We presented a Next Best Action proposal this week. Built on real prescribing data, not synthetic test sets.
Never once talked architecture. The whole conversation was business value.
What mattered: three things lining up. Which KPI the business already tracks.
So we worked backward. KPI first. Then the action. Then the insight that makes a rep trust the recommendation enough to act on it.
Not a technical problem. A business design problem sitting on top of a good model.
Three things, no slide required:
- decisions and workflows inside client orgs, not tech bolted on top
- data architecture for systems that act, not just report
- enough discipline that “efficient” never slides into “reckless”
Before the team scattered for summer break, someone asked the question that actually matters: what concretely awaits us next.
Could’ve answered with a slide. Didn’t.
@finkd Agree open weights help diffusion. But most enterprises I work with don’t have an open/closed problem, they have a “who’s allowed to touch this model and this data” problem. That’s the harder unlock.
@lightsilver323 Honestly? Getting the org to admit the bottleneck is never the AI. It’s decision rights nobody defined and data nobody trusted before the AI showed up. The tech just makes the gap visible faster.
We paused two offers this week.
Not because the client said no — because we weren’t ready to say what we were actually committing to.
Both were built the usual way: scope, deliverables, timeline, price. Standard commercial logic.
It’s a harder conversation to have before signature. It means walking in willing to say “we don’t get paid the same way if this number doesn’t move,” instead of “here’s what we’ll build.”
I've never seen a pharma analytics team regret building governance early. I've seen plenty regret building it late.
What's the state of your governance architecture? Is it by design or by emergency?

The worst governance I've seen is invisible.
You don't see it until you're blocked. A project gets held up because somebody, somewhere, has implicit authority and nobody told the team.
Data quality issue emerges and nobody knows who's supposed to own it.
Bad governance feels like bureaucracy.
The difference is almost always timing and intentionality. If you design governance when the org is small (10-15 people), it's part of the culture. It's how you hire, how you structure work, how you make decisions.
