Why your AI pilot stalled at the context gap
Most AI pilots don't stall because of weak models — they stall because the system lacks trusted context, and this post lays out how to close that gap. It reframes context as the foundation Databricks teams need to build before scaling AI initiatives past the pilot stage.
Scaling AI is easy. Trusting it is hard.
As AI initiatives scale, weak data trust and governance are often the first things to crack, exposing gaps that undermine reliability before models even get the blame. This post examines where those failures typically originate and what it takes to shore up governance so scaling doesn't outpace trust.

Databricks handles compute while dbt governs the transformation logic that defines what the data actually means — yet organizations routinely bundle these as a single approval decision. The post argues executives should treat the platform choice and the transformation-logic choice as separate decisions, not one.
