Governing Context Layers Doubles the Catch of Bad AI Answers
Enterprises that govern their AI data are catching twice as many bad answers as those that don't, not because they have worse context, but because they can see it failing. Across 101 companies, 68% traced a confident-but-wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context in the past six months, and the most common experience wasn't a one-off. It was recurrence. The governed semantic layer built to fix this is revealing the problem before it solves it. That's not a setback.
Enterprises invest in AI speed but lack visibility into infrastructure costs.
Enterprises are running AI in production, 66% have live workloads, and 29% operate at scale, yet fewer than half can rigorously track what that compute costs. Performance and GPU availability now outrank total cost of ownership, and reliability outranks price. That trade makes sense under pressure, but it leaves the weakest satisfaction score on value for money, a judgment made without full instrumentation. The next dollar targets specialized clouds and new silicon, even as current GPU utilization stalls near half.
