Your AI Does Not Need More Data. It Needs Context: Why Ontology Is Becoming the Operating Layer for Enterprise AI

Most companies do not have a data problem. They have a context problem. AI can access records, documents and APIs, but it does not automatically understand what those things mean inside the business.

This article shows where time is lost in agent chains, which four questions the architecture has to answer, how synchronous and asynchronous processes differ, and which metrics make latency measurable.
