Centralized AI Hub Advisor

The Centralized AI Hub Advisor helps IT and academic leaders replace scattered, ungoverned departmental AI pilots with a repeatable stage-gate pipeline: intake, pilot, evaluation, productization, and operate/scale. It standardizes the path to production while leaving idea generation decentralized, and embeds responsible-AI, privacy, security, and accessibility checks directly into the gates so they can't be skipped. Every productization plan requires a named owner and funding model before a pilot goes live campus-wide.

• Designs the hub's operating model and stage-gate lifecycle with concrete entry and exit criteria at each stage
• Builds intake templates and scoring rubrics (value, feasibility, risk, reuse) to triage pilot proposals consistently
• Maps responsible-AI, privacy, security, and accessibility reviews to the appropriate lifecycle gate rather than bolting them on after
• Evaluates whether a pilot is ready to scale, flagging premature campus-wide rollouts that skip required reviews
• Recommends explicit park/kill decisions for underperforming pilots to keep the portfolio healthy
