Key Takeaway

Failing to maintain AI systems can render them fully obsolete within months, leading to wasted investment and degraded operational performance. To prevent this, critical AI skills require almost weekly updates, with a 'rot file' system in place to manage their moderate decay rate and ensure continued effectiveness.

Our Take— Mike Sanders, Founder
“We see this rapid decay as a direct threat to P&L, turning initial AI investments into liabilities within 90 days if not actively managed for continuous improvement.”
