If you're a $5M+ business in a regulated industry, we'll find the #1 constraint bottlenecking your business and the best solution to solve it - whether it's AI or not - for free: https://alreadybuilt.ai/strategy
Everyone is racing to put AI on everything, but the work that actually moves money, the diligence, the research, the numbers behind a real decision, is the one place it still falls down. Not because the models are weak, but because you can't use an answer you can't check, and you can't put your most sensitive data somewhere you don't control. In this episode, Otavio breaks down five hard truths about running AI on high-stakes work: why verification is the real bottleneck, why your deal data can't live in someone else's cloud, why the impressive demo never ships, why "show me the source" has become a legal line now that regulators are fining AI-washing, and why the talent gap everyone complains about is really a data problem. Then how to build AI you can actually verify and own.
