The framework names the constraint, the diagnostic locates it, and the 90-day plan moves it. Each section is one page; each page is one decision.
Why AI spend keeps rising while value stops compounding — with the three numbers your CFO will ask about.
What separates "Islands of AI" from connected capability. The single counter-intuitive insight most leadership teams miss.

Five questions, five minutes. Place your organisation honestly — divergence between answers matters more than the score.
Diagnose · Prioritise · Intervene · Commit. One pillar, one outcome, one repeatable cadence.
The AI Council, the commissioning protocol, the funding rules, the accountable function — installable in one ExCo session.
