What You'll Learn
✓
Why 32–68% of ML projects fail to reach production — and the #1 reason they fail (89% cite unclear problem definition).
✓
The real cost of building AI in-house — $180K–$240K/year fully loaded per ML engineer, before infrastructure and data pipeline costs.
✓
When to buy vs when to build — Stripe built fraud detection in-house. Slack bought the OpenAI API. Which decision are you facing?
✓
The 5% trap — ML code is only 5% of a production ML system. The other 95% is configuration, data pipelines, and monitoring infrastructure.
✓
A 2-week decision framework — How to evaluate build/buy/hire so you have a decision, not a debate, by day 10.
