82% of enterprises run AI pilots, but over half never deploy: production, not models, is the bottleneck

The author argues the real bottleneck in AI agents isn't the model—it's productionization. Roughly 82% of enterprises have active AI proof-of-concepts, but more than half never reach full deployment, usually failing on unglamorous things: error handling, audit trails, human approval steps, and keeping agents inside safe boundaries.
Example: GeekyAnts treats read-only execution limits, human-in-the-loop checks, and audit logs as day-one design, and even warrants AI-generated code; their fraud detection system runs 1.2M transactions/day at 92% accuracy with sub-second responses.
Takeaway: the pilot-to-production gap matters more than endless demos.
