  "title": "Executive One-Pager: Modern SAP AMS in 5 Minutes",
  "hook": "This AMS is designed to reduce risk and cost at the same time — without betting the business on big rewrites.",
  "idea": "Modern SAP AMS treats SAP as a stable core and manages everything around it with signals, discipline, and automation. The result is predictable operations, safer change, and steadily declining cost-to-serve.",
  "what_problem_it_solves": {
    "today": [
      "High AMS cost with recurring incidents",
      "Changes that feel risky and slow",
      "Vendor conflicts and unclear accountability",
      "No clear view where money and effort go"
    ],
    "with_this_ams": [
      "Recurring problems are eliminated, not normalized",
      "Changes are predictable and verifiable",
      "Ownership is explicit across vendors and teams",
      "Cost drivers are visible and controllable"
    ]
  },
  "how_it_works": {
    "simple_model": [
      "Detect issues early using signals, not complaints",
      "Decide fast using evidence and clear ownership",
      "Execute changes safely with gates and rollback",
      "Learn from every issue and automate what repeats"
    ],
    "key_principle": "If something repeats, the system changes — not the people."
  },
  "what_we_measure": {
    "stability": [
      "Business flow availability (SLOs)",
      "Repeat incident rate",
      "Change-induced incidents"
    ],
    "speed": [
      "Time to detect and restore",
      "Lead time for changes"
    ],
    "cost": [
      "Cost per resolved business impact",
      "Cost avoided via problem elimination",
      "Automation ROI"
    ]
  },
  "what_we_do_differently": {
    "stop_doing": [
      "Paying for firefighting",
      "Arguing without evidence",
      "Making changes without verification",
      "Letting vendors optimize against each other"
    ],
    "start_doing": [
      "Funding prevention explicitly",
      "Holding one owner accountable per issue",
      "Using data to prioritize work",
      "Automating repetitive decisions and checks"
    ]
  },
  "why_this_is_safe": {
    "no_big_bang": [
      "No SAP replacement program",
      "No forced migrations",
      "No dependency on a single vendor or tool"
    ],
    "risk_controls": [
      "Clear change gates and rollback rules",
      "Error budgets and stability freezes",
      "Audit-ready evidence by design"
    ]
  },
  "financial_story": {
    "year_1": [
      "Stability improves",
      "Repeat incidents drop",
      "Transparency on real cost drivers appears"
    ],
    "year_2": [
      "Automation and standard changes reduce run cost",
      "Vendor conflicts decline",
      "Upgrade risk drops"
    ],
    "year_3": [
      "AMS cost curve trends down",
      "SAP lock-in pressure reduced",
      "Operations become predictable"
    ]
  },
  "what_success_looks_like": [
    "Business trusts SAP operations again",
    "AMS teams focus on improvement, not survival",
    "Leadership can choose where to invest or cut with confidence"
  ],
  "final_message": [
    "This AMS doesn’t promise zero incidents.",
    "It promises control, learning, and declining cost.",
    "That’s how you run SAP in 2026 and beyond."
  ],
  "design_question": [
    "If we ran AMS this way last year, which problems would no longer exist today?"
