Agile Defense Wins $2M CDAO Contract for Enterprise Agentic AI Development
The US military just spent $2M to figure out if AI actually works in the real world before rolling it out enterprise-wide.
That's the part nobody talks about.
You bought a tool. Your team ignored it
The US military just spent $2M to figure out if AI actually works in the real world before rolling it out enterprise-wide.
That's the part nobody talks about.
You bought a tool. Your team ignored it. You're out $200/month and still no closer to knowing if AI actually fits your business. That's not failure — that's what happens when nobody tests real-world fit first.
Here's the insight buried in that defense contract: even the most sophisticated organizations don't just buy AI and flip a switch. They run controlled pilots in actual operational environments before committing further. They measure utility before they scale.
That's your playbook too.
Pick one repetitive task your team does manually at least 10 times a week — think data entry, report drafting, or answering the same customer questions. Run one AI tool against that single task for 30 days. Measure time saved. Nothing else changes.
One task. One tool. Thirty days. Real numbers.
That's how you get your first win without touching what already works or betting the house on a consultant's pitch.
What's one task in your business that feels too small to automate but eats more time than it should?
