## AI success needs three layers, working as one.

Layer 1

## Context

Gives AI the business meaning behind data: what it is, where it came from, and how it connects to everything else.

 

Layer 2

## Trust

 Decides whether AI should rely on that data: who owns it, how it's governed, and whether it's certified.

Layer 3

## Value

 Connects AI initiatives to outcomes people can measure: adoption, and the KPIs that justify the spend.
