In enterprise strategy, the mantra โ€œ๐‘๐ž๐š๐๐ฒ, ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ž, ๐€๐ข๐ฆโ€ is often about speed and decisive action firing quickly, learning from those outcomes, and adjusting your aim. Yet, in the world of AI and automation, this approach can be costly. Imagine it like using a cannon: Firing a cannonball without fully understanding the terrain risks wasting resources and missing the mark. ๐’๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ง๐ž๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ž๐œ๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž๐ฌ โ€œ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌโ€ ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ข๐ž๐ซ, ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐›๐ž ๐š ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ž๐๐ ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐ž๐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š๐›๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž.

Now, consider a different approach, before the cannon was the catapult. This weapon of precision taught many a valuable lesson on the battlefield. The difference is in preparation and data utilization. Much like modern artillery, the effectiveness of a catapult depends on known good and previously measured data points. Before a single shot is fired, the distance to that tree, the depth of the pond, and the wind speed are all l known. This data informs the force, angle, and trajectory required to hit the target precisely.
