Supporting context
This article is the final installment of Kamil Banc's three-part GATE System series on AI adoption, published September 2, 2025. It addresses Gate 4, Evolution, and introduces a binary decision method: demonstrate working AI value within 30 days or terminate the project cleanly. The approach is positioned as an antidote to 'AI theater' and endless pilot programs that consume budgets and organizational patience. Earlier installments established the foundation (Gate 1) and covered Gates 2-3 through the APEX Play for automating processes and transforming functions. The full methodology details are behind a paywall, so claims here are grounded in the publicly visible introduction.
