Why Most AI PoCs Never Reach Production?
A practical, production-first framework based on 100+ AI projects — showing how teams move from pilots to real business value without wasting months.
What you’ll discover inside the whitepaper
Why AI PoCs fail
- The real reasons only ~26% of initiatives reach measurable value
- What demos and benchmarks never prepare you for
What production-ready AI actually requires
- Data & model reliability in real-world conditions
- MLOps, monitoring, retraining, and legacy integration
- When not to use AI at all
How successful teams approach implementation
- A production-first AI implementation framework
- Proven case studies across industries (InPost’s demand forecasting handling millions of daily data points, retail computer vision achieving 91% accuracy, and aviation documentation improving operator efficiency)
This whitepaper is for you if:
- You already ran AI PoCs, but scaling stalled
- Your models work in testing but fail on live data
- Business expects ROI, but tech debt keeps growing
- You’re deciding whether to scale, pause, or kill an AI initiative
