Initial Operating Capability
Move from experiment to repeatable operation.
IOC is the transition from "it worked in the pilot" to "we can run this reliably." This is where most AI adoption stalls. The pilot results were positive, but the organization lacks the governance structures, training programs, and support systems needed to operate AI at scale. IOC installs those foundations.
We build the operational layer: documented workflows, defined ownership, trained teams, and a governance structure that can manage risk without slowing execution. The goal is a capability that runs without heroics -- no single point of failure, no dependency on the person who set it up.
Pilot was successful but only one or two people know how to run it
No documented process for how the AI capability is operated
Risk and compliance teams have not been engaged
Success in the pilot has not translated to broader adoption
Operational workflows documented and validated
Ownership assigned with clear accountability
Training completed for all operators
Governance structure in place: risk, escalation, review cadence
