Notes from the practice: graded forecasts, closed-network AI, and what industrial AI actually delivers, with every figure labeled by its source.
Secure & Sovereign AI
Microsoft runs a disconnected GPT-4 for US intelligence; France runs self-hosted army AI; the US Army serves ~75,000 users. Sovereignty is a requirement.
Demand Forecasting
More Retail took forecast accuracy from 24% to 76%; Walgreens cut over-forecasting from 15% to 1%. The common thread is not the algorithm: someone graded it.
Manufacturing AI
Verified, source-labeled results from Audi, BMW, a peer-reviewed study and Israeli manufacturer Kanfit: what industrial AI really delivers in production.
