Not a two-year transformation deck. A 90-day loop that makes one useful workflow prove itself or die cleanly.
Drawn from AI That Pays for Itself, the book's operator-first method for making AI produce measurable value.
Pick one workflow, map it, score data readiness, name sponsor and owner.
Scope the bounded pilot, set the metric and kill criterion, stand up HITL and error logs.
Measure honestly, redesign the workflow, then scale, adjust, or stop.
It goes into Kit so follow-up can match what you actually asked for, not some generic newsletter fog.
Use this before a vendor meeting, before a pilot, or before asking a board for budget. The point is to force the operational questions first: what moves, who owns it, what it costs, when we stop, and how we keep watching after launch.
