Most Enterprise Agentic Projects Are Doomed, Here's Why
summary
An agentic application is built in two weeks but takes another 12 months to get to production because security, AI gateway, data governance, infra and app teams must align; approval chains were never designed for 275 million commits per week (14 billion/year). Five predictive tensions: executable approval workflows, VC‑style portfolio finance, hypothesis‑driven delivery loops, progressive autonomy gated by outcome evidence, and a living product memory from real customer signals.
