Over 80% of AI initiatives fail. Not because the technology isn’t ready—but because the data isn’t. In this executive brief, Specright’s Chief Product Officer Karthik Rajagopal outlines why fragmented product and packaging data is the biggest barrier to trusted AI—and how a spec-first foundation changes everything.

In this executive brief, you’ll learn:
AI fails without AI-ready data: Most AI initiatives break down not because of the models, but because fragmented, unstructured specification data undermines trust, accuracy, and ROI.
Specifications are the true AI foundation: A connected, spec-first data model enables impact analysis, compliance, supplier collaboration, and decision-making that ERP and legacy PLM systems cannot support.
Trusted AI requires structure, context, and governance: Explainable, auditable, and secure AI only scales when built on structured specification intelligence with human oversight embedded in workflows.
“Specright enables us to track everything from the early stags of development, to production and end of life. Preparing to use Specright forced us to hold up a mirror and absorb a lot of reflective moments. It was very eye-opening and we feel much better prepared for the future now.”
