Our five-stage readiness model spans: Ad Hoc → Opportunistic → Structured → Integrated → Optimized. Progress signals include governance artifact completeness, data quality SLO adherence, evaluation harness coverage, and model operations incident MTTR.
Leaders use these signals to prioritize investments (data labeling uplift, infrastructure observability, policy formalization) that unlock safe scaling.
