(This is Part 2 of a three-part series exploring what it takes to bring true agentic AI systems into enterprise production. In Part 1, we broke down the PoC-to-Production Engineering Gap, using the commercial aviation autopilot analogy to show why 88% of AI pilots stall and why true ROI requires rewriting the operating model rather […]
