The 90-Day AI Plan: From Experiment to P&L Without Torching Cash
A staged rollout that proves ROI before it scales.
Most AI initiatives die in the gap between the demo that wowed everyone and the deployment that quietly bled money. Here is a staged plan that keeps you out of that gap.
Days 1 to 30
Pick one workflow with a clear dollar value attached. Set a hard budget cap on day one. Measure the baseline — what it costs and how long it takes today, with people.
Days 31 to 60
Deploy to a small team. Route to the cheapest model that clears the quality bar, not the most impressive one. Track cost per outcome obsessively.
Days 61 to 90
Prove the ROI or kill it. Scale only what pays for itself. No company-wide rollouts on faith. The half-billion-dollar cautionary tale skipped exactly this discipline.
