Kill Criteria

Pre-agreed evidence thresholds that determine whether an AI initiative stops, changes, repeats or receives more investment.

Kill Criteria is pre-agreed evidence thresholds that determine whether an AI initiative stops, changes, repeats or receives more investment.

It appears repeatedly across the KUOS case library because leaders need it at a real decision point: defining a boundary, assigning an owner, choosing evidence or deciding whether to scale.

Use it in practice by naming one current workflow, the accountable human, the evidence you expect and the condition that would make you change course.
