AI projects often falter not because of weak models, but because the data pipelines supporting them can’t keep up with real-time demands. The companies that succeed usually start small, focus tightly, and build their systems to pull from clean, current data sources — not outdated snapshots. #AI #ML

The AI Bottleneck No One Really Talks About: Real-Time Data Agility

Why nearly 95% of enterprise AI projects stall and how real-time data agility is becoming the new must-have for models that actually deliver
