The Problem

Most AI Initiatives Fail Before They Start

Companies rush into AI only to discover:

Data is siloed, inconsistent, or unreliable

Pipelines break, schemas drift, and quality is unknown

Models train on biased or outdated data

Teams lack engineers who understand both data engineering and AI needs

The result? Expensive AI projects that never move past proof-of-concept.

The Solution
