Why this exists

Most AI advice is either too abstract to act on, or too technical to bring to your board

This roadmap is neither. It's built from the same frameworks Data Masterclass uses inside its enterprise engagements β€” condensed into the order these decisions actually need to happen in.

80%+

of enterprises are already past the AI pilot stage β€” yet most still can't demonstrate business impact.

1–3

is roughly how many genuine "big bets" a board can fund and track, not the 30+ pilots most portfolios sprawl into.

6

decisions, in order, separate a working, governed AI capability from an expensive collection of demos.

Inside the roadmap

Six modules, 29 lessons, taught by the operators who've done this

Module 1 is completely free to watch right now β€” every lesson, taught by named coaches with real enterprise pedigree. Modules 2–6 unlock the moment you sign up below.
