Stratagems #11: Lena Watched Her Own AI Platform Get Cut. An Ember Stayed.
TL;DR: Lena faces a tough financial truth about her AI evaluation platform after building it for the board, realizing it may not be delivering the value expected. The story centers on sacrifice and managing stakeholder expectations when metrics don’t align with ambitions.
Lena developed VeriTest's AI Evaluation Platform to showcase leadership in AI-powered assessment. The board cares about revenue and tangible value, not just demos. She investigates the platform's financials, breaking down product lines to understand profitability. Despite a polished demo and executive praise, the hard numbers reveal the real economic impact. The situation tests Lena's credibility and forces a decision on how to balance ambition with sustainability.
Question for the room: What metrics or signals do you rely on to prove ROI when building internal AI platforms for consultants or product teams?
