CHALLENGES

Confident answers, risky data

AI hallucinations

AI assistants often generate plausible-sounding statistics without source. One wrong number in a client pitch can destroy credibility.

Compliance risk

When auditors ask where specific data points come from, citing AI as the sole source will not hold up.

Endless tab-switching

You spend hours switching between AI assistants, Google, and Statista to verify every data point before using it.
