Enterprise AI stalls because teams see only parts of the system and miss 43 people involved and nine to twelve month delays when pieces collide. The claim: build a centralized repository blueprint that connects policies, a data catalog, pre‑approved architecture patterns and process‑mining outputs, surface data readiness and governance rules, and version control requirements. A survey cited translation between teams, data readiness, and production readiness as top blockers; the proposed system shortens rework, clarifies incentives, and makes value and risk traceable.
