Pillar post: Practical AI Adoption — a Topic Hub that helps leaders turn data and models into measurable business outcomes without requiring them to become engineers. Focus on benefits first: save time, cut errors, sharpen decisions, and free people for higher-value work.

Core guidance: Start with a single high-value use case and clear KPIs. Validate with representative data in a short pilot, build governance and monitoring before scaling, protect privacy by design, and bake human review and explainability into workflows. Use simple methods that meet KPIs; prefer evidence, independent validation, and iterative learning.

Operational checklist:

• Define success: literal KPIs (accuracy, time saved, cost per transaction, user satisfaction) and baseline measurements.
• Assess data readiness: lineage, missing values, sampling and label quality, legal constraints (GDPR/HIPAA/CCPA).
• Pilot & iterate: A/B tests, holdouts, short cycles, experiment logs, rollback plans.
• Governance: owners, stewards, monitoring for drift, audits, and documentation (model cards, decision records).
• Fairness & privacy: dataset audits, metric-led validation, DPIAs, anonymization/synthetic data, human gates for high-risk cases.

How to use this hub: Read the pillar for strategy and refer to concise cluster posts below for hands-on playbooks, templates, and checklists to run pilots, evaluate vendors, and prove ROI.

Cluster posts (short, linked guides):

• Use-Case Selection & KPI Template: pick high-impact problems, sample KPIs, and a one-page pilot plan.
• Data Readiness & Privacy Checklist: lineage, bias checks, DPIA steps, and synthetic-data options for safe dev.
• Pilot Playbook: experiment design, A/B testing template, sample size and confidence-interval guidance.
• Governance & Monitoring Guide: roles, drift alerts, audit-ready documentation and rollback procedures.
• Fairness & Explainability Toolkit: metric choices, validation scripts, and communication templates for users and regulators.
• Vendor Evaluation & Evidence Standards: what citations, replicability, and trial terms to demand before purchase.

Use the pillar for strategic alignment and the cluster posts as tactical playbooks to run pilots, prove impact, and scale responsibly.
