Why AI Success Is an Architecture Problem, Not a Model Problem
Most AI initiatives fail not because the models don't work, but because the architecture around them wasn't designed for the real constraints: compliance timelines, data classification, multi-tenancy, and auditability. Here's how to think about AI platform design from first principles.
