Everyone has a story about the AI pilot that went nowhere. The demo looked incredible. The deck had a chart pointing up and to the right. Six months later the thing is sitting in a branch nobody merged, the person who championed it has switched teams, and the next budget meeting is a little awkward.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’ve lived that, you already know the hard part of AI system integration isn’t the AI. It’s everything around it. The data that turned out to be a mess, old system with no clean way to get records out of it, security review nobody scheduled, and tool that worked great in a sandbox and fell apart the second real customers touched it.<\/span><\/p>\n
