  • Identify business problem
  • Define success metrics
  • Estimate ROI
  • Assess data availability
2

Data Preparation

4-8 weeks
  • Collect and clean data
  • Label training data
  • Validate data quality
  • Split datasets
3

Model Development

6-12 weeks
  • Choose algorithms
  • Train models
  • Optimize hyperparameters
  • Validate performance
4

Production Deployment

4-6 weeks
  • Build API endpoints
  • Implement monitoring
  • Set up A/B testing

5

Monitoring & Iteration

Ongoing
  • Track model performance
  • Retrain on new data
  • Optimize for drift
  • Improve accuracy

Key Considerations

Data Quality

AI models are only as good as their training data. Invest in data cleaning, labeling, and validation before model development.

Ethics & Governance

Implement AI governance frameworks addressing bias, fairness, transparency, and regulatory compliance from day one.

Continuous Improvement

Monitor model performance, retrain on new data, and iterate based on real-world results. AI is never "done."
