Ep 85 | Enterprise AI Success: What Separates Results from Expensive Experiments

Most enterprise AI use cases still aren't delivering measurable value. So what separates the projects that work from the ones that quietly disappear?

In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Mark Ritcey, Vice President of AI and Automation Delivery at Latentbridge and lecturer on AI and machine learning, to examine the decisions that shape enterprise AI success.

SQL-Shaped Intent: The Engineering Behind AgentQL

Our CEO recently wrote reaffirming an architectural decision ThoughtSpot made when LLMs first emerged: we do not use LLMs to directly generate SQL. My team has spent the better part of a year building AgentQL: a capability that doubles down on our decision. So let me explain what we actually built, why it doesn't just honor that architectural decision but depends on it, and the engineering choices underneath.

Data Cleansing: The Complete Guide (Process, Techniques, Examples)

Data cleansing sits at the heart of every reliable data pipeline. Yet despite being essential to trusted analytics and decision-making, cleaning data remains one of the most time-consuming and undervalued steps in modern data workflows. With poor data quality creating significant operational challenges, getting data cleansing right has never been more critical.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Explained for Data Teams

Data teams face an impossible challenge: democratize data access across the organization while maintaining security controls and meeting regulatory requirements. Without a structured approach, engineering teams spend 15-25% of their time handling access requests instead of building data products. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) transforms this operational chaos into a manageable system but only when implemented correctly.

8 Best Salesforce Data Cleansing Tools in 2026

Salesforce serves as the operational backbone for sales, marketing, and customer service teams worldwide. When that foundation contains duplicate records, incomplete fields, or outdated information, the consequences cascade throughout the entire organization. Sales teams waste hours chasing leads that already exist in another record. Marketing campaigns target contacts who left their companies months ago.

What Private Equity Firms Need from a Portfolio Reporting Tool

Most portfolio reporting tools assume the data underneath them is already clean and comparable across every portfolio company. It rarely is. A fund with twenty portfolio companies usually has twenty different ERPs, twenty different charts of accounts, and a reporting team that spends the week before every LP update reconciling numbers by hand.

How to Feed Consolidated Financial Data into Power BI

Power BI is a reporting layer. It renders whatever data reaches it, but it doesn't harmonize a chart of accounts, eliminate intercompany transactions, or trace a number back to the journal entry across ten different ERPs. Keboola is the governed data foundation that does that work upstream, then feeds consolidated, audit-ready financials into Power BI. No rip-and-replace, no new reporting tool to learn.
