Your locked-down Claude sandbox is a holding pattern, not a destination
Giving everyone Claude inside an isolated VM, no sensitive data allowed, feels like the safe way to start. It is a fine way to start. The trouble is what happens when you leave people there: the leak it was built to stop walks out by copy-paste anyway, the friction recruits the shadow AI you were trying to prevent, and the value never compounds because nothing in an ephemeral box survives the session. A sandbox is a scaffold. Scaffolds come down.
You are at phase zero, and the deck you were sold starts at phase three
Every enterprise AI maturity model starts a rung above where most companies stand and skips the one that holds the rest up: getting the tool safely into people hands. Your team already has Claude. If IT cannot produce the tenant policy, the egress allowlist, the tool allowlist, and the audit log, you are at phase zero, whatever the deck says.
