Why 95% of AI Projects Fail (and how to join the 5%)
In this video I share the 5-step system I use to evaluate and ship AI projects that actually deliver value. After building and deploying 30+ solutions for clients, I kept seeing the same patterns—what works, what breaks, and how to avoid expensive dead-ends. Step #5 is the quiet MVP of the whole method… don’t miss it.

⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters

00:00 – My track record & the core question: why do AI projects succeed or fail?
00:24 – Teaser: step 5 is the big one + the “95% fail” stat & mindset reset
00:46 – It’s not the model, it’s the way we structure the project
01:11 – Who I am & what we’ll cover; quick setup
01:29 – Step 1: Feasibility test — scope, assumptions, proof-of-concept plan
01:52 – Data availability & quality (FAQ coverage, labels, gaps)
02:16 – Labeling errors → hallucinations (the “mug color” example)
02:58 – Data access constraints (CRMs, closed systems, missing APIs)
03:17 – Matching models to the use case; structured vs. unstructured data; audit checklist
04:01 – PoC as a go/no-go gate
04:22 – Sampling test data & measuring early accuracy
04:47 – Enrichment & tagging; realistic PoC timeline (2–4 weeks)
05:49 – Red flags from the PoC; when not to scale
06:10 – Case study: great PoC that failed to scale across markets
07:17 – Set expectations about PoC vs. production reality
07:38 – Step 2: Decide what to measure (define success up front)
07:58 – Accuracy vs. time saved; align with stakeholders
08:18 – Measure what matters; avoid one-metric tunnel vision
08:35 – Cold email example: opens vs. replies vs. revenue
09:12 – Revenue attribution is messy—start with controllable metrics (CTR, accuracy)
09:57 – Internal projects: accuracy requires human-labeled ground truth (and humans err)
10:44 – Step 3: Build tracking (logging, analytics, dashboards)
11:06 – Lead re-activation example: without tracking, attribution is guesswork
11:39 – Report cadence & showing impact (time saved, $ impact)
12:31 – Dashboards that drive decisions
12:50 – Step 4: Communicate constantly (don’t go dark)
13:13 – Common failure: blockers + silence = lost trust
13:35 – Keep stakeholders in the loop; shared ownership; cross-team dependencies
14:22 – Data owners & other departments; you need allies
14:59 – The human factor: resistance to change; align incentives
16:00 – Step 5: Set expectations (incremental improvement; don’t overpromise)
16:29 – AI is powerful—but it ships like an MVP and improves with feedback
16:56 – Better data + better onboarding = better results
17:35 – Adoption challenges (internal chatbots & early “this sucks” reactions)
17:54 – Rollout & training; why custom GPTs go unused
18:23 – Show the difference; validate on a small scale first
18:58 – Apply the same process to small initiatives; keep measuring
19:19 – Join the live AI cohort (with Nadia)
19:38 – Limited seats; production lessons & career upside
19:55 – Outro & what’s next
