Notes from the
front line of AI delivery
What we learn shipping production AI agents inside real enterprises, the numbers, the failure modes, and the delivery model that gets you past the pilot.
Why 95% of Enterprise AI Pilots Fail (And the 5% That Don't)
MIT found 95% of enterprise AI pilots deliver zero measurable ROI. Here's what separates the 5% that reach production, with 2025-2026 data and a decision-maker's playbook.
ROI & Business CaseThe ROI of Enterprise AI Agents: 2026 Benchmarks
2026 ROI benchmarks for enterprise AI agents: self-reported ~171% returns, Klarna's ~$40M, 80%+ resolution rates, and why 95% of pilots still fail. Answer-first, sourced.
Forward-Deployed ModelWhat Is a Forward-Deployed Engineer (and Why Enterprise AI Needs One)
A forward-deployed engineer embeds in your team, absorbs operational pain, and ships production AI agents on real data under real governance. Here's why enterprise AI needs one, backed by 2025-2026 data.
