🏢 Enterprise👥 4 Roles⚡ Real Workflows

Same governance system. Four different daily workflows.

Tuesday you saw the automation code. Today you see how real team members use it. Each role has different dashboards, different alerts, different wins. All working toward one goal: compliant, quality data.

Getting Your Team On Board

⚠️
Fear

Analysts think AI will replace their expertise

💡
Response

Show them the AI flags issues, but they make the final call. Run parallel for 2 weeks: AI + manual. AI catches 40% more issues than manual alone.

Result

Analysts see it as a force multiplier, not a replacement. They focus on complex edge cases instead of repetitive scanning.

⚠️
Fear

Managers worried about false positives overwhelming team

💡
Response

Start with high-confidence alerts only (95%+ accuracy). Gradually lower threshold as team builds trust. Show precision metrics: 99.2% accuracy after 30 days.

Result

Team learns AI is more accurate than manual checks. False positive rate drops to 0.8% within 60 days.

⚠️
Fear

Ops concerned about auto-remediation breaking production

💡
Response

Begin with 'recommend only' mode for 4 weeks. AI suggests fixes, humans approve. Track success rate: 98% of AI recommendations are approved.

Result

After proving accuracy, enable auto-remediation for low-risk fixes. Ops focuses on critical escalations only.

⚠️
Fear

Executives worried about upfront cost vs unclear ROI

💡
Response

Calculate time savings: 13.5 hours/day saved × $75/hour avg = $1,012/day = $22K/month. Show 30-day payback period.

Result

ROI becomes obvious. Executives see governance as revenue enabler (faster compliance = faster deals).

⚠️
Fear

Security team skeptical of AI accessing sensitive data

💡
Response

Run security audit: AI operates in read-only mode, all actions logged, SOC2 compliant. Offer parallel security review for 2 weeks.

Result

Security approves after seeing audit logs and encryption standards. AI becomes trusted member of security stack.
