AI Pilot
A short-term project in which an enterprise validates the feasibility and business value of AI technology within a real business environment. A significant gap typically exists between the demonstration stage and production deployment.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The AI pilot formula is: a maximum of 6 weeks, one use case and one team, predefined success metrics, a budget of no more than 50,000 dollars, an included rollback plan, and a decision point in week three.
Enterprise AI pilot funnel survival rates: 100% complete the demo, 55% get pilot approval, 30% are still running after 6 months, and 12% are trusted in production.
If an AI pilot succeeds, it should replace some existing system or step, and there must be a clear signer; otherwise the initiative will stall because it has not changed anything.
