An AI Strategy Needs Choices About What to Fund and What to Stop

AI investment priorities must reflect expected business value, the evidence behind it, and the scarce capacity required to deliver it. Leaders need to compare complete investment paths, fund learning deliberately, and withdraw support when the case no longer holds.
