Why AI companies want it

AI has read the public internet. Now it needs to learn how work gets done.

The value isn't simply the number of records. AI developers increasingly need examples of how professionals perform real work: decisions, revisions, exceptions, approvals and outcomes. Buyers want examples of real work:

  • Decisions.Why a quote was priced, a claim approved or a vendor chosen.
  • Revisions.How a draft, design or forecast changed before it was final.
  • Exceptions.What the team did when the standard process didn't fit.
  • Approvals.Who signed off, in what order and on what basis.
  • Outcomes.What happened next, and whether it worked.
