Domain-specific¶
- Pilot Purgatory
- McKinsey's Industry 4.0 manufacturing reporting — the January 2018 WEF/McKinsey white paper and the July 2018 Digital Manufacturing: Escaping Pilot Purgatory — applied the term to this pattern specifically: industrial companies running dozens of digital-transformation pilots over years without enterprise rollout, producing strong pilot-site results while the transition to production-at-scale repeatedly stalled
This sourceMcKinsey's July 2018 digital-manufacturing report, drawing on its Digital Manufacturing Global Expert Survey 2018, which applies the phrase 'pilot purgatory' to manufacturers whose pilot activity never converts into production-scale rollout, and credits the underlying observation to its World Economic Forum collaboration. The January 2018 WEF/McKinsey survey of manufacturers investing in Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, which reports more than 70% not past the pilot stage — about 41% still piloting at a single site and about 30% not yet started; McKinsey's companion July 2018 report puts companywide rollout at about 30%.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
