Only 18% of network-automation projects are rated a complete success. Most vendors won't tell you that. This white paper breaks down what actually separates the 18% from everyone else, and what it's worth when you get it right.

• The four specific ways generic AI breaks on a live network, and why that's the reason most automation underdelivers

• A concrete framework for evaluating whether an AI vendor's claims actually hold up, not just whether the demo looks good

• What responsible autonomy looks like in production today, and how operators are proving it works before trusting it with more
