What is the Baseline Low Pattern?

No AI capability has sufficient infrastructure to deploy. This is a foundational build, not a gap-closing exercise. This pattern is detected using the CMC Framework when specific infrastructure gaps are present in an organization's profile.

How many AI capabilities does the Baseline Low Pattern affect?

The Baseline Low Pattern blocks 0 AI capabilities from successful deployment. Organizations exhibiting this pattern need to address the underlying infrastructure gaps before these capabilities can function reliably.

How do you detect the Baseline Low Pattern?

Detection is based on CMC dimension analysis: All dimensions ≤ 2 AND average < 2. The framework identifies this pattern by comparing organizational infrastructure levels against capability requirements across six dimensions.

The Baseline Low Problem

No AI capability has sufficient infrastructure to deploy. This is a foundational build, not a gap-closing exercise.

Baseline Low Pattern

"Every pilot works in a sandbox. None survive production."

All dimensions uniformly weak. The organization lacks foundational CMC infrastructure across the board. No single dimension stands out — everything is underdeveloped.

Impact on AI Deployment: No AI capability has sufficient infrastructure to deploy. This is a foundational build, not a gap-closing exercise.

How We Detect This Pattern

All dimensions ≤ 2 AND average < 2

"Our CRM is great. Our ERP is great. Getting them to share data is a six-month project."

Amnesia Pattern

"We document everything. Nobody trusts the documentation."

Locked Vault Pattern

"It's all in SharePoint somewhere. Good luck finding it."
