Consensus Brief

A white paper based on a survey of over 700 practitioners reveals that data-related issues are the primary cause of model failures in visual and physical AI. It highlights that successful teams invest significantly more time in data work compared to those that struggle, and that the field is perceived as underinvested despite measurable value being recognized by many teams.
