Vasuman (100K+ followers) lays out nine conditions for enterprise AI to deliver measurable P&L impact: C-suite sponsor plus early legal/IT/finance buy-in; process mining of as-is workflows; agreed baselines and KPIs net of token costs; re-engineering processes (4 of 5 steps automated, plain code where possible); agents wired into existing systems (Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow) on one architecture layer; human-in-the-loop decision boundaries with reversible, traceable actions; shadow-mode runs against current staff before payouts; the 5-10% internal early adopters as ambassadors; and a 7-month plan to own all agents, data, evals and logs, model-agnostic, in your own cloud. Post ends with a Varick pitch.
