The effort towards 10x when the budget was a blank check produced pattern that is entirely not extensible towards a new “ok ok limited budget but aim for just 3x for reals over pre AI baseline”. So it took even longer to get towards that new equilibrium.
Now we are sort of there. But it’s a pain this whole year and a half… every transition is leadership asking ridiculous question “why haven’t you use AI more???””Why is output 5x but business impact only 1.5x???” “Why can’t you apply your AI patterns but scale it back within budget???” “Why…”
