You adopted AI tools. You skipped AI capability.

Every one of these problems traces to the same root. The tools work fine. The organization around them was never built to absorb them. That gap has a fix, and it looks like a system.

Every metric feels made up. Adoption rate? Productivity gains? You can measure activity, sure. But nobody in the room agrees on what success actually looks like. Most organizations never defined it in the first place.
