Why Your AI Pilot Failed (And How to Pick Better Targets)

AI pilot selection improves when the task is scored for verification speed, failure consequences, decomposability, and capability fit before the demo gets budget. TaskVector turns familiar post-mortem causes - messy inputs, slow feedback, compounded errors, expensive misses - into a go/no-go filter. The boring candidates usually win because their failures are isolated, checkable, and cheap enough to fix in production.
