It is easy to measure activity: models deployed, prompts processed, hours of experimentation. None of it tells a leadership team whether the business is performing better. That is why we agree the baseline before we build.

Agree the measures up front

For each workflow we set the handful of measures that matter to the business, such as cycle time, cost per transaction, capacity or response time, and record where they stand today.
