Reflection — No value metric, no value

According to BCG, 60% of companies neither define nor track any financial metric tied to the value AI creates. Yet what isn't measured can't be steered: a project with no target drifts toward a technical demo, not a result.

The action: for every AI project, set a single value metric — a cost, a delay, a rate — measured before and after, and make it the condition for scaling.
