Shared AI Platform

A common internal platform that provides reusable AI services, tooling, guardrails, and infrastructure to multiple teams.

Why it matters

Shared AI platforms matter because they can lower marginal delivery cost and improve control, but they also create allocation, chargeback, and governance questions that are easy to ignore early on.

The economic question is not simply whether a shared platform exists. It is whether the platform makes later use cases cheaper, safer, and faster than a fragmented tool landscape would.
