  • File 3: 90% clean (processed by expert)
  • Average: 82% with high variance

Consistent AI Cleaning:

  • File 1: 99% clean
  • File 2: 99% clean
  • File 3: 99% clean
  • Average: 99% with minimal variance

Benefit

Consistent quality ensures reliable downstream processes and decision-making.

Benefit 4: Scalability

Explanation

AI handles any data volume from small files to millions of rows without proportional time increase.

Scalability Comparison

File Size Manual Time AI Time Efficiency Gain
