Quarter in review, what 90 days of enterprise AI deployments taught us

Stepping back to look at the quarter.

Aggregated learnings across 40+ deployments this quarter:

- Average time from contract to production: 4.2 weeks

- Average time to measurable ROI: 90 days (matched our internal target)

- Most common compliance blocker: data residency (37% of cases)

- Most common technical surprise: legacy system integration (52% of cases)

- Most common organisational surprise: lack of internal AI lead on customer side

The thing I keep coming back to: enterprise AI is more of a people problem than a technology problem. The platforms work. The deployments succeed or fail based on the org's readiness, not the model's capability.
