.
