# Integrating new technology without chasing novelty.

Start from operational pain and measurable lift — not press releases — when prioritizing adoption.

## A sane adoption sequence

1. **Name the workflow failure mode you need to eliminate.**  
2. **Pilot with reversible integration boundaries and defined rollback.**  
3. **Measure cycle time or defect rate — not tool enthusiasm.**

## Governance matters

New tech introduces compliance and operational surface area. We pair adoption decisions with who owns incidents, upgrades, and vendor review.
