When people trust AI outputs too readily, a human-in-the-loop becomes a rubber stamp. Interface and process choices that keep review meaningful.
Many AI proofs of concept end in a demo and a shrug. A short charter written before the build turns them into decisions.
Most computer vision inspection problems are solved, or doomed, by lighting, camera placement and data collection long before model architecture is chosen.
Most AI projects that stall do so because of data. Twelve questions to answer before committing budget, and what to do when the answers are uncomfortable.
Uptime dashboards will not tell you that answers have quietly become worse. A monitoring plan for quality, grounding, safety, cost and user behaviour.
An extraction system can be 95 percent accurate and still get the invoice amount wrong. Why field-level measurement drives better automation decisions.
