There's a widening gap between vendor rhetoric and actual deployment: 75% of enterprises claim rapid adoption while simultaneously remaining stuck in pilots, unable to move beyond proof-of-concept phases. Most organizations lack the data quality, integration maturity, and governance frameworks needed to operationalize autonomous agents. The industry is selling solutions to problems companies haven't yet solved at scale. This creates real commercial risk for both vendors, whose growth claims rest on vapor, and enterprises, who'll face mounting pressure to show ROI on AI investments that aren't moving beyond sandboxes.
