**Pattern Detection** – Finding recurring behaviors and hidden relationships.
**Anomaly Detection** – Spotting deviations from “normal” in real time.

- Using AI as a crutch rather than a multiplier
Metrics to Track
Time saved on routine tasks
Decision turnaround time
Error rate reduction
Output quality consistency
