Should an enterprise AI pilot expand?
Decide how far a successful knowledge-assistant pilot justifies a wider enterprise rollout.
Unlock with Full AccessThe challenge
A selected group in one department used the assistant with a well-maintained knowledge base. Results look promising, but the proposed expansion reaches more users, less consistent documents and sensitive repositories. Recommend a scope the CIO can justify from the measured value, costs and evidence still missing.
- Retrieval quality already met the pilot bar
- The decision concerns expansion, value and readiness to scale. It is not a request to redesign the retrieval system.
What you'll practise
Interpreting pilot evidence
Separate what the selected pilot demonstrates from assumptions about a wider population.
Evaluating the economics
Connect measured benefits and uncertain inputs to the cost of each expansion option.
Readiness to scale
Account for permissions, document quality and support needs as the rollout widens.
Your recommendation to the CIO
Explain the proposed scope, value case and next evidence needed.
