AI Strategy Management

The idea that scored high and still couldn't launch

October 8, 2026 ยท Length 1:05

A high score can make a risky idea look ready. In AnnexIQ every candidate gets one weighted score across five dimensions, and two guardrails sit outside it: an unresolved legal blocker and a critical safety gap. In the Stage-Gate Tracker, an idea that scored well but carries a critical safety gap stays blocked in Validation. Clearing it takes a named person's sign-off, not a better score.

For Chief AI Officers, CISOs and risk leaders who review a promising AI idea before it reaches production.

Good to know: The two guardrails are flags that a person sets and resolves. They govern an idea's progress through the portfolio stages and do not switch off or block any AI system running elsewhere.
