What You Get in Chapter One:
Reliability

Reliability is where everything else either holds or falls apart.
Chapter One focuses on what happens after AI is approved and deployed, when results need to stay consistent, behavior needs to remain stable, and confidence needs to hold across teams and time. Inside this chapter, you’ll find:
-
How reliability breaks down once systems are live
-
Where early warning signs usually appear and why they’re often missed
-
What reliability looks like beyond model accuracy
-
How drift shows up in data, behavior, and outcomes
-
The operational structures needed to detect issues early
-
How unreliable AI quietly creates manual work, escalations, and hidden cost
-
What leaders should be asking before allowing systems to scale
