The Wrong Question
Walk into any financial services boardroom and you will hear it: "What's our AI strategy?"
Consultants get hired. Budgets get allocated. PowerPoint decks multiply.
It is about as useful as asking "What's our electricity strategy?"
AI itself is table stakes. What separates firms is intelligence that actually understands their domain. The question that matters:
"What business problems are we trying to solve? And how can intelligence built for Capital Markets solve these problems?"
What CEOs Are Actually Seeing
Teneo's survey of 350+ public company CEOs tells the story. Less than half of AI projects deliver more return than cost. Yet 68% plan to increase spending in 2026.
That is not irrational. It is leadership realising generic AI was never the answer. Domain intelligence is.
The Predictable Journey
Here is how most firms learn that lesson:
1. AI becomes table stakes.
2. Hire talent, deploy generic platforms.
3. Pilots disappoint - outputs lack context.
4. Pivot to domain intelligence.
Instead of asking "What's our AI strategy?", Engine AI customers skip directly to step 4:
"What intelligence do our decision-makers need to move faster with confidence?"
