What the Data Actually Tells Us
Three patterns show up again and again:
- Simple beats custom. 67% of off-the-shelf AI setups succeed vs. 33% of custom builds. People overestimate how unique their needs are.
- Fewer beats more. AI leaders pursue half as many opportunities but scale twice as many successfully. Going deep on one thing beats going shallow on ten.
- Unsanctioned beats official. 50% of employees use AI tools their employers didn’t approve — and report higher satisfaction than people using the official enterprise tools. People make tools worse by adding complexity.
