  • Decision Contracts: Turning Predictions into Accountable Business Actions

    Decision Contracts: Turning Predictions into Accountable Business Actions
    Feb 8 2026
    Models that emit scores rarely include the binding rules leaders need: who acts, when, at what threshold, and who pays for mistakes. In this 20‑minute executive monologue Mirko introduces ‘Decision Contracts’—compact, board‑readable agreements that translate predictions into executable, funded business decisions. The episode defines the contract’s essential fields (decision trigger and action matrix, costs of false positives/negatives, human‑in‑loop gates, rollback and fallback plans, monitoring SLIs, feedback cadence, funding and escalation clauses), illustrates two anonymized vignettes where absent decision rules caused revenue or compliance harm, and gives a repeatable rubric to draft and pilot Decision Contracts in 30–90 days. Listeners get board‑friendly KPIs, a prioritized checklist to brief legal/procurement/business owners, and a link to download the Decision Contract template to place into procurement and governance cycles. Practical, non‑technical, and immediately actionable for executives who must make predictions produce measurable value. CTA: download the Decision Contract template at datascience.show/decision-contracts. That’s the difference between models and value.

  • Incentives That Stick: Designing Executive and Team Incentives to Deliver Measurable AI Outcomes

    Incentives That Stick: Designing Executive and Team Incentives to Deliver Measurable AI Outcomes
    Feb 7 2026
    Too many AI programs fail not for lack of models but because incentives push the wrong behavior: teams optimize vanity metrics, vendors chase one‑time uplift, and business owners avoid ownership of outcomes. In this 20‑minute executive monologue Mirko lays out a compact, pragmatic playbook for designing incentives and performance systems that tie funding, career signals, and product KPIs to measurable business outcomes. The episode explains three incentive levers (funding cadence, metrics architecture, and career/accountability design), gives concrete examples of misaligned incentives and how they produced measurable harm, and presents a repeatable rubric to choose metrics that resist gaming (multi-horizon measures, cohort-based LTV, cost‑to‑serve). Listeners receive a prioritized 30–90 day checklist to audit current incentives, sample KPI translations for finance/product/data, and negotiation language to align procurement and legal. Practical, non‑technical, and immediately actionable for leaders who must turn pilots into sustained value.

  • SLOs for AI: An Executive Playbook to Define, Monitor, and Enforce Model & Data Service-Level Objectives

    SLOs for AI: An Executive Playbook to Define, Monitor, and Enforce Model & Data Service-Level Objectives
    Feb 6 2026
    Executives often demand reliability from AI but lack a shared language to measure it. In this 20-minute monologue Mirko opens with a concise vignette where unseen model latency and stale features caused revenue slippage, then delivers a compact, decision-first playbook for Service-Level Objectives (SLOs) tailored to models and data. Listeners learn how to define business-aligned SLOs (accuracy bands, latency windows, freshness, fairness thresholds), set error budgets, choose a minimal monitoring signal set that executives can read, and map SLO breaches to concrete decision gates and funding actions. Practical artifacts include a board-ready SLO template, example alert thresholds, and a prioritized 30–90 day pilot plan to embed SLOs into governance. The episode keeps trade-offs explicit and non-technical so leaders can commission measurable reliability commitments. CTA: download the Executive SLO Template and 30–90 Day Playbook at datascience.show/slo. That’s the difference between models and value.
