Four questions

Who owns the vision for AI in this business?

How far does the AI plan reach?

Where does business data live for anyone who needs it outside the source system?

What does AI do with that data today?

The reading

What the position looks like, what tends to happen next, and what to do first appear here once all four questions are answered.

Where AI loses steam

The position we see most often in mid-market companies: managers have a vision for AI in their part of the business, and their departments have plans. But the data those plans need is locked inside the source systems, and the only AI in use is a chat add-in that can't see it. The people closest to the work know what to do and can't act on it.

Tools is also where companies overstate what they have. Dashboards built on extracts and a chat add-in bolted onto an existing product both look like AI tooling from the inside. Neither gives an AI project anything to run on. The two data questions above are worded to separate those from a working data layer.

That gap is what Copacati addresses: a governed data layer over the systems you already run, put in place without a migration, so the plan you have can start. A working session is the fastest way to find out how big the gap is for your systems.
