A vendor demos an agent on a clean sample, a budget gets approved because the mandate says move fast, and six months later nobody can say whether it saved an hour or cost one, because no baseline was ever written down. SDAIA's own guidelines exist to unify national efforts precisely because so many of these pilots are running in parallel with no shared measure of success.",[16,20,21],{},"The second failure is a residency question asked too late. An agent built on a foreign cloud region works fine in the demo, then a government client or an NCA audit asks where the customer data actually sits.
