The AI adoption lifecycle

The map above shows which tool fits which function and stage. This is the separate question of how to actually roll one out — from identifying the use case through selecting, piloting, and guardrailing a tool with a real evaluation set, all the way to monitoring it once it's live.

Identify

Spot a repetitive, high-value task in a function and name the metric it should move before picking a tool.

Select

Compare real, sourced options for that function — pricing, free tier, and enterprise-readiness side by side.

Compare in the Registry
Pilot

Run one team through the tool with a human-review gate on every output before any wider rollout.

Plan a pilot
Guardrail & Eval

Build an evaluation (eval) set from your own tasks and put filters, allow-lists, and spend caps in place before scaling.

See guardrails & evaluation
Deploy & Scale

Roll out to the full function once the pilot clears its success bar, and estimate the real monthly cost.

Build the stack
Monitor

Log outputs, watch for drift, and alert on anomalies — what you learn here feeds back into Identify and Evals.

See what to monitor
Monitor feeds straight back into Identify and Evals — this is a loop, not a one-time rollout.

Every team, every tool

The same information as the diagram above, as a plain list — for screen readers, small screens, or whenever a list is just faster than clicking around a canvas.
