Here’s how you know it’s about to go sideways.
1. No Clear Owner
- If no one owns it, no one drives it
- You need a responsible lead who makes decisions fast
2. No Real User in the Loop
- If users aren’t testing it, they won’t adopt it
- Feedback drives relevance
3. No Deployment Path
- If it’s not going into a real environment, it’s academic
- Know where it will live before you build
4. Endless Pilot Mode
- If it’s always being refined and never launched, it’s a cost center
- Define what “good enough” looks like
Why It Matters
AI doesn’t fail in theory — it fails in execution. Spot the red flags early.
