What is the Pragmatic AI Use Case Triage course about?

When organizations acquire or merge, AI opportunities multiply, but so do technical, cultural, and operational constraints. Without a disciplined triage process, teams default to pilot purgatory: scattered proofs of concept, duplicated efforts, and AI solutions that don't scale across new entity boundaries. The cost isn't just wasted budget, it's lost momentum during the critical integration window.
