Models.

Agents.

Platforms.

Use cases.

Investment.

Then comes the harder question:

What are we actually trying to transform?

What business outcome matters?

Where does AI change the answer?

What needs to change in the operating model?

What should we stop?

What should we invest in?

It should not replace it.
