Why AI Portfolios Drift and the Three Structures That Hold
Portfolio defenses for decisions under pressure
When the next quarter puts your AI budget under pressure, which decisions could already be settled by a standing rule?
Explore a whole-portfolio review, a protected foundation budget with named users, and written stop criteria applied by an independent reviewer.
Three decisions the paper helps you make
Protect foundations with named users
State the foundation share of the AI budget and identify the projects that will use each investment.
Agree on stop criteria at approval
Write the condition, baseline, and review date. Give the continuation decision to someone other than the sponsor.
