From POC to Production: The 15-Point Decision Maker's Checklist for GenAI and AI Agent Workloads

A Proven Framework to Move Your AI from Proof-of-Concept to Production

Getting a Generative AI or agentic workload into production is harder than it looks. The 15-Point Decision Maker's Checklist gives CIOs, CTOs, and AI leaders a structured, field-tested framework to evaluate their organization's production readiness and align engineering, security, and business stakeholders around a clear path forward.

This downloadable guide walks you through 15 checkpoints across three critical themes — latency and cost optimization, UX and accuracy, and safety and governance — required to move your AI program from a promising proof-of-concept to a scalable, enterprise-ready system.

Why This Guide Matters

Research shows that 60 percent of AI projects will be abandoned through 2026, and 80 percent of GenAI projects are expected to fail by 2027. The most frequent causes are not technical — teams underestimate production dimensions like access control, token economics, evaluation, and safety guardrails, and discover the gaps only after leadership has committed budget.

This checklist enables your team to surface and close those gaps before rollout, by focusing on the decisions that actually determine whether an AI program ships.
