Most AI pilots are judged on the idea. The use case gets scrutinised. The group running it does not. A mismatched team will quietly flatten a good idea, and no business case survives that.
Which failed last time: the idea or the group?

Push people to use AI more, and they get looser with what they paste in. Tighten the rules, and they quietly stop. Moving both at once only works when limits are taught alongside capability, not emailed later as policy.

The threat is not the technology. It is the colleague who changed how they work. Licences are the cheap half. Habit is the expensive half, and it does not arrive with a seat allocation. Rebuild one task you repeated five times last week.
