Stage Snapshot

Objective: Tangible value

Issue: The Shadow AI Gap: unvetted personal tools expose sensitive data and create inconsistent quality.

Shift: Structure creates safety through policy, governance, and approved workflows.

Result: Teams deliver early wins while reducing risk and operational drift.
