    Business-First AI™ Applied

    D1 — DiscoverD2 — Diagnose

    SaaS teams move fast — but AI initiatives that skip the Discover (D1) and Diagnose (D2) stages often spend 6 months building the wrong thing. Business-First AI™ requires a signed-off problem statement and a data readiness score before any architecture discussion starts. For SaaS, the most common D2 blocker is insufficient behavioural data history: teams try to build churn models on 90 days of data when the model needs 12+ months.
