Independent research on enterprise AI adoption. Papers on governance gaps, handoff patterns, and the maturity ladder most AI deployments skip.

What's here

10+ research papers on what actually separates shipping agentic systems from pilots:

Beyond the Prompt — why prompt engineering stops working at scale
The Agentic Accountability Gap — who's on the hook when the agent decides
The Hallucination Budget — quantifying the cost of AI hallucinations and mitigation strategies
The Guardrails Gap — why enterprise AI safety frameworks fail when agents act autonomously
The Integration Tax — the hidden cost of wiring AI into real systems
The Mandate Trap — what happens when "we need AI" is a directive, not a strategy
The Measurement Problem — how enterprises measure AI ROI, and where the metrics fail
The Org-Chart Problem — why AI initiatives get stuck at organizational seams
