Why every integrity program starts with data, before AI
The bottleneck is the measurement point that lives in 3 spreadsheets.

Every conversation about AI in asset integrity eventually arrives at the same place: the data. Its structure matters more than its volume (operators have decades of readings). A wall-thickness measurement is only meaningful if the engineer knows which component it belongs to, which circuit that component sits on, and which damage mechanisms that circuit is exposed to.
That is why every Winda engagement starts by building the engineering model, Winda Atlas, on the client's data, before deploying AI agents. The data model is the program.
