The pattern repeats across banks, insurers, and capital markets firms. The CDO wants to ship a model. The data foundation underneath it can't support it — data nobody fully trusts, definitions that diverge across systems, governance that arrived after the breach. The model that does get built can't survive the compliance review. And the compliance review takes longer than the model took to build.
The use case that finally makes it through gets handed to a team that had no part in building it. Adoption stalls. The executive sponsor has moved on. And the next initiative starts the same way.
