Yet the gap between readiness on paper and readiness in practice is wider than most leaders expect. AI doesn’t fail because the technology isn’t powerful enough; it fails because the enterprise beneath it was never prepared to support intelligence at scale.  Readiness is not a slide

A Valutics Signal Brief  Opening Insight   Most leaders agree that “good data matters,” yet AI programs continue to break under the weight of inconsistent, incomplete, or poorly governed data.
