What's in the AI Implementation Guides Hub

Practical implementation guides for AI inside owned, compliant infrastructure — what to do in week one, what the staged rollout looks like, what the integration touch points are, and what the governance framework needs to cover. Each guide is written for the operator who's been told to ship the AI initiative — the CIO, the dean of advising, the head of compliance, the IT director — not the executive who's been told to fund it.

The guides cluster by lifecycle: assessment (AI readiness, current-state audit, gap analysis), architecture (FERPA-by-design, HIPAA-aligned, FedRAMP-ready), implementation (LMS-integration steps, agent configuration, model routing), and operations (monitoring, evaluation, governance, change management). Pair them with the reference architectures (linked from each guide) and the calculators (for the TCO and ROI inputs the board will ask about).

Each guide assumes the deployment model ibl.ai recommends: orchestration managed by ibl.ai, compute and data inside the customer's perimeter, any LLM with automatic fallbacks, agents from the open source claws library. Steps are concrete; checklists are real; the timeline assumes a competent operator and a willing IT department.
