Unit Economics

Why Most Enterprise Generative AI Pilots Fail

MIT Project NANDA (2025): 95% of custom or integrated GenAI pilots had no measurable P&L impact. A board triage on when a pilot is still an experiment.

Capital Allocation

The Summer Hype Test for AI Claims

A lab headline is not a capital process. Require independent review, a denominator, and a result that stops the spend before you fund the claim.

Budget Committee

The Budget Committee Test for AI Pilots

Most AI pilots die in the room that writes the next cheque. Write the baseline, the off-slide costs, and the owner who will defend the number before you ask for year-two funding.

Fluency

Access Is Not Fluency

A licence count is a login. Fluency is a named decision, a standard of evidence, and a review path when the model is wrong.

Vendor Diligence

How to Read an AI Vendor ROI Claim

A payback number without a baseline, omitted costs, and a named owner is a sales slide, not a financial model. Five reading tests before procurement.

Decision Rights

Decision Rights Before Model Choice

The expensive mistake is buying model access before anyone owns the decisions that output is allowed to bind. Name the owner, the evidence, and the failure path first.

Governance & Risk

EU AI Act & Corporate Governance: The 2026 Boardroom Playbook

A step-by-step compliance and audit architecture for C-suite leaders navigating high-risk AI classification and mandatory transparency requirements.

Tokenomics & Simulation

Tokenomics Audit Checklist & Agent-Based Stress Testing

Published methodology in the Journal of The British Blockchain Association for evaluating token velocity, speculative drift, and incentive stability with TokenLab.
